Which feature sold you on iPhone 5?

[Cod3rror]

Those of you getting it, can you please tell us exactly what did you like in the new iPhone 4GS... I mean iPhone 5(with iOS 6) that you decided to buy it?

Is it the LTE?
Longer screen?
New design?
New Lightning connector?

Panorama?

 

[PDFierro]

Probably the new design and 16:9 ratio.

 

[Calidude]

Panorama mode of course.

For me it's the RAM. Should be 1 GB on the ip5.

 

[lazard]

5th row of icons and rearview mirror.

 

[djarpit]

really?

this seems like a consolidation thread.

just get the phone if you like it

 

[Faux Carnival]

5th row of apps. It is sooo revolutionary!

 

[iproductsuser]

LTE is huge for me.

 

[WhatAmI]

A6

 

[Wuiffi]

A6

this (if A15)

 

[WannaApple?]

Still have a 4, so pretty much everything!

LTE
Faster processor
Panorama
Retina display
Thinner design. Don't really care about it being taller. If I want something larger, I'll use my iPad!
and yes...even Siri. I can use the heck out of Siri, but never had the chance to yet with my 4.

 

[Orlandu]

LTE.

I actually was hoping all the taller rumors were not true. I'd rather keep my phone the same size. But I can deal with the taller body since the screen is still high ppi.

 

[Kukulcan]

Lighter, thinner, aluminium, even optimized battery life - enough for me.

Same for me.

I'm eligible to upgrade in January, otherwise I wouldn't be getting it.

new all black design looks superb i love the black antenna around the phone

Image retention on LG display XD

I skipped the 4S. My 4 is 2 plus years old and I was upgrading no matter what.

Exactly. I can understand why 4S users would be disappointed, but I skipped the 4S. The still have the iPhone 4 and it's outdated. I need to update.

More space, faster, etc.

bingo! we have a winner

 

[iEnvy]

For a i4 user, its a good upgrade package for staying in an Apple ecosystem.

Dual core A15, if that's what the A6 turns out to be.


My i4 feels slow. If the 5 had a dual/quad a9 (an A5, A5X, or some variant), I wouldn't touch it with a stick.


Pardon my french, but the other features are... err, bovine excretion... to me. Lightning is a BAD thing, LTE's nice, but not essential, Siri is pretty impractical, the longer screen is... nice, I guess, and all the software improvements are nothing compared to what we already get from the appstore/cydia.

Seriously, if it weren't for the major hardware upgrade, theres no reason to pay extra over a 4S.
