Why should someone switch from iphone 4s to a 5?

The new processor is only 1 to 2 seconds faster max, so no you can't say the processor.
The long display isn't necessary. The width is still the same, so no the display is not worth it.
And who really cares if it is light. The 4S isn't even that heavy.

So other than these reasons, why would someone buy a 5 when the 4S is basically giving the same results.

There really isn't a reason to switch over. The only thing iPhone 5 has different if LTE but that's it. If I were you I'd wait for the next iPhone to release before buying a new iPhone because iPhone 4S is still realitivitaly new.

Its a nice phone and its a lot faster than the 4s. I'm keeping my 4s for now because i don't want to kill my wallet. Look up the benchmarks again i don't know what youre talking about 1 to 2 seconds faster.

It's a cult thing, that's all.

I completly agree with you. There's no reason to upgrade to an 5 if you have a good running 4S. And with the IOS 6 update, the 4S is even more similiar to the iphone 5. The 4S has remarkable performance with its dual core CPU. The only thing i can give the 5, is 4g lte. And if you have Wi-Fi at home or your in a good coverage area of your provider, than even 4G won't matter.

  • Would I be able to switch carriers without having to switch phones? I'm with Consumer Cellular and I have an iPhone SE, but I'm thinking of switching carriers so that I can get unlimited data. I don't want to get a new phone because I've had my current one about six months, I really like it, and it works great. I'm not locked into a contract with Consumer Cellular. Would I be able to switch to another carrier without having to purchase a new phone?
  • Should I switch to Verizon or At&t to get the iPhone? I'm currently with T-Mobile, sharing minutes with my mom and dad. Sadly they don't have the iPhone. I'm switching next summer to Verizon or At&t myself paying for my own line. Which is a better service and cheaper? I would want unlimited Internet and texting and a minimum of about 500 minutes, not much.
  • Should I switch my iPhone 5c for an iPhone 5? Okay my iPhone 5c has 8GB and the iPhone 5 I could switch to has 16GB. The iPhone 5 is not very new, over a year old, and my phone 5c is almost a year old. Would it be worth it to switch for the extra space?
  • Should I switch from the iPhone 4S to the iPhone 5? I have the iPhone 4S right now and I've had its since June of last year. My battery goes down too quickly and I have to restart my phone over and over because of how somethings on the phone is working. Do you think I should get a new battery for my 4S or switch to the 5. Sprint currently has the 5 in my area. If I get the iPhone 5, I'm planning to keep it for 2/3+ years. I was saying iPhone 5 because is might cost less than the iPhone 5S/5C because it came out first.
