Have an iPhone 4 now - should I upgrade to a 4S or a 5?

Pretty simple. I'm getting an upgrade from my iPhone 4 to either a 4S or a 5. Thing is, I don't know just how different the 4S and the 5 are besides the obvious (taller, a little lighter, and different ports). All the reviews are saying the 5 is better, but for the general phone user who isn't a techie, will I even be able to notice a significant difference in anything? Wi-Fi, loading speed, general performance?

I have a 2-year contract with Verizon, and I would also like to know if anybody knows the prices Verizon offers for each phone with a contract.

Iphone 5 is gonna run a lot faster than 4s not only because it has a better processor but also because of 4G Data speeds.

Basically its much faster.

The main other difference is the 4G support.

You can check http://network4g.verizonwireless.com/ for a 4G coverage map, though if you're in a larger city, you're probably covered.

If you don't use a lot of cellular (not Wi-Fi) data, you probably won't notice a huge difference beyond the fact the specs are one year newer.

There's really not much difference. They just keep releasing a new phone every like 6 months or something with barely any changes so that idiots will buy that one cuz it's new and so it must be ten times better, right? It's just a brilliant scheme to make money. The smart people get a new one every like 3 or 4 generations of phones because by that time it actually IS much better.

Few iPhone users know much about technology, which is exactly why they buy iPhones in the first place. You won't notice a significant difference if you upgrade.

My suggestion is that if you want to notice a big difference when you upgrade, ditch the iPhone and go with HTC or Samsung. More specifically, go with an HTC One X (older phone, but it'll still beat the iPhone 5) HTC One X Plus, the Samsung Galaxy S3 or the Samsung Galaxy S4 (will be released in April).

If you want to notice a difference when you upgrade, in terms of browser speed, video quality and capability, go with any of the 4 Android phones I mentioned above.
