My iPhone 4 has seen better days and I was wondering whether to buy an iPhone 5 now or to wait for the iPhone 5S
Always a bloody difficult question... I'm afraid the only answer is how bad do you need an upgrade right now.

Get it now and enjoy it during the summer. You can still get value for the 4. The 5S will just be a spec bump you won't even notice. If it has a fingerprint reader, it will probably be buggy for awhile. Go for the 5 now.
I'm in the same boat, gonna just wait it out.I personally would not. Sure, the iPhone 5 might still be considered a great phone but it IS about 8 months into the product life cycle by now. And given that the 5S (or whatever apple calls it) is destined to be optimized for iOS 7, what's another 4 months?
I myself have a 4S from launch day in Oct 2011 and AT&T said as of yesterday I qualified for a full upgrade. As much as I would like a larger screen and LTE, I am NOT going to run out and use my new upgrade on an 8 month old iPhone 5.
I am going to wait for the 5S since I am on the "S Cycle" anyway. Went from original iPhone, to a 3GS, then to a 4S.
The 5 is an awesome phone, you'll have no regrets even with the 5s with its spec bump in the horizon. As was mentioned you can always do the resale thing. Its all good, go get your phone.
I got a 5 in the end seems fine on iOS 7.
I hope you got it on May and not in September ....
