Should i update

[RoccoI]

I'm running 5.1.1 currently, should I updated to 6.1.3?
I'm afraid it will slow down my phone.

Can somebody who has updated let me know how it's running and if it's worth it.

Thanks

iOS 6 doesn't make the iPhone 3GS any slower or more difficult to use than it was before, which should be good news to anyone who keeps theirs around as a secondary or backup phone indeed, it's pleasantly surprising how many of the refinements and improvements make their way down to Apple's oldest-supported piece of iOS hardware. However, that hardware has been surpassed so thoroughly by other iOS and Android handsets at this point that it's difficult to recommend it as a primary handset. You don't have much to lose if you upgrade a 3GS to iOS 6, but there's a lot more to gain by investing in a newer device.

Upgrading to a newer device in September.
