iPhone 5 vs iPhone 4S

[CindysGusGus]

I chose the 4s and am pleased with my choice...my main reasoning besides cost was the lightning adapter. We have 4 iPhones and an iPod in our family along with a dock and I was not reading good things about the adapter for the lightening pin...I would not be able to use my families chargers in a pinch or the external battery that I use for long trips. BTW...my 4s has 4G so I'm not sure if that is a server thing.

I have a the 4S and I have a friend that has the 5.
I do like that the 5 has a larger screen and is lighter but that comes as a trade of in that the 5 feels more "cheaper and plastic" compared to my 4S. I'm like another poster and prefer the feel of my 4S over the 5.

Another thing to consider, is if you really want one and can hold out, the 5S or 6 will be out later this year.

Thanks for any advice!

I just had the exact same issue on my 4. It was so weird the button would freeze, then my music would come on automatically and then the voice recognition lady would start saying music already playing. I was creepy.

I upgraded to the 5 and I love it, the screen is bigger and clearer. Camera has this panoramic feature that is pretty cool. Its longer but skinnier.
I got the white one and I really like it.

I lurve my iPhone 5

I'd definitely avoid Android devices... up to 41% of Android apps have security flaws, quite a few of them serious. If you DO have an Android device, I can only recommend upgrading the system to Ubuntu asap!

Is there an overriding reason to switch from your Android to an Apple? Do you have much of an investment in apps? Here is a recent thread on cell phones...

The Galaxy S III, (soon to be released S IV), is a stunning device. Give it a look.

I still don't know if I am going to switch. There really isn't anything that WOWs me about Android, but there also isn't anything I totally hate about it. The same goes for the Apple products that I do have or use. I

I did narrow down my options for phones to the 4S, 5 and then the Galaxy S III.

one thing that u may want to consider is moving ecosystems... if your LG is already an android phone(Im guessing) ur apps should all be transferable...

so if you switch over to an iPhone, u have to repurchase all your apps all over again...

this was a huge factor for me as i have around $500 worth of apps in the iPhone app store... moving over to an S3 would have been a bigger cost for me.

While I do have a good amount of apps on my LG, I am pretty sure 99% of them were free ones.
