I ordered an iPhone 5S 32GB in Silver to arrive hopefully tomorrow. My iPhone 4's battery doesn't hold a good charge anymore. Anyone else have any input on the 5S?
I really like the design. It's not radically different from previous models, but I don't think it is a bad thing at all. The design works, why change it? As for the hardware, I've heard some unfortunate stuff about the 64-bit processor. Something about it needing twice as much memory or something. My mom has an iPad Air and I can tell that it is slightly sluggish with some tasks. But I'm sure that it's nothing software updates can't handle. I sort of wish I'd gotten the 5S instead of 5C. Don't get me wrong, I love mine — looks great and has very little hiccups, it's rebooted maybe 2 — and I'm going to keep using it as long as I can, but dat M7 chip tho ( Moves-app drains 80% of my battery by the time I get back from school at 4PM
It's a neat phone! I guess some have reported issues with the fingerprint scanner, but I haven't run into anything. And I get around three days mixed use out of the battery, but drain it in one if all I do is surf the internet from morning to night. My one complaint is screen size. My galaxy had a bigger screen and it was several years older. Overall, I love it though. I think you made an excellent choice.
The fingerprint and the camera were the two major factors for me. If you aren't so much into taking pics then the iphone 4 will suffice, the fingerprint is just an extra convenience.
The iPhone 4 will not suffice. It's not getting any future updates most likely, and is slow and laggy as it is on iOS 7. I would not advise anyone to waste money on an iPhone 4, or 4S for that matter, at this point.
