I have iPhone 5 for almost a year and I'm happy with it. Still running 6.1.2 jailbroken and wirks like a charm. Is the upgrade worth it? I have another year on contract so I can't unlock it and tgat means that I hace to sell it for 300€ and iPhone 5S will sell here for 700€. Is it worth it?

Not for you. Many say that speeds are relatively the same. If i were you i would hold off. Unless you REALLLLLLLY want the Touch ID and the slight camera improvement. otherwise it isnt worth it
 
Apple operates on a 2-year cycle.

5s isn't made for 5 owners (unless they are tech enthusiasts), it's made for iPhone 4s owners due for an upgrade and is a huge upgrade for them and leapfrogs the 5.

Actually the camera is a huge improvement from the 5 to 5S.

Similar to the iphone 4 to 4S camera improvement.

The camera from the 4s to 5 was a "minor" improvement.

But I agree. Unless you absolutely have to have the lastest greatest and have money to burn (like me), than the 5 to 5S isn't an essentially upgrade.
