I've got a 4S currently and went to buy a 5S by queuing in line in Leicester on day of release. Arrived, waited, then was told the apple store was sold out 1/2hr before it opened.
Went home, considered it for a few days then ordered online with a random delivery date of "October".
Really thought about over the last day or two and have cancelled my order all together.
Sod em.
The whole bloody thing is a cartel. There is no shortage of 5S's - my local phone shop has them but "is not allowed" to sell them off contract. Only the apple store can sell the 5S at the moment as sim-free. I bet there is a right cartel between the mobile operators and Apple to make people take STUPID mobile phone monthly contracts - c.£40-50 a month!!
I just rang Three and renewed my One Plan as a sim-only for £15/month, 12 month contract. So much cheaper even if I had decided to buy a 5S.
I'll wait for the 6 now. I just really hope they do something special with the next one. I'd love it to be able to take 2 sims (so I can ditch my work BB), have the ability to make contactless payments (just like my bank cards do) incorporating the new fingerprint scanner, have a better battery life etc.
After having spent money on apps in the app store, I'm reluctant to use another platform - I had a Galaxy S3 for work and it was awful. Phone too physically big and the quality of the apps was no where near as good as the app store alternatives.
And when you think that iPhone is the defacto platform for new gadget compatibility (as the hardware that runs it is a known quantity), I will stick with Apple.
