Nope.
I like Apple products, in a vacuum... however in the real world the competition is closing fast in terms of design and build quality (Hello HTC One!) and long since passed in terms of functionality.
And as for value... well, Apple never really tried to compete, did they.
Good for Apple, making money and selling products that lots of people buy.
Good for the rest of us however that want to buy the competition - it keeps everyone on their toes!

Will you be buying an iPhone 5C/5S?
Come again?
Nope. A few months ago I finally upgraded my old x10 mini, I have no idea how long I had that phone. Tried my brothers S3 and Sis in laws iphone 4s before getting and a lumia 820. Love my new phone. Maybe by the time my contract ends Apple may have a new design? They seem stuck in iterate rather than innovate since even before Mr jobs passed.
Oh look it has funky covers like my lumia 520... still no!
Never !
No.
Screen size is not acceptable for me.
I have an iPhone 4 and my next phone will also be an iPhone, just not the 5S. I really hope they "fix" the screen size with the iPhone 6. Apple products are still the best looking, and I want it all metal, as much as possible, and this should include the smallest buttons or covers, even that for the SIM card. No plastic please, unless there's a technical reason for it to be there.
no why buy something well over priced .. my s3 will do me another 2 yrs and at £18 a month for just another yr it ant cost much ..

I have had an IPhone 3G and 4s just sold my 4 and bought a Samsung Note 2 which I got for a very good price and was presently surprised by how nice the software is to use and just how nice the phone is in general after hearing nothing but negative remarks from friends and work colleagues. The best part is that I can now take phone calls from my house! so, plastic can be an advantage sometimes.
Apple had it right with the 3Gs, however, ever since the device has moved away from its ergonomic beginnings:
iPhone 4 - Uncomfortable shape/material, poor signal and vs 3GS comparative loss of performance due to pushing retina pixels.
iPhone 5 - Caving to popular demand, adapted widescreen, despite it further damaging ergonomics on a case and OS not designed for widescreen, directly in contradiction to Steve Job's principals over the roll of widescreen in iPhone (he said following much research it was found not to be ergonomic). On a side note, non-standard resolution meant no 1:1 pixel scaling of many videos and as new features were being added, the OS hadn't been updated to cope, resulting in ever increasing drill-downs etc, further reducing usability.
iPhone 5s - Nothing new, iOS 7 may help to resolve some of the flaws of expanding functionality, through fast access menus etc, however feels more like an Android Patch/Bolt-on than a redesign that looks to improve usability from the core.
The iPhone 3Gs had me coloured impressed, but ever since I've felt the device lost its 'special something' and gave way to Android alternatives.
So no, no iPhone 5s for me.
Yes - more than likely I'll be getting one, wife too. There's nothing 'wrong' with the 4S that we both have at the moment, but that said the update to the camera is a big plus for the wife. We have a fair bit of Apple 'ecosystem' at home and so it's an obvious choice for us to be honest. We always miss a generation and buy the updated S version rather than the initial offering too, tend to find it's more reliable that way, plus you have a better idea of what's to come.
No! ...I am a conscientious objector to Apple technology. It's not that I am adverse to innovation, or competition, I just don't agree with the way Apple do things...for instance, I bought a charger for my iPod, however it wouldn't work with my mate's iPod as his was a previous generation...
At £709 for the 5S in the Apple store ... not for me.
dunno who said it first, but... AW, HELL NO !
