The first thing in the morning when I wake up is to check the weather. Just placing my right index finger on the home button of my 5s opens the phone. And, that’s usually pre-coffee! <grin> That should say it all right there my friend!

Hi Robin, You definitely want to get at least the 5S, it has a 64 Bit CPU and, as you said, Touch Id. Alex is of course correct in saying that the 5S will most likely be the free phone when the new models come out in September, that is actually only just over 4 months away since the Apple Event is usually in the first two weeks of September and new phones start shipping shortly after that. You may even see the 5S on sale at no cost with contract before then as resellers are trying to clear inventory. By the way, Touch Id works great and if you have to password protect your phone you’ll love it. I find it easier and faster to unlock my 5S with my fingerprint than to wake up the phone, find the unlock button and double tap it.

Yes, both have Siri. The camera on the 5S is better, if OCR is something you do, and the processor is better. The iPhone 6, by the way, will start at $199 if the pricing is the same as usual. You might consider waiting a few more months, though. By October, the newest iPhones will be out; even if you don't want one of those, that should drive the prices down, letting you get the 5S for 99 cents or the 6 for $99. I know it's a ways off, but if you've gone over two years already, what's six more months? Who knows, the big features of the next iPhone might convince you to buy the newest one.

If I haven’t delayed too long, Verizon has offered me another upgrade and I’m trying to decide what to do. I can pay 99 cents for a 5c or $99..00 for a 5s. I do not know what it would cost me to dgo to a 6, but I will ask. I’m not a power user like many of you, but I do use several apps, especially mail, BARD, Kindle and some kids games. I’m not one for buying a phone at full price, so trying to make a cost effective decision. I’m trying to read the differences in the 5c and 5s. They key feature I have found that interests me is the fingerprint reader on the 5s and my company requires me to password protect my phone and I find this annoying. Do both models include Siri? I’ll post separately to ask about using Siri as this will be a new thing for me. Any other advice here on these models before I make a decision?
