Hi Andrew. I agree with Sieghard about getting a 5S. I know with myself when I got my 5S, I was only getting $60 for my 4S. I wanted a 32 GB 5S but I settled for 16 because it was only $100 so I only had to pay about $40 for it plus $15 for the sim card from Telus.
As for processors, I'm not a power user as well. I don't use Safari because I have a Mac to surf the internet with. So the A7 chip is good enough for me. As long as I can use Alex on my phone, that's good enough for me. Yeah sure, the A8 chip on the 6 and 6 Plus sounds good, but like Sieghard said, I don't think there would be any improvements to speed. Also, we in Canada can't use Apple Pay, which is one of the biggest features of the 6 so there's really no point. I'll worry about upgrading when iOS can no longer be upgraded on my 5S.
