Is the iPhone 5S a worth the upgrade from the iPhone 5?

  • The 5S is WAY better! Once it came out the iPhone 5 became POO.

If you take a lot of pictures and movies and currently use a pass code on your phone it's probably worth it. Speed wise I notice zero improvement. I guess the 5 was already pretty fast. :p Since your asking advice your obviously not a Apple Nut like myself who simply must have the latest and greatest.

I say Save up for the 6.

I'm a tech enthusiast and I usually have the latest and greatest. But I also try to do it smart and economically. Do I want a 5S? Of course. But I'm not rich by any means and have a wife and kid, so I need to pick my "battles" wisely.
 
I would definitely do it. Especially once you factor the switch to T-Mobile, that will save you some serious cash. I am a big fan of their $30 plan, and will be doing that in a few months but even the $70 Unlimited plan is cheaper. In fact, upgrading now will save you some money on a 5S.

Yeah I'll save about 100 bucks. Now I just need to get some to buy my iphone 5.
