The iPhone 4S Versus The iPhone 5: Worth The Upgrade?

Since the release of the iPhone 5, I've been comparing its features and specifications with the iPhone 4S. Some of the iPhone 5's internal changes can make a big difference in performance, but that doesn’t mean the iPhone 4S is subpar. While iPhone 5 may be twice as fast, the results of this boot time comparison didn’t really showcase that power. Check out the video below to see the boot time comparison between the two. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8bHKUrHGEE Apple also gave the iPhone 5 a refined camera including features such as improved video stabilization, better low-light performance, and faster photo capture over the iPhone 4S. In the video below, I took the iPhone 5 and 4S out for the day to compare the camera quality. You can check out the high resolution images from the test at the bottom of this article.
