Worth it to buy iPhone 5 now?

I've had an iPhone 4s for almost two years now (it replaced a stolen iPhone 4) and I have had no problems with it aside from the occasional app crashes, and starting recently, the phone will freeze for a few seconds, sometimes to where I have reboot the device. Would it be in my best interest to wait until the iPhone 6 is released? Or just pick up the iPhone 5 when the price drops? (I'm not eligible for an upgrade for two years-- my brother used my last one) On the other hand, is the iPhone 5s worth the extra cash? I love iOS because of its simplicity and flawlessness (in my personal opinion!). I'm an avid "smartphone photographer" and I've been perfectly happy with my 4s's camera but ready to upgrade. I understand that some Android phones (e.g. HTC One) have amazing cameras, and I've done research, but Apple's operating system is definitely for me. Any suggestions?

Added (1). I'm perfectly aware and up to date on the new iPhone 5c and 5s and their specs. I have been religiously researching to make this decision. My question is whether or not the 5s is actually worth the extra cash for the new specs compared to those of the seemingly very similar iPhone 5.

Wait until the iphone 6 even tho sometime this year or in a couple of monthes there's gonna be a iphone 5s which is somehow better. So there isn't gonna be that long until a new update one so just wait until that one is out.

If you have 4S, then I would say yes, get a 5S or 5C.

If getting on contract then go with 5S. The 5S hardware is twice as fast and is 64bit (and thats the only 64bit smartphone on the market today).It also has the aluminum casing, is a little larger (like 5) and fingerprint scanner which is what I like. I also like that you don't even press the home button (won't wear it out) as the fingerprint is automatically recognized when you just put it over it.

  • Is it worth it to buy an iphone 5s now in march? I'm not sure march is the right time to buy iphone 5s. As i'm afraid in september, apple would release an iphone 6 which is much better and revolutionized than the iphone 5s. But i really like the styling and the features of the iphone 5s. Is the iphone 5s better than the s5 interm of specs like the processor?
  • Is it worth getting an iPhone 4/4s now? The contract for my phone runs out on the 5th of August and I've been looking at getting a a iPhone 4/4s. However the iPhone 5 is coming out next month and, although it'll be too expensive for me, I'm guessing it will push the prices down of the 4/4s. Is it worth waiting for the release or will the price drop take too long/not be that much anyway?
  • Is it worth buying the iPhone 4s now? With the new iPhone announcement so close would it be worth buying the 4s now? Will the new iPhone have an unlocked version? I have T-Mobile, or will T-Mobile come out with a iPhone of their own?
