These are all good points ... I'll just add that a weak battery can be fixed much more cheaply with something like a Mophie battery/case than paying for a new phone.
I can't remember for certain when NFC was added to iPhones, seems like it was the 6S models, so I would upgrade if I had a phone without nfc just to have ApplePay, which is a great convenience to the VI user when available.

I had had the 6 for 3 years. It still worked fine, but it seemed that I was getting less battery life, probably due to time and repeated charging. I also noticed that after updating to IOS 11, the phone ran noticably slower. I chose the 8 because I liked the form factor, and I wanted the home button. The 8 runs much faster. I didn't want the X because i didn't want a larger phone, and I wanted the home button.
