Apple has released its best iPhone ever — the iPhone 5. Obviously, it has a more attractive build and beefed up specs. But how is it totally different from its predecessor the iPhone 4S? Let’s find out by pitting the specs against each other.
As you can see, the iPhone 5 is taller, thinner and lighter than the iPhone 4S. But the size of the iPhone 4S can be an advantage for those who prefer a shorter device. The same goes with the display but most would probably opt for the iPhone 5’s 4-inch.
To round it up, the iPhone 5 has twice the RAM, twice the CPU clock speed, longer battery life, more camera features, better front-facing camera, faster download speeds, smaller semiconductor size and smaller but better Lightning connector.
What do you guys think? Are these the upgrades you’re looking or something better?
..waiting for the holographic version…. XD
Whatever phone you choose for an upgrade, just make sure that you have the money to splurge and the brain to use so you ciuld maximize the fearures. Sayang naman kung naka note II, sgs3 or ip5 ka pero for txting and calling mo lang ginagamit ang phone mo ^^
ok sabi mo ehh
i installed ios6 GM in my 4s,, i dont see any reason why I should buy the new phone except for the design and screen plus the a6 processor. all is there on my 4s ios6, panorama is also there. but i want the black ip5 :)
@nix:
Really? May panorama rin sa iPhone 4S? Haha! So talagang medyo pointless mag-upgrade?
By the way, yeah the black iPhone 5 looks good. Kaso black na yung iPhone 4S ko eh, so parang gusto ko naman yung white this time (if ever mang mag-upgrade ako.)
Sayo, anong kulay ng 4S mo?
sir pwedeng mag tanong?? pano gamitin ang panorama sa iphone4s? ehe d kase ako masyadong familiar sa panorama ng iphone4s kaka update ko lang ng ios 6
siguro kaya sila nagagalit dahil gusto nila inform yung public about better options, not to blindly follow whats trending, maybe they just want you to choose wisely, or on what they think is a greater buy.. i know cos that’s what i think, pero di naman ako galit sa iphone5, yung mga afford naman buy lang nang buy, wala namang problema dun :)
Iphone 5, The Frankenstein. The chips are made by samsung, Battery by LG & Screen by Sharp.
Sa palagay ko mas nakabubuti kung ang bibilhin mong telepono ay naaangkop sa kakayahang intelektuwal. Sayang naman ang kakayahan ng teleppono kung di mo ito mapapakinabanangan lahat at kayang gamitin. Tulad halimbawa ng tinatawag na apperture sa camera ng bagong iphone, alam ba natin kung ano ito? Ang 802.11 a/b/g/n, para saan ba ito?
Pero kung nais mo talaga, bumili kayo.. Yan naman ay pagrespeto lang sa kagustuhan nyo.
Mga utak pulboron na pala ang mga bagong henerasyon na pinoy,puro kayo mga reklamador,insecure,the article is asking if it`s worth the upgrade?Kung gusto mo at my pambili ka di go for it,it`s a matter of choice preferences(Kitnayu kitdi).
bakit ba kayo nagagalit sa mga may gusto ng iphone? may nagagalit ba sa inyo kung gusto niyo ng ibang brand? kakatawa naman kayo. mga pinoy talaga tsk tsk.
I’m an iPhone 4S user and I love my phone. I’m not going to upgrade to the iPhone 5 though. And really? We’re talking about getting an iPhone because it’s a status symbol? It’s hardly one nowadays when a LOT of people have iPhones and probably just like it for what it does and not think about showing off. Granted it is at the top of the heap in terms of price but not outrageously above other brands’s flagships.
If you are more into the specs and flexibility, go for an s3. If you are pasosyal, a social-climber club member or the one who can really afford? Then by all means get an ip5! Go! Lol
Okay lang naman talaga bumili ng iPhone because of brand loyalty. Huwag na sana ipilit ang mga baluktot na hirit kesho design is unparalleled o ecosystem is great or I have money to burn. Tunog tanga lang ang dating.
In the end, the iPhone 5 really is not worth the hype and the selling price. Talo na sa specs, hindi pa price competitive. Apple is not really raking awards in design either. Nokia is.
That is just the truth. So iTards, huwag magalit sa katotohanan.
Mayaman din ako. I do have the money to burn. Pero I have the brain not to burn that money.
It’s a better decision for iPhone 4 users to upgrade to iPhone 5. For iPhone 4s user: better wait for the iPhone 5s or 6. After all, it’s the iOS 6 that matters, which will be available to most iPhones.
A6 chip has no huge difference to A5 chip (iPhone 4s), better upgrade your old A4 chip (iPhone 4) to maximize the wonders of the new OS.
Sana naman magisipisip na ng apple na iunlock all the old iphones tolal wala naman na sila pakinabang sa luma eh di give away nalang sana ang unlock. and one thing more the only purpose of being have a phone is more on txt and call and internet, there are many more camera more tha that of the iphone 5.
for me, i’m not that satisfied with the improvements except for its camera and. i just really hope that it can really take better shots at night against my reliable xperia neo phone as my backup cphone camera at night. but as for market value-wise, i’ll upgrade because yes i’ll buy a diff brand but i can only resell it almost half the price in less than six months time unlike iphone.
I think it’s a worthy upgrade. Definitely worthier than from 4 to 4s. My contract will expire this May and I would definitely get the Iphone5. I think for 90% or more of the people who get the iphone they get it because it’s an iphone. Not about specs. My wife, mom and almost all my uncles, aunts doesn’t even have the slightest idea what dual-core processor, LTE, retina even size of the screen or what an app is yet all are using iphones. It’s like getting a car. You don’t buy a Mercedes or BMW for specs or practicality. You buy them for being a Mercedes or BMW.
It’s worth it to upgrade to iPhone 5 or to stick to iPhone 4S. The important is the features of this can provide the daily activity of people who using it.
My iPhone 3GS post-paid plan contract with Globe will end this coming October. I think the iPhone 5 is a reasonable upgrade. :-)
