Also I don't want my new phone to be subject to rough use and I will be mollycoddling it for a bit, and the old iPhone 5 in its protective case seems pretty robust as it is. Yes - but I bought this phone for a reason didn't I? Yes, because it was there and I wanted to catch the winter sale and it looks very nice indeed. I will eventually get onto it full time I think.
I will need to buy a case for it though (the 7 I mean). It's very vulnerable as it is all naked and also a target for theft. The 5 is not really worth much but works quite well still.
Regarding Face recognition, I don't think the iPhone 7 does that and I am not that advanced. I'm quite happy with a basic model at the moment.
Thanks for all comments and hints and tips. Most useful.

I use a humixx case for my current phone.
It makes the phone thicker, which is useful since the phone is so thin that I have difficulty picking it up from a desk/table-top. It also removes the metal feel of the phone itself, which I also appreciate.
There are about 2 million cases available from Amazon. Which is both good and bad news.

I'm still using my iPhone 5s with cracked glass for work and I'll keep it that way for now I think. This new one will be for everything else once I get a decent case for it - but finding the right one is a bit of a gamble too ..

And after your advice, instead I have ordered the iPhone 7 32GB in rose gold, and that has been paid for this evening and it should arrive tomorrow. I expect the refund for the other one by the end of this month.
I didn't even open the packet to look at the 6s+ ..

It will be a bit of a step up from my 5s which as mentioned has a cracked screen, but still soldiers on quite well with Sellotape on top.
But as it is also bigger and with rounded edges, I will definitely need a new protective case for it.

If I were to replace it, giffgaff have a winter clearance scale sale on iPhones. I've got a 5s 16GB with a cracked screen and it's fine but I could buy an iPhone 6 or 6s or 6+ (or SE?)
Are they a big improvement on the 5s? Then of course I could go and splash a bit more and get a 7 or 7+
Or higher of course but I think a 6s would be fine probably - I wouldn't need anything super fancy and I don't want to spend an awful lot of money on it.
I think I would need more than 16 GB, maybe 32 would be okay or do I need 64? I don't take a lot of movies or pictures.
Any of these appeal to anybody?
Value for money recommendations?
I don't think I need a super whizzy latest model.
