Apple iPhone 5 vs iPhone 4S: Spec showdown
A new year, a new iPhone. Apple announced today the latest version of it’s best-selling handset, the iPhone 5. As expected, the device features a number of updates, most notably a larger, 4-inch display, LTE connectivity, a better camera, and an updated A6 system-on-chip, and the new “Lighting” dock connector. So, is it worth throwing down a few hard-earned Benjamins to upgrade from the iPhone 4S to the iPhone 5? Check out our spec comparison chart below to find out.
What it means: If you have the money, we encourage you to go for the iPhone 5, though please note that we haven’t actually used it yet. The new iPhone is capable of 4G LTE connection speeds (assuming you’re in an area with coverage), which will make your phone connection as fast, if not faster, than your home Wi-Fi — yeah, it’s that fast. Verizon’s LTE network is the most robust, but AT&T and Sprint are building their networks quickly to compete. In the next two years, you should be able to take advantage of 4G LTE, assuming you don’t live in the middle of the woods. The iPhone 5s cameras are also improved from the 4S and it is made of less, and more durable, glass. The screen is also larger and the phone is thinner and lighter than its predecessor. However, the iPhone 4S has one big advantage: it only costs $100. If you’re on a budget, it may be the way to go.
