I have been an iPhone uer for a while - 3, 4, 5, 5s. I'll get a 6 next year.
Main reasons for not changing: - Stability. These things just keep working much like yours. - Consistency. I know iOS, the apps are proofed and generally work as expected - Investment. Got a lot of $$ ties up in apps and music. It's easier to stay with iPhone I'm on AT&T, wife is on Verizon. Both have excellent coverage and few holes. I used to burn through data faster when I was commuting and in the field. Now that I'm at a home office on WiFi I use much less. Hope that helps.
