Is the iphone 5 better than the 4s?

Which is better?

Yes i have the 5 my cousin has the 4s and his girlfriend has 4 and 5 definatly tops it off it is a fantastic phone if you get it i would say white as the black scratches easily the 5 is super quick i love mine.

The iPhone 5. Why? Well the 4s has a glass backing which cracks very easily. The 5 has a metal like back which does not crack and does not show finger prints. The 5 is very fast at loading media, the 4s is slow. The 5 has a larger display screen (4inches) which shows more media. The 4s has a 3.5 inch screen which shows less media. The 5 has a great screen which shows great colors. The 4s is not as great as the 5's screen. This is my perspective, I recommend you to go to the Apple store in your area and play with both and see which one you like better.

Though the diffence is not much but iphone 5 is better than the 4GS

Obviously, the iPhone 5 is better than the 4S since it's more improved, but nothing has really changed much. The difference is the larger screen size and 4G LTE.

Obviously

Lighter - 112g vs 140g
Higher resolution & bigger screen - 1136x640 4" vs 960x640 3.5"
More RAM - 1GB vs 512MB
Faster Data connections
Improved cameras
Faster processor
Better graphics
Improved battery

Yes, its awesome!
