Price doesn't bother me; On contract, due for upgrade.

Only thing that could sway me is a genuinely compact smartphone that's ergonomically designed for one handed use. None exist (that are any good).

Nothing announced, the 7 is a stunner. But I'd wait if you can.

Lightly double tap the home button; makes it easier reach.

Pain the **** though; safari should really have the address bar the bottom.

It's incredible how long they support devices for, other manufacturers need to up their game.

The other massive kick in the butt for Android was adoption of the latest version. iPhone developers get to use the latest OS features on over 70% possibly 90% of Apple devices, Android 7%, no wonder they don't bother.
