5 looks better,
4/4S was built better. In my opinion.
I am more a fan of structure than appearance.

Do you think that the iPhone 4S is the peak of Apple's phone designs

Uh... Apple has always made their SIM ejector tools out of Liquid Metal and they are mirror like.
Impossible to say because Apple is still in business and there will be many other designs. It is not like an athlete whose performance will surely decline over the year.
But even so far, I prefer the 5 to my 4 which is heavier, thicker, more slippery, less comfortable to hold, too shinny.

Obviously?
Are you using telekinesis to say stuff like that? I used it.As for your annoyance, don't be so sensitive. Maybe you need a hug?
I love my 4S and have no plans nor desire to upgrade any time soon, so in my view, yes, the 4S is the best. It ain't no slug in terms of performance by any means either, even at today's standard. Probably due to Apple's excellent hardware-software development.

You sound awfully defensive for a comment that was made about someone else... ixodes wouldn't be your trolling alter ego would it?
iPhone 4 design is way better than iPhone 3G design
iPhone 5 design is way better than iPhone 4 design

iPhone 5 is the pinnacle of Apple design.
It is absolutely stunning.
Both white and black have something really special about them.
And once you held an iPhone 5 in your hand you can really see what all the fuss is about.
But each has its own taste, for me the iP5 is drop dead gorgeous.

I remember when the 4 came out and I got it, I thought they couldn't top the design. Even over a year later with the 4S I still thought the same. Then I got the 5 and completely disagree. The 5 is the best design yet.
I still think the 4 is the biggest change in design and the first design that really changed the look of the iPhone, but the 5 takes that idea and completely tops it.

Having both a 4S and a Galaxy S3, I've considered the iPhone 5 but really am not crazy about its design and odd screen resolution. The best part of it all was the new Apple Ear Pods which I use with my 4S and despite technical issues, my Galaxy S3 as well.
I loved the insane build quality of the original iPhone. It had a nice feel and weight to it that really felt like a true premium device. Now looking rather dated along with the 3G and 3GS. The design of the iPhone 4 / 4S is great aside from the sharp edges and rather fragile design of the "glass sandwich".
Had Apple improvised on its design by possibly rounding the glass edge surrounding the entire phone, it would feel much better in the hand to me. A simple beveled edge to avoid the sharp easy to crack corners if it was ever dropped.
I'm no hater of the iPhone 5, but not a big fan of it either.

IPHONE 4s IS THE PEAK OF APPLE'S PHONE DESIGN
No, not at all in my opinion peak is called when we have iPhone 6 or 7 with reducing the space on the iPhone. So, that they can increase the screen's length and breadth.I can't say much about 4s as it also has the same wastage area like iPhone5.

One has to wonder why anyone would consider the model that's by far the most likely to shatter something when dropped, the pinnacle of Apple's phone designs.

Have you ever owned an iPhone 4? I've dropped mine countless times accidentally, on concrete, on stone, on wood, and it's still scratch-free and basically in mint condition (if it weren't for the ****ing home button, but I suppose that happens with all physical buttons on any phone after a certain period of time).
It doesn't bend though does it? And it costs 10$ and about 5 minutes to replace the back glass yourself.
Newest isn't always the best.
Hmm... I don't know. The glass back and mirrored front of my mom's 4 is certainly beautiful, though it looks far more susceptible to damage. Better design than the 5?
I can't say. I don't think I'd have minded if they'd stuck with the glass back this time around but the aluminum is still a very worthy successor.

I like it.
Just replace the connector with the new lightning connector.

My preference.
iPhone 4/4S > iPhone 5 > iPhone 1 > iPhone 3G/3GS
Hmm... my white galaxy note 2 is a lot like the iPhone 3G/3GS.
No argument there, but there's also no arguing that the 5 is a heck of a lot more fragile than previous models, so it's a wash.
I had a i4s, now have an i5. I do like the look of the i5 but I'm already finding it more prone to wear and tear after just 4 weeks. It's such a shame, but I think Apple pushed it too far, they made a great looking device without caring too much about the real world use of these devices. I would've been happy with a thinner 4s if they could've kept the same metal, it could take a beating and still look good, my i5 is looking worn already and gets treated just the same.
