The only downside is the size. The 6 is larger than the 5, though not by all that much, and the 6 Plus is a monster. You'll also need new accessories--case, screen protector, etc. Aside from that, and the fact that you'll then be in a new contract with the 6 and thereby miss this year's updated phone, there are no downsides I can think of. The upsides are numerous:
* faster processor and cell connection * Apple Pay, if your area and bank support it * Touch ID, for using your fingerprint in place of some passwords and to unlock your phone * better battery * larger screen * better camera * I know I'm forgetting more > On Mar 21, 2015, at 1:07 PM, Phil Halton <philh...@gmail.com> wrote: > > My 2 year contract ends in a few weeks and I’m tempted to upgrade from the > iPhone 5 to the 6.
