Anyone got one? Can't decide wether to get it or not. Iv got iPhone 4, is the 5 different enough to warrant the upgrade cost.

I've got a 4s and I love it. The only floor with the 4s is the very poor battery life, if that is sorted with 5 then it's a bonus. I think they say its got faster Internet too but that won't work until the 4G comes in, though since I updated to iOS 6 the wap/3G runs as quick as I need it to. Only other noticeable difference is there's now a speaker on the top of the phone where the 4S only has two at the bottom.

In saying that is it worth paying an extra £xx amount per month, when the 4s is probably a hell of a lot cheaper and very similar. If your a techy and you need the latest stuff then the 5 will appeal more, if not the 4S is cracking too.

It's a bit like a new Rovers kit, do you need the new strip or with it being very similar to last seasons, is it worth the extra expenditure? :lol:

I've got one. It's just the same really, just a bigger screen. I had to have it though.

4G will be brilliant, but it will come at a price, around an extra £5 a month.

Never quite understood that mentality.... I'd rather go away for a week!

I've been told by someone who works with o2 and specializes in refurbishing damaged iPhones to restock them as brand new, that with new material (to make it more lightweight) despite being bigger it is so much more fragile and so is the screen. From my own play with one a couple of weeks back there is nothing new that makes it stand out and doesn't even go toe to toe with the Samsung Galaxy SIII


Personally I'm waiting for my contract to run out before upgrading from a Windows Phone and as I like big screens I have no competitor for the Samsung Galaxy Note.
