I've had my iPhone 5 since it came out years ago. I like it still, but I'm aching to buy a new one because it's now sluggish, won't run Apple Pay (too old), and has a screen that's a little too small for my giant hands and aging eyeballs. I would buy a 6 or 6+, but don't want to do that because the 7's are just around the corner.

I thought the 7's are coming out this fall but if its only next year, then what I may do is look at a Samsung Galaxy (7?) instead. What I want to do though is make sure that it runs everything I currently run on my iPhone (especially itunes) before I make the plunge.

How old is your phone? If its more than a few years, go check out the new ones. They're sweet!
