Iphone 5s V Iphone 6

Which one is best to get new?


Did the 6 have bugs whereas the 5S had all the 5 bugs ironed out?


£27.50 V £32.50 a month with a free handset so not much in it, a pound a week ish.


Opinions? Thanks very much.


And no Android comments pls? I have one and I love it. Apple device is for someone else.

    Do they not have the same OS forced by Apple?
    If the OS is the same, older models are likely to have more bugs with a new OS.

    iPhone 5s: 4" screen and TouchID.
    iPhone 6: 4.7" screen and TouchID (with Apple Pay).

    The iPhone 5s supported 4G LTE on all of the U.K. networks whereas the iPhone 5 is only capable of LTE on EE/Three.

    The 5s was good, but the 6 was even more popular and had exceptional satisfaction ratings.

    Future IOS updates will favour newer models - expect another year of usable life from the 6 over the 5s.

    Or to put it another way, you will be able to sell the 6 for more than the 5s when you come to upgrade.
  • without a doubt get the 6. Bigger screen, better spec. Most difference ive noticed by upgrading since getting my first smart phone
