How many of U chose 4s over the 5

[brdl04]

I find it funny the things that people "convince" themselves of when they want to. I'm pretty sure everyone on this site that has a 4s would have reached for the 5 if it was in their control. It's human nature, it's also human nature to rationalize everything so that all decisions, etc. fit into a nice neat little box. The 4S is a great device, but it's definitely no iPhone 5. Halfway through the upgrade cycle, I could understand waiting for the 5S but seriously to buy a 4S at this date and time, for any other reason than economical, your just kidding yourself.

Still making your preference universal. I know many people who would prefer a 4s over a 5 if both were free. My wife being one. I know it's hard to wrap your mind around the fact that some people don't like the iPhone 5 for aesthetic reasons.

Aside from the larger screen and LTE the 4s and the 5 are the same phones. Admit it people. I've got both and fail to see huge differences. I continue with my 5 because of my need for the latest tech. But I constantly encourage the 4s. Save your money. We don't have LTE where I live and the screen differences aren't worth the extra $100.

I have an iP5 and I gave my iP4s to my mom. Well I guess I just miss my old phone. 5 is really good and 4s as well. I'm so confused. hahahaha

Love the 4s, the 5 is a bit more awkward one handed, but for the bigger screen, LTE and the weight savings I will live with it.

I've never been a big fan of Apple but two days ago I bought my first iPhone. Just want to try it and see what all the fuzz is about. I come from a BlackBerry Bold 9900 so the bigger screen is definately appreciated. I chose the 4S. Here in Denmark contracts only runs 6 months so if I'm converted I can always upgrade later and I actually like the design way better on the 4/4S than on the 5.

A few thing made me choose the 4S over the 5.

- I like the design better
- I like it's heavier
- Don't really need the things the 5 offers over the 4S
- Not an Apple fan so I didn't want to pay more than neccesary

I like reading replies like yours because it displays 'your' preferences in an unbiased manner. Thank you...

I don't know what to do!

been an iPhone user forever! (Had the 3 and 3g.. then finally upgraded to the 4S).. 2 weeks ago I actually upgraded and got the Samsung galaxy note 2.. and before my 2 weeks were up.. I felt like there was something missing (the phone was awesome don't get me wrong).. but I don't know what it was.. i returned it and am back to my 4S.. but still feel like something is missing.. I don't know if I should upgrade to the 5 or just wait for the iPhone 5s possibly 6? (or whatever rumors are out there)..

I think I'm just getting bored with my iPhone? but then the Note 2 was really too fancy.. lol I can't make up my mind. *sigh* someone help.. lol

Just wait for the 5S. It should be coming soon. I has the Note 2 for a while and I really liked the big screen and it was really fast, but in the end it really didn't donor for me. My iPhone 5 on the other hand has been awesome. No complaints whatsoever.

LTE is so much faster than the basically unusable 3g that SE Michigan has(0.4mbps average).

Why would you ever give up 4G LTE?

 

[androidluvr2]

Aside from the larger screen and LTE

The larger screen and the LTE are huge differences IMO.

 

[Terrigno]

I had the 4s. Then the 5. Now back to the 4S. It's just a better phone to me.

 

[michaelpri]

Better for what reasons?
Would you buy the 4s over the 5 today for a two year contract?

 

[kataran]

my first experience with an iphone was a 40 dollar 3 I got off a friend and had it unlocked for my mom...it didn't impress me at all but I have to say the five is growing on me

my girlfriends four that I got at the same time as my five feels heavy to me....I guess its what's your use too that matters

LTE is the real reason I didn't get the free iPhone 4 and glad I didn't .....can't speak about the 4s as I never used one

 

[michaelpri]

Terrigno-

why do you think that the 4s is a better phone than the 5. Will it be relevant 2 years from now as well?

 

[anon(4698833)]

LTE alone makes the iPhone 5 far and away a better phone than any of the previous iPhones to me. If i started thinking about the other features, it'd just steadily keep growing further and further away from the previous gens. The 4S is a really nice phone though, i still have one as a work phone...

 

[Jrome.brooks]

The 4s is too solid of a device but a jailbroken 5 best phone ever

Why stick with a 3g phone when technology has advanced to 4G LTE devices? It would be just a matter of time before you'd move on anyway. Keep the iPhone 5.

 

[annaharris]

No, I will choose iPhone 5 over iPhone 4s. Because iPhone 5 is more faster and better then iPhone 4s...

 

[CPStapes]

I did, but it was a question of money. Needed 2 phones, one for me and one for my wife, and we just couldn't swing the 5 right now. 4s is an excellent phone, but that doesn't mean I'm not hoping I'll be economically able to get a 6 when my contract is up next!
