I never thought if get an iPhone but tried it out after returning another smart phone that didn't work out for me. This was back when the 3G was out. Then I got the 4, and the 5. Each time I waited to see the phone in person to try it out before buying and I'll do the same with the 6. Honestly, I'm not a big fan of large screens. The 5 already stretches my hand. I don't know if I'll upgrade for that reason alone. As far as there being other phones out there that have better specs, the reasons I continually go back to the iPhone is because it does what I need it to do, repeatedly, and the build quality has always been better.
