Is it worth upgrading my iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5?

Pearsonally I'm stuck with a decision because I've had my iPhone for 23 months now and pearsonally when the iPhone 5 was announced I didn't really want to upgrade because it had no NFC and then I thought if I got it sim free it would be better so should I upgrade or wait to see what apple has to offer next year? Thanks for answering!

Added (1). Also another reason why I wanted to upgrade is because I might getting it sim free- that means I can get 4G with the new EE 4G network also the reason why I didn't want to get it is because it supports nano-sim which I don't really like the idea of so should I upgrade or not?

No
it will go on and on
be happy with what you have = happiness

Next year, they're probably gonna release an iPhone 5S which only adds a few new features (like 3).

Well, you should ask yourself, "Do I want an iPhone 5?". I mean, if you ask us, you'd get both answers: Yes and No. So it's better to ask yourself that. The iPhone 5 is better than the iPhone 4 in comparison by miles. But considering how there are much better phones out there as well (ones that do have NFC and doesn't use Nano Sim cards and can use 4G), is it all worth getting? Think about this.

Nobody knows what it is exacly like yet. Wait a few weeks to a month after it comes out. Read and watch some reviews on the internet. If it looks worthy of getting, then you should get it.
But it's all up to you!

You are right, there's no NFC which is a drawback. Compared to the iPhone 4 though the iPhone 5 has a larger screen and of course Siri. It is much better suited to games and videos and has the new Lightning dock connector which will be the Apple standard from now on (so any future accessories will not work as well on your existing iPhone).

EE probably won't have LTE working properly until the end of the year, so if you bought an iPhone 5 now you would not be able to use LTE straight away. You could buy the iPhone 5 sim free now and go without LTE for the time being, or wait until they have LTE up and running and get the iPhone 5 then (it might also be a bit cheaper in a couple of months).

If you iPhone 4 is getting a bit old now it is probably worth getting a new phone and even without NFC the iPhone 5 offers many benefits over the iPhone 4. You can compare contract prices for the iPhone 5 at Best Mobile Contracts:

  • Worth upgrading from iPhone 4 to Samsung Galaxy S3 (and concerns)? I have seen online that I'm able to sync music and video from iTunes to the S3, but my real concern is the money I've spent on iTunes apps. I have an iPad so the apps would not necessarily go to waste, but would it be worth getting the Galaxy S3? I really love the idea of customization that you just can't get with iOS and the performance.
  • Is the iphone 8 worth it? I'm upgrading from an iPhone 5. (no touch id button)? I have an iphone 5 rn. I'm upgrading to an 8. I'm not getting the x cuz no home button and too expensive. And i hate the size of the 8 plus. So, IN MY CASE, is the iphone 8 worth it(given that i'm upgrading from a 5 year old phone)
  • Is the iPhone 5S worth upgrading from the iPhone 5? I was thinking about getting the iPhone 5S, or just waiting for the iPhone 6. Is the iPhone 5S any better than the iPhone 5, or is the iPhone 5 better?
  • Is it worth upgrading my iPhone 5 to an iPhone 5s? My iPhone 5 keeps glitching by randomly turning my music on and off and turning my siri on. It'll start doing things on its own. I tried restarting my phone but it makes no difference. And the more I use my camera, the quality keeps getting a little more worse. Is it time for an upgrade to an iPhone 5s?
