Do you upgrade with each new incarnation? If so, why? if not, why not?
 
going out today to look at the iphone 6. I'm considering switching my service from Verizon to T-Mobile, saving $20 a month.
 
I'll get it once my contract finishes on the one I have.

I don't social network so my life doesn't revolve around my phone.
 
I recently tossed my cell phone in the garbage. I hadn't used it once in 30 months. Life is better now.

If you hadn't used it in 30 months, how could throwing it away make the slightest bit of difference to your life?

I have threatened to do away with my cell completely. I use it no more than 4-5 times a week to call on my way home from work to see if I need to pick anything up. I have a commute that is over an hour, so my family feels better that I have some form of communication in case I have problems on the road. I think this is silly and can see the day when I win this argument.

but is it really worth making the change in phones? saving on service is one thing, but if you buy a new phone that does the same thing as what you have, is that really a savings? and also, if it does basically, the same things as the phone you have, isn't that redundant?

Well, if I'm going to make a change, it's going to be now. My contract is up with Verizon, I held off on upgrading to the iPhone5 because I knew the iPhone 6 was coming out this year. My old iPhone 4 has done a wonderful job, but I've been wanting the bigger screen for a long time. My only complaint about the iphone 4 is the tiny screen...the iphone 6 seems to be the answer, and the timing is good.
 
I ordered the Plus yesterday but it won't arrive for 3-4 weeks. My only concern is it might be too big, but if it is, I'll just return it to Apple for the regular iPhone 6.

Youre so brave.
 
No .

I have Pay As You Go with the cheapest phone available .
I prefer face to face conversations with friends and family and only have one for emergencies .
 
I appreciate all of you buying the new iPhone and wish you'd buy two....
 
I'll be getting it either in a couple of months or maybe early next year once the initial bum rush slows down and the Radio Shacks in my area (where I got my last phone) can restock. I currently have about $90 on a trade-in value for my iP5 and I can throw it towards a switcheroo. There also might be some year-end holiday dealios if I wait and see.

It's not a to-die-for must-have as I'm quite satisfied with my iP5, but I am interested in the expanded screen real-estate and a faster LTE connection. Eventually I need to keep current, especially since I use Apple tech for work and play.

Sounds a lot like my usage. Most of the time it sits in the car as I hate carrying the phone around. Basically, a convenience for a car emergency or occasionally when I absolutely need to be capable of being contacted and a land line (home or work) is not going to be available.

I have a smartphone as it came free with the service package...but a simple, basic flip phone would in reality serve me just as well.

I had the new IPhone two years ago.

You big ole trendsetter, you.
