@justme i know but im getting bored with android had 4 years with their phones i need new fresh os. So im thinking of getting apple with iPhone 4s or 5 . I have 275 i can get either or on two year contract.

@sean thanks

If you have the money to buy the newest iPhone with more features and LTE, why even consider the 4S? You'd essentially be shooting yourself in the foot with value, and if you're someone who keeps phones for a long time, the 4S is going to be obsolete much quicker. Again, as far as which is best for you, obviously this comes down to what you see value in...i can't stand enormous screens or cheap plastic outer components, i also prefer the iOS environment and have a lot invested in apps...the iPhone is best for me, but might not be for the next guy. It's foolish to base your decision on what someone else likes...If i did that in 2007 I'd have waited for the Blackberry Storm instead of buying the iPhone, and i would have hated myself for it.

I sold my 4s and got the 5. Already has a spot where the finish is coming off and only had a week and 2 days. 4s is very solid and has a sold feel, 5 does not feel that sturdy. Still within my 15 days and thinking seriously about taking 5 back and getting another 4s. Feel I could carry the 4s naked and would not dare do so with the 5.Just my opinion as an owner and user of both.

I can't even fathom how someone would make the decision based on gaming apps (or lack there of) between the top end Android devices and the iPhone 5, but to each their own i suppose. What games are not available on the Android that are detrimental to you avoiding one over the iPhone? (honestly curious)

As far as not caring about LTE...given that is one of the major draws of the iPhone 5 and one of the major differences between it and the 4S, the 4S could still be a good option for you, but I'm a bit confused on your logic as far as decision making between them so I'll just leave it at that.

Buy the one you like the most.

Yeah bro I do. I had PSP and now iOS have better gaming if it wasn't for developer having as much 150 different android it would be easy to port to forget one android to the other.
I don't want mod my phone to change system on chip just to get a game playing or w.e. apple as much I hated them I want to jump the move since2009 and didn't now I will. Android physical keyboard stop from doing it. Not anymore

If you want the iphone 5 this will be the main reason:

6 reason

It have 3.0 usb cable instead of apple dedicated one
It slightly faster 1.3 ghz dual core instead of 1.0 ghz apple mention 1 just underclock at 800 mhz like wikipedia mention
slighty bigger screen 4 inches
aluminum back
higher resolution under hd display not by much 1136x640= hd display is 1280x720 compare to iph4s with 960x640
1gb of ram over 512 mb iphone 4s

Some feature that the iphone 4s wont run, unless you jailbreak.
Because apple like putting gimmick feature to make it different from the last iphone

Everything else the 4s is the same

Im waiting for my iphone 4s from fedex today.

Reason why you should get iphone 4s instead:

the price on 2 years is cheaper.
still get the latest from apple ios.
gaming on gpu is the same as iphone 5 with power vr chip 543
Great support from the app store
It smaller and light easy to put any cases.
dual core
329 ppi higher then iphone 5,
326 ppi and higher then all android phones on ppi .
Accept on htc rezound (nov 2011) 335 ppi
Droid dna (nov 2012) with 440 ppi

if you were looking to upgrade from a 4s i would say stay with it. if you were buying all new apple stuff i would say get the 5. only issue i see having the 5 if you have other apple devices around like ipods and such is the new lightning connector.
