Everyone seems to be throwing a fuss over the new iPhone. Deciding whether to upgrade? The new iPhone 5 is taller, but there is a market for more generously sized screens (like the Galaxy S III). Every iPhone is usually faster than its predecessor, and phones do slow down over time as applications evolve and utilize more resources. Apple has added a new chip to the iPhone 5: the A6 chip. Apple claims it to be twice as fast as the iPhone 4S.
Apple also bumped up the camera in the new iPhone 4S. While it’s still the same old 8 megapixel camera, The shutter is now much faster. It no longer lags in between shots. You can also take panoramas. The software was also improved, and is better at low-light images. It’s now easier than ever to share your photos on Facebook and Twitter, with the new integration available in iOS.
Do you use your iPhone as a navigator? Every iPhone 5 comes with iOS 6, which removed Google Maps and added Apple’s own map application. While Apple’s user interfaces are awesome, they are not the best at data collection. Streets are missing, images are messed up, et al. While they scramble to make the application work properly, users have found a quick fix: using maps.google.com.
Are you a movie watcher? The iPhone 5 has a slightly bigger screen at four inches, giving applications more room. This is fantastic for anyone who watches a lot of videos on their phone, reads a lot, and much more. With the added space, there is now an added row of icons to the home screen. Text that used to be hard to read should now be easy to see.
Is the iPhone 5 worth the upgrade? If you have anything less recent than an iPhone 4, yes. The retina screen on the iPhone 4 and its later models is much better. If you have an iPhone 4, unless you’re a serious gamer or would find use out of Siri, you should wait until the next iPhone, when all of the iPhone 5 adopters will have old technology.
