You would probably notice a bit of a difference between the two in terms of battery life, favoring the 5.
Siri is identical between the two devices.

Is the battery life on the five better than the 4S? Also, is Siri really better?
Siri is the same, its the iOS version that updated siri not the phone.
Also there is a very large difference between the 4s and the 5. The 5 is similar to or better then the battery life on my old 4.
having had both the 4 and 4s, I can't tell a difference in batt life to any substantial degree
result - Iphone 4s better
The 5 is way better i think there is a huge difference in speed & i owned both
iPhone 4S vs 5
Overall better technology. Sadly to say nothing significantly new with software. I sincerely believe Apple needs some fresh ideas for iOS

LTE is the killer feature for the 1% of the time you need it, and for the other 99% of the time, you can turn it off, and probably get much better battery life than the 4S.
battery of iPhone 4 is better than 5......
Not in my case. I get a little better battery life then my old 4 with LTE on and brightness up higher with a bigger screen

Im sure Apple knows iOS 7 has to be a big update. I dont see them completly changing iOS but there will defitnetly be alot of tweaks. Improvements in notifications , multi tasking and others
The whole "you can bend it into the shape of a U" thing bothers me with the iPhone 5.
Then again, the whole "better prepare for a long surgery" threat if I break my 4S screen also scares me.
I'd like a hybrid iPhone 5/4S, with a little extra:
- Same shape as the iPhone 5, but with a thicker, firmer build of the 4S. I don't mind the weight of the 4S.
- Same "front comes off" style of the iPhone 5. Keep the metal back. I'd rather have scratched up back than a shattered back.
To top it off:
- Same internals of the 5, but as *thick* as the 4S. Why? For a bigger battery.
That would be an amazing phone that I'd have no issue getting on Day 1.
