iPhone 5? Upgrade or no

[RyanbabZ71]

I currently have a 4 that is over 2 yrs old I like it except battery life as of late has sucked. Worth upgrading to the 5? Not interested in any other phones. Thx

Say you have a banana, you like this banana and it has been great, consistent color, great taste, and just the right size, as you are enjoying this banana, you notice an advertisement for a new and improved banana that is has been discovered in a remote location that is even better! Sound's great and your old boring banana isn't cutting it anymore so you decide to wait until that new banana comes into market and rush to be one of the first to get one. In the rush and rage, you get your new banana and run home to avoid and intrusions that might heckle you from your new found banana. As you finally get it home and inspect that banana, you notice it is just a tad bit smaller, nothing too worry about, it's new and improved, color looks the same healthy yellow, good sign as it is still a "new and improved" banana, as you begin to enjoy your new found glory, you notice that this is just a damn banana that tastes the same and feel no noticeable difference. Few days later you find out that the banana you paid and extra $7.95 for is actually no different from your old banana, as scientist discover. Feeling as though you have been had, you continue to buy these banana's as they come about year after year only to be let down by the same crooks selling you these super banana's. Moral of the story is, stop buying banana's lol.

I'm happy with it. LTE data connection rocks with how much faster it is. Also handy that it works overseas when my iPhone 4 did not because Verizon didn't use SIM cards in those.

I had a 4 and sold it when I got the 5. The 5 is lighter and thinner. I do like the speed of the LTE, when I can get it. Battery life isn't much different. I read that the 5 will use more battery juice when trying to find an LTE/3G signal. I work in a building where most times I don't have a signal so my battery life shorter than I would like. I bought a Mophie Juice Pack Air so that I can have full charge on reserve if I need it. I'm not sure what the 5s will have over the 5 but if those upgrades don't mean much to you, then go with the 5. The 5 should drop in price when the 5s comes out too.

Price wise its only $50 more than a 4s so its not bad. Battery life is getting bad (think its just wore out). From 7am-4pm today it used 93% and I wasnt even on it much.

Lol mines plugged in all day almost Hahahah

I can get through a full day of use, mostly browsing and crap. I'm not much for games but that might suck it down quicker.

[Prokopchuk_9]

I don't play games, 4-5 forums, Facebook and texting 876628994884 people all day LOL

I don't have one, but the Wife does. She texts a lot, and is on Facebook some, but I think she usually gets about 2 days out of her battery before she has to charge it.

I got the Droid Razr Maxx currently, upgrade isn't till October. So, by then the 5s should be out.
I'm definitely getting an iPhone this time.

[blackout07]

I have a 5. The Battery sucks with very moderate use. It's a good phone but nothing special.

[lhjanzen]

Got one for Christmas. If it were up to me, I would of stuck it out with my 4s. Otherwise, it's still a great phone, LTE is bullet fast.

I have an upgrade coming in June but if it wasn't for the screen lock/power button taking a shit on 3 year old 4, I'd just keep it. I bought my gf a 4S for her birthday last fall and notice next to 0 difference between her phone and mine. My battery has to be charged twice a day but I'm on mine nearly non stop all day. I thought about going with a 5 but in my experience, LTE isn't fast enough to offset the amount of data use age that it burns up. Plus, they finally got us a wifi router at work that is off network so we can use it for personal devices. Interesting to hear about a 5s already in the works. Curious as to what's up with that. I will never go back to an android based phone anytime soon though. That much I do know.
