Is it worth buying an iPhone 5 if I have an iPhone 3gs?

I have iphone 3gs, iphone 4, iphone 4s and ipad with retina display.

Iphone 5 has far better hardware then 3GS. Here is a good video on iphone 5 http://www.apple.com/...one/#video

Definitely. People consider upgrading from the 4 as a definite.

The 3GS as you know is no longer made & I expect that, assuming iOS 6.1.3 is the last iOS 6 update it may be the last for the iPhone 3GS, so it, like the iPhone 2G & 3G will no longer be getting updates & sooner would not be able to run most apps.

Hope you're well.

Yes, It's definitely worth buying an iPhone 5 if your have a 3GS. IPhone has come a long way since the 3GS so you would be getting the best iPhone currently available.

The iPhone 5 has a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, an 8MP camera and a 4.0in touchscreen. It's also lighter than the 3GS at 112g. The screen clarity is also a lot sharper and brighter and you will find it is much quicker.

The iPhone 5 has more up to date features such as Siri, which is a voice-activated personal assistant and Facetime which you can use to video call other Apple products. It also features a 1.2MP front facing camera.

I'd definitely recommend the iPhone 5 if you're a fan of Apple and still want the great features of the iPhone in a faster, sleeker model.

Short answer… No.

The iPhone 5 is an evolutionary rather than a revolutionary product… Being more an iPhone 4GS rather than an iPhone 5.It does fit the general product evolution of Apple since the iPhone (2G), the iPhone 3G, and the iPhone 3GS were also basically the same form factor each with hardware upgrades.

Since the iPhone 3GS has at least another half a year on the current operating system, and since the iPhone 5 is already half way to being 'not the latest iPhone' based on historical release cycles, I would wait to see what Apple comes up with for their next iPhone (iPhone 6 or iPhone 5S).

I have an iPhone 4 and the iPhone 5 doesn't interest me in the slightest… Especially since I would have to get new accessories for it that wouldn't be compatible with my other Apple devices.

If you were upgrading from the iPhone 4 or 4S then perhaps not, but from the 3GS you will probably notice a significant improvement and it would be worth the upgrade. But don't feel restricted to the iPhone. When the iPhone 3GS came out it was head and shoulders above other devices, but now there are many other great phones worth considering too.

  • It it worth buying the iPhone 3GS? I'm currently on the Samsung Toco Lite and I want to buy and iPhone. I can't afford the iPhone 4 and I can just afford the iPhone 3GS NEW from eBay. I was considering getting the Samsung Galaxy Ace but I would prefer and iPhone. Some people have said that it can't be updated but other people have told me it can be updated to to iOS 6.Is the iPhone 3GS still worth buying NEW.
  • Is the iPhone 5s still worth buying or would I wait for the iPhone 6? So I've been iPhone 4 for about a year now and I decided to have an upgrade because it's running so slow on iOS 7:c I'm wondering if the 5s is still new and up to date because the iPhone 6 is coming up and Apple usually buries their older iPhones when two years go by. Like is it worth getting the 5s rather than waiting on the 6 and is it still up to date with technology right now
  • Is th iPhone 3GS still worth buying? I want to get a smartphone and I can get an iPhone 3GS for only 100 dollars (factory unlocked and brand new).Is it really outdated or is it still pretty efficient?
  • Is it worth buying an iPhone 3GS in 2013? They have a suck *** droid that barely works half the time. He doesn't need a fancy phone, just something that will work. iPhone 3GS runs abount $160 on ebay. Is it worth buying?
