mine says property of NY Telephone. It's really heavy too. I think I'm renting it.

it's missing the paper label with my phone number. Drives my wife crazy she wants to get a new one but I say no.

I've only had my 6 for about 2 months. Previously had a 4, but it was taking too long to pull up my contacts.

This is the best cell phone I've ever owned. A bit tough to fit in my pocket though.

I really wish i can go back to my Blackberry. The perfect phone will be a combination of Blackberry and an iPhone. I've been using an iPhone since early 2012 and i still cannot get used to the on-screen keyboard.

Check out the new Priv, a shame it will be Android powered as the BBOS is fantastic for communications management. i have been SCREAMING for a slide phone for three years, it's the perfect phone, you get big, real, actual keys plus a 5.5 inch srcreen. WIN and WIN.

iPhone 5S for 2 years. Probably waiting for the 7 before getting another.

I think it's fine to buy an Android if you like the phone selections better, but I also think buying an Android purely to avoid buying an iPhone isn't much different than buying an iPhone.

Posted this elsewhere but in the past couple of years I have had 3 iPhones, 5 Blackberry's including a Porsche Design, countless number or Android's and a Window's phone. Even right now I am switching in between S6 Edge, Blackberry Passport Silver Edition and iPhone 6S Plus (which I just sold). Thinking of picking up a Turing Phone (look it up) or a Blackberry Priv. Kinda want both but going to force myself to stick to one, just got to see which one now.

iPhone 5s for two years as well. Had three Androids and both BB Storms before it. As far as the Androids went, I got tired of the major OS upgrades from the various manufacturers of Androids I owned (Motorola, Samsung, and HTC) basically bricking the fucking phone and the crappy sound (through headphones). I was carrying both an iPod and my smart phone when I traveled they all sounded so bad. They still haven't improved (checked out the OneM9, wasn't impressed).

For me the 6s seems like a good option, but I'll probably wait for for the 7, because I am not the Apple iPhone fanboi moron that falls into this category. Right now I am happy with size and overall functionality of the 5s. I also really like that not a single IOS update slowed my previous 5 (work phone from my former employer) or my current 5s down to the point where the phone was practically unusable and had to be rebooted 5 times a day.

I had a 5s and my work sent me a 6s. Not sure if I like it better. I think I preferred the 5s.

I still like my iPhone 5 after all these years other than having to charge it too many times in a day.....I don't need a new latest greatest phone,just need a better battery that can last 1 whole day despite how much I use it(I doubt this will ever be possible)
