1. I've got an iPhone 5s. I only got it a year ago and it's fine
Chances are, if you got your iPhone 5s when it came out, you're still way within your contract. Phone contracts are costly to buy out of, and networks don't make the kind of profit on an iPhone that they do on other handsets, so they're loathe to let you go.
And in any case, we've not reached the stage where the performance boost will be noticable. Give it a year and they'll bring out an iPhone 6S.
2. My thumbs don't stretch that far and my pockets aren't wide enough
The whole big screen phone thing is bizarre. Smartphones are supposedly designed to be used with one hand - so you can drink a coffee, hold onto a tube handle or bus rail, or do whatever else it is you do with your other hand while you're on the phone.
The 4.7" screen of the iPhone 6 is longer than the average human thumb, making it impossible to use one-handed. If you have to introduce a feature which moves the whole screen down a bit so you can reach the stuff at the top - which Apple has - you're doing it wrong.
Also, the plainly ludicrous 5.5" screen of the iPhone 6 Plus makes it bigger than most trouser pockets. And if you end up specially buying jeans with big pockets that you can fit your phone in, you probably need to rethink some life choices.
3. Android phones have had most of the new features forever
iPhones have taught us to accept terrible battery life. You'll be lucky if you get a day of normal use out of the 5s, and while the 6 claims an improvement, it's doubtful it'll be all that noticable.
Sony's Xperia z3 boasts a battery that'll last two days, or so they claim. Surely Apple can do better than that.
5. It's really, really expensive
We don't know how much the networks are going to charge for the iPhone 6 on contract yet, but it's unlikely to be much less than rs:67,000 on a two year contract.
And if you want to buy it outright, it'll set you back rs:67,000.
Let's take a look at what you could buy for rs:67,000 instead.
