Default I-Phone

what is different about the I-Phone 5 compared to the 4s, is it worth the extra $150 difference in the price

From what I was told if you have a 4s there is not much noticeable difference except for screen size

Sales rep told me same thing, size of display larger than 4S, and not much better on speed. So I upgraded to 4S and kept da money in my pocket. Very satisfied.

The iPhone 5 has a better processor and is LTE capable. If you live in an area where LTE is available it's quite a step up in speed. To me the extra money the 5 costs over the 4S is well worth it for a phone you'll have almost two years.

My WiFi at home can't touch Verizon's LTE around Lake Charles.

I prefer android out of the two, but there's nothing wrong with an iPhone. I'm not very trusting of Google either.

I switched from a 4 to a 5 at the beginning of the year. Overall I am happy with the upgrade. My only complaint is the battery on the 5 doesn't last as long as I expected it would. On my 4 I could get two to three days per charge and now I am charging the 5 every other day with normal usage, but it seems on the weekend I have to charge it daily when I spend more time using it.

If you're charging your phone every other day that's much better than most are doing.

well talked to att and verizon last night, i will probably be switching to verizon and the ihone 5, will go with the 5 cause some b-day money helps cushion the difference in phone cost, i will know for sure if verizon is better than att after i get out on the water or in the woods

I switched to Verizon because that's what my company runs, not long after my wife switched too. Sooooo much better on all fronts - much faster net speed, no dropped calls, calls actually come through...

I'll never go back.

Plus the iPhone is a workhorse, I spend the entire day working and playing and streaming music and in two years have never had an issue. Doesn't freeze, rarely lags when multitasking, I wish everything utility/tool in life would work as smoothly and consistently as an iPhone!!

The only negative with the Verizon iPhone 5 is that it won't do voice and data at the same time on 3G or 4G. That's not a big deal to me but for some it is.

Apple left out the antenna that is necessary to keep the phone as thin as possible.

Correct. Some Verizon phones can do that on 3G, all of them can do it on 4G except the iPhone.
