I agree with others that say there's no point in waiting. The most value you get out of a device is the value of use. You can't use something you don't have.
I was trying to be funny because every 6 months they claim to come out with the "latest and greatest" model. So by iphone 50 they should have the bugs worked out.

Buy an actual camera if you are going to Alaska.

Buy it now and practice taking photos with it. One thing that will help with taking photos is to remember to have the light on your back. In other words, a bright background (behind the subject) sort of blinds the camera. If not using the flash, don't shoot against the light. But taking a photo against the light can work very nicely if you can illuminate the subject with the flash.

Truth be told some of my best pictures were taken with a fixed lens camera. These days that would be my iPhone 6. Practice and remember that composition is what makes a great picture. But you already knew that.

If anyone's still reading this thread: I've had my iPhone 6s Plus since November 23rd, 2015. I love it! The pics and videos are good quality, and everything else about the phone makes it worth the $280 CAD a month that DH and I pay. (He has an iPhone 6s.) We share a 15 GB monthly data plan and our phones are both 128 GB models.

I also have a nice array of pro cameras, but unless I'm going out on a shoot, I find my phone convenient for snapshots. The iPhone pic quality is better than most cameras could deliver a decade ago, so I'm both impressed and thrilled with mine.

I find I spend about a quarter of the time I used to spend on my laptop, now that I own a smartphone.

Update: I bought the 6s a few weeks ago and love it! I'm just hoping the 7 won't have a drastic camera change.

Of course it will. You can't always wait for the next great phone...you'll never buy one.

Apple's 'iPhone 7 Plus' to sport dual-camera iSight array built on LinX imaging technology

Well this makes me feel better...not. The camera is one of the top features I look at in buying phones.

Are you happy with the 6s camera? If the answer is yes, don't sweat it. Either that or buy a new phone every year.
