My 5.. battery is draining faster, apps have to be started, are slow to load. I've done the cache cleanup and everything under the sun. Might see what the 7 costs in a week or two when they announce the 8.. usually previous inventory is marked down.

I miss the formfactor of the 5 so much. Perfect size and symmetrical bezels. The rounded corners were comfortable in the palm.

Thankfully the rounded corners are returning but the phone is still too big IMO. They need to get to at least 6.1".

I have the 6a as I needed to replace the 5 due to a screen issue and it was cheaper to replace the phone than the screen.
