Suggestions: Upgrade to IPhone 4s or 5?
I want to upgrade my cellphone but I don't know which phone I should upgrade to. Should I upgrade to a 4s for $100 or to 5 for $200. My mom has the IPhone 5 and there's really no huge difference between the 4s and 5 besides the picture taking and the size and thickness of the phone. But in overall experience of any Apple users out there, what is your suggestion?
Both are great handsets and as you would imagine have fairly similar features so choosing whether to upgrade or not will be down to which ever features you deem to be the most important. Both the 4S & the iPhone 5 have a 8MP camera and a 326ppi display which offers fantastic image quality and screen resolution - great for both taking photos and using your iPhone to browse the net. Both phones also have the Facetime feature & the Siri Voice Assistant - something which is great if you're busy or on the move!
However, the iPhone 5 is an upgraded handset from the iPhone 4S & has a 1.2MP Facetime camera where as 4S's front facing camera offers only VGA resolution. The iPhone 5 is also considerably lighter, longer and thinner than its predecessor weighing only 112g - the iPhone 4S weighs in at 140g. The iPhone 5 you also offers 4G connectivity if you so wish, meaning faster download speeds. I would also point out that the iPhone 5 is available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB versions, the iPhone 4s is available in 16GB only.
The best thing you can do is read around them both a bit more and make your decision that way. If you want to have a look at the iPhone 5 specifications more then here is the link to our iPhone 5 page, you'll also find some customer reviews for both handsets which may help you in your decision.
Hope I help! If I do, please select my answer as the Best!

I have done everything; forgotten the network, reset the network settings, ect. No matter what I read on these forums, nothing seems to really work. I don't know how to do much with electronics and such, so things suggested like with the static IP and all of that, I don't understand. Please, if anyone can help me, I'd truly appreciate it.
