Apple iPhone 4S vs iPhone 5, worth the upgrade?

That’s it?

An error on the connector part. Must be interchanged.

typo. iphone 4s 30 pin. iphone 5 lightning. :)

the “connector part” appears to be wrong. iPhone 4s for 30-pin and iPhone 5 for lightning.

” Apple has released its another best iPhone so far ”

Awkward. Edit this out in the article. Seriously.

Nope. I was disappointed. I want to see something that wasn’t there yet from any Android phones. This will be the best time to get 4S, incase you haven’t had one yet, Expect 4S prices to go down once 5 is available. I still prefer 4S and I’d rather wait for the next iPhone. :-)

“a 3.5″ is just the perfect screen size of a smart phone. anything greater than that is just a complete waste”

whoever said that or to that extent must be eating his own words by now.

apple now plays the catch-up game.

screen size, lte, panorama..

next year would be nfc, burst shot and a lot more

well, I’m going for the ipod touch… sana ma hack na agad so it could be tether thru bluetooth using a blackberry…

If you’re too much into customization and hacking the phone, then no –> go to Android.

But if you’re more into functionality, simplicity, reliability, and just works, then yes — worth the upgrade. After all, it’s a different form factor, unlike from iP4 to 4S.

if you’re a sheep, yes.

This completely sums up the apple fanboy mentality :

With such great phones out in the market, this is such an insult if one actually buys it. Heck it be crazy even to tolerate Apple if one even buys this for an upgrade from current iPhone 4 or 4S. Might as well wait for iPhone 9, maybe 3 more rows of icons will be added. Geez.

Apple iPhone5: 4 inch screen? LTE? Overhype. Still expensive

STAYING WITH ANDROID 8-)

Some say that the best thing about the iPhone 5 is the battery life, but to me its still a disappointment. Maybe I’ll wait for the next iPhone when they’ve really improved the battery life given it has LTE capabilities and retina display.

If you are loyal apple fan, its depends to you if you want to upgrade to the newest smartphone, even the iPhone 5 is the latest line in Apple smartphone they consider that the user can use of all the features of it. Even though some people says that this latest smartphone of Apple is not so high-tech is some features they consider that the people who will able to use it can use it all.

There’s nothing new here.

4″ screen? A LOT of phones with AMOLED, Bravia, IPS-LCD have done it.

Panorama? Matagal na sa Sony yan. 3D Sweep Panorama, that is.

Thinnest? The Motorola Razr is still the thinnest smartphone, with 7.1mm at its thinnest part.

There’s nothing revolutionary here.

Now to answer your question, I don’t think so. I might as well stick to my iPhone 4S.

great. aside from the .5″ added and couple of hours of batt life, i won’t be missing much if i don’t get the iphone 5. i’ll be lurking around TCP waiting for people to sell their 4s for a really good deal and get it. Make it my backup for my nexus.

yobong. 4s pang backup lang. LOL so much for innovation, Apple.

somebody should sue apple for the 4″ screen !!!

For me its worth the upgrade and for those who don’t own an iphone, now is the time to own one.

Here are my reasons:

1. front camera is now 1.2MP, super clear facetime and skype calls for me

2. 1GB RAM means i’ll be able to use more apps/features(multitasking)

3. larger screen means less stress for my eyes

4. LTE for super fast mobile internet, this will benefit me coz i use video calls a lot

don’t upgrade if you’ll just use it for emails, facebook and twitter

Yes. I believe it is worth it to upgrade to the iPhone 5, regardless if you’re coming from the 1st generation of iPhone or the 4S. I don’t think Apple could have done a better job at making the new iPhone. It has twice as much of power and speed than the 4S (and please take note, the 4S is a still a very, very fast and powerful device). They also succeeded in improving what is arguably the best 8MP camera on a phone there is (the one in the 4S). In terms of the screen, retina levels (ppi) remain the same despite the slightly bigger screen. They did not opt to add more width to the device so going 4 inches diagonally (in screen size) is pretty much the max that they could go before it would look “weird”. Overall, it may be what people expected it to be in the end but isn’t that a good thing? I mean, people were buzzing that the new iPhone’s gonna be like this or that and now that it is exactly what they wanted it to be in the first place, they suddenly don’t like it? I just find it funny. :)

I’m not siding with Apple on this, but this is just my opinion. I’m not even an iPhone user. I have the Samsung Galaxy Note and Lenovo P700 – both great devices that I love having and using. :)

My iPhone 3GS post-paid plan contract with Globe will end this coming October. I think the iPhone 5 is a reasonable upgrade. :-)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

Iphone 5, The Frankenstein. The chips are made by samsung, Battery by LG & Screen by Sharp.

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 :)

..waiting for the holographic version…. XD
