This is specifically for 11" Owners who price portability and just the right size device.

Am torn between an iPhone5 and iPhone4s.

I don't really care about the longer iP5 screen, but I do price the thinner. I also prefer the finish and the glass back of the 4s. I also like the tried&true so 4s would be the usual one for me to get but the price differential is minimal and I'd be one generation behind. There are lots of complaints about iP5 built quality so that's another. I don't need LTE, 3G would be just fine BTW.

So wear your RIGHT SIZE CAP. What u say?

TIA.

definitely go with the 5, why choose an older device?

Even though i prefer the design of the iphone 4s over the 5, the screen size of the iphone 5 makes the iphone 4s look dated. And the iphone 5 is a lot faster.

Agreed. iPhone 4S is a very capable phone. As is the iPhone 4 which didnt get much of the good stuff from the latest iOS release. Chances are we can see this happening with iOS7 and the iPhone 4S.

Future proofing is the main factor I will go for when upgrading equipment.
