How is the iPhone 5 better than the iPhone 4S?

I'm wanting to get an iPhone and am thinking I should just get the iPhone 4S because I'm not particularly fussed with the extra memory or whatever that the iPhone 5 has as I don't think this is worth the extra money. Is it worth me getting the iPhone 4S? Is it still a really good phone despite not being the latest model? How is the iPhone 5 better?

Don't waste miney and buy the iphone 5.
The iphone 4s is much better and cheaper and runs steady!

I've just moved to the 5 and I think preferably its much better and no it does not have more memory as you still get the option for a 16g, 32g and 64g
The 5 has a A6 chip for quicker processing speeds improved screen for clearer display its lighter, taller, thiner and all round much better it also has the capability of 4g Internet depends on your network, a slate coloured back instead of glass to stop it smashing I would advise the 5 but depends on how much you want to pay?

In alot of ways its better

Hi. I don't see how either phone is better. I don't like any of the iphones, but that is just me. Go to cnet or phonescoop. Look up the phones and read reviews though to see which phone may be worth getting

They're both great phones and have fairly similar features.

Both the 4s & the 5 have an 8MP camera, along with a 326ppi display. Both phones also have the Siri voice assistant & Facetime feature.

However, the iPhone 5 is an upgrade from the iPhone 4S, and so it offers a 1.2MP Facetime camera as opposed to the 4S's VGA resolution front facing camera. It also offers a larger 4inch screen, and is considerably lighter than its predecessor weighing only 112g compared to the 140 g of the 4S. The 5 also allows for 4G connectivity, offering faster download speeds and quicker page loading times.

Hope that helps you understand the difference between the two phones a little better. If you want to have a look at the iPhone 5 specifications more then here is the link to the iPhone 5 page: http://www.phones4u.co.uk/apple/iphone-5
