IPhone 4 or iPhone 5 which is better?

I'm 13 now and my parents said I can finally get a cellphone so I can call them if I go to the mall alone or things like that for safety issues.
I will be paying for the phone ( no I'm not a spoiled brat )
So I'm not sure if I should get the iPhone 4 or 5
Which is better? I just don't want to waste my money

IPhone 5.It's newer, and when it comes to phones, newer tends to be better. It might have updates and bug fixes, and overall be better. Also the iPhone 5 is thinner, which is Really nice.

Get the I phone 4s if any iphone. But if it has to be one of those the I phone 5

Depends on your budget…
As iPhone 4 is good but being the latest, iPhone 5 is better.

I would honestly go with an android you can do more and you have more memory but if you prefer iphone I would say the 5 iphones are way over priced for what you get

IPhone 4! I have the iPhone 5 and I regret it BIG time! So many flaws my phone won't charge anymore!

Both are the same, just iPhone 5 is a bit bigger in length, thinner, and faster… But since the 5 is out, and it's new, why not get that one… It's all about personal preference.

5 is obviously way better hardware, its not even close. Anyone that thinks they are simliar just has no idea what they are even talking about. You can get an iphone 4 free with a 2 year contract though.

IPhone 4
Is the best.
-Not fully updated technology
-Normal size of 4th generation
-made of iron and stainless steel
iPhone 5
Flaws
-Fully updated tech.
-Longer than 4th generation
-made of aluminum (Same metal used to make soda cans)
*** EASY TO BEND!***

Get the its the same technology and diffrent has updated maps, but whose gonna use that?
