Sometimes I pull out my cell phone to capture a shot, either to take advantage of the depth of field, to capture a simple panorama with no extra steps, to use a fish eye or macro lens in my pocket, or simply to record a place, thing or moment conveniently without having to get out a DSLR.
My iPhone 5S has been close to full for months now, so I can either clear out many of the images and videos, or I can (delete them all and) trade up to an iPhone 6+. I've been very impressed with the photos I've taken on +Lori Hibbett 's 6+, but I'm close enough now though to whatever might come out from Apple in the Fall, either a 6S or 7, that the other possibility is waiting for something even better.

Yes and there is always a new one coming up no matter what platform you use.
I'd wait. It would be the best idea. And doing so would save you money.
any post processing apps used?
Fantastic view
+Minal C. Very little. I used Adobe Lightroom to save a lower resolution copy, and I may have adjusted the contrast a bit.
Galaxy S6 and never look back!
Good
How did you achieve the background blur / bokeh effect
Wait for the 7!
Is it just me? I have trouble focusing on the thing that's actually "in focus" as a result of that attempt at bokeh. It seems to make background objects more pronounced, not less. Might work for some artistic styling.
+Jeff Sullivan like auto backup on g+ a program called copy gives you 15 gigs free. I use it and it auto uploads every image I take. It's a redundant back up to g+ but it's full size and also free.
Great to help with your storage problem.
Jeff !witam co to za roślina. Wygląda jak coś z innej planety.
+Michael Bennett Unfortunately +Verizon Wireless charges $10/GB over my low volume monthly data quota, and does not carry forward any extra capacity as others are advertising, so your recommendation could cost me $130 in data in the first month, even for "free" storage. I lost my original plan with unlimited data, so I may switch to +Sprint when I upgrade my phone.
+Cliff Bramlett When I try to focus on something close, my old iPhone 5S definitely tries to "outsmart" me and focus quickly on something else a little further away. For macro shots when using the +olloclip macro lenses, using their app seems to help lock in focus much better, but I think you lose HDR, so there's a tradeoff.
I remember for this bristlecone image I had to take it several times to get the center "bristle" in focus, partly because with this little depth of field, even small movements in the phone or branch/cone quickly moved it out of the sharp portion of the depth of field.
+James North My son recently bought the +Samsung Mobile USA S5 and it's nice that it sold in high enough volumes that you can get accessories like +olloclip lenses for it. I haven't tried the S6 yet.
As a huge +Google fan, my first modern smartphone (after a PalmPilot PDA and Treo 650 phone) was a Droid, but my carrier dropped support for new versions of the operating system shortly after I bought it, and WAY before my 2 year contact expired. It made a great paperweight for the last year or more of my contract, but I couldn't run current apps. So Apple's greater control of its hardware and OS updates, whether through higher volumes and better relationships with carriers or through better contracts with carriers, became my #1 criteria for selecting a handset. The camera is a close second.
The latest +Nexus is very highly regarded as well in head to head comparisons for the camera, but the price is way up there, and finding hardware accessories like external lenses will be a concern until it hits tens of millions of units shipped. A documented commitment to OS updates for the 2 year contract life of the handset would be necessary before i'd buy any non-Apple phone ever again, but if any company has the resources to make that happen, Google does, if it's truly committed to giving Apple a run for its money with +Android. All aspects of the hardware – OS – app system need to be current for any compute platform to retain value.
+martyn brough I placed the foreground subject as close as the camera could possibly focus, and it was having trouble locking on it at that distance of about 2 to 3 inches. That was close enough that objects like the tree another 15 to 20 feet away were very much out of focus.
Great work………………..
