Dear Andrew, My suggestion is to obtain the iPhone 6. I recommend this because the high quality design and manufacture of these devices means that if the phone is protected in a hard case, it will last far longer than the operating systems and apps on the phone. At a certain point, the phone won't support certain functionality and new iOS releases. iPhones have an expiration date. Currently, it is about four years from the time of a new iphone and iOS version until Apple no longer supports the phone with updates. If you were to buy a 5s, you will reach the expiration date sooner than if you wer to buy the 6.
I realize your thought process. For the blind iPhone user, the six is a minor incremental improvement. The biggest benifits are in a larger screen and improved camera. The processor is just 25 percent faster. Processor speeds doubled in the 5 and 5s compared to their previous models. battery life is slightly longer in the six compared to the 5s. To me the issue is the useful life of the phone and when it might need replacement.
