Ok, since you are UK, as I am, you might want to check out 3/Three's deal,
I'm told it is very good. Check out GiffGaff as a PAIG. Check out the 2nd
hand buy/sell lists over here, like Recycle-it and Thebargainstore on
yahoogroups.co.uk.
also, since we are both in the market, we have found an eBay supplier of
Class "A" refurbs for a little over £300, including 1 yr warrantee. They're
still £549 off Apple direct.
I'll consult with 'er downstairs, sorry, 'er in bed; about the eBay
supplier.
Finally, www.preloved.com is a fee-free ad service and found a good few
there too, though an entirely different risk aspect to trading blind on a
site like that. eBay does at least offer some safeguards. So does paying
by PayPal if you use this latter suggestion.
£300/350 is about the target price for a basic 5S in good condition.

Sieghard, Kelly, Shawn and others,
Thank you for your comments. I live in the UK so I don’t think that Apple
Pay will be here any time soon. What you have so far said is very balanced,
and I’m reading all your comments with great attention.

Hello Andrew and Shawn,
Shawn, you made a good point which I forgot. The support for Apple Pay
would be a very compelling reason for me to get a 6 if I was living in the
States. But as you mentioned, Canada won't see Apple Pay for a while
although it would be my guess that Apple Pay will be in Canada before too
long as our financial and credit card systems are similar. I fully expect
that I will upgrade again next year, but with Apple Pay taken out of the
equasion there really isn't enough reason to upgrade from a 5S to a 6.
As far as how much of a compelling reason Apple Pay is for you, Andrew,
that is entirely up to you. I am very intriqued by it and feel it is very
well thought out and implemented based on what I heard about it. It
appears to be an Apple product in the old way when Apple would not release
half-baked stuff as they sometimes have done in the last couple of years.
Regards,
Sieghard

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.

Hi,
Based on one’s financial situation, what is your opinion about getting an
iPhone 5S as opposed to iphone 6? Please give me your honest opinion.
Yes, I’m looking at the matter from the point of view of someone who will
have to take a small loan to get a new iPhone. So I’d like to know
whether I would notice a significant difference in performance between
iPhone 5S and iPhone 6? Many of you on the list have been using iPhone
for a variety of tasks in difficult situations. Please let me have your
experiences. I read that iPhone 5S has a A7 chip which would make it
possible for me to use Alex. I guess it has more other opportunities,
advantages, I mean. On the other hand, iPhone 6 offers the A8 chip and
maybe just maybe a different future possibility? Please let me hear your
voices experiences. I’m not a particularly powerful iPhone user as yet.
Many thanks
Andrew
