I decided on a 5s. The cost of the 5s with 32 gig was $149 through Verizon, versus $399 for the 6 with 64 gig.
Also, I called to order over the phone and the rep told me that she can only sell the 6 and 6+. An hour later, another rep was pleased to help me purchase a 5s. Go figure.

The 5C can also still be had from Apple and many places for even less. If you want a 5s, I'd ask about it. It may not be in the displays and it may not even be in stock, but I'd think it would be the rare store that couldn't get it for you. You could also get it directly from Apple if you have no other options. On 11/04/2014 10:50 AM, Flor Lynch wrote: > Many stores don't give you that choice.
