IPhone 5 or iPhone 5s!?!?!?

I need some help

I currently have an iPhone 5

I just got it about 2 weeks ago

I really like it

But now the iphone5s is out and my parents want me to get it and trade iPhone 5 in

Is it worth it??

They are both the same price

I wanna keep my 5 because I like the looks of it and a lot of people have. And I don't want to stand out with a 5s

And there are also currently a greater variety of cases for the iPhone 5

But on the other hand I'm unsure if I want the new 5s

I mean. The apps have a different appearance aNd I really don't like the way they look

There aren't a lot of cases and it's realativly new so not many have it. And I don't want to stand out

I like the look of the 5 more than the 5s also

But they both are the same price. And my parents say they think its a better buy

I'm afraid that I might regret it too if I don't trade it in

Because in the future everyone will have it and I won't

And it has new features like a fingerprint lock

So I don't know which to. Get can i get your opinion

And can u tell why You think that the phone u prefer is better versus the other phone??

Thanks I will choose best answer for the most informative one.

Tell me a bit about each of the phones

    The iPhone 5 is great, and so is the iPhone 5s. They run on the same system and the 5s doesn't look too different. The main difference is that the iPhone 5s has fingerprint recognition, which is pretty neat! Another pro with the 5s is that the battery lasts significantly longer with iOS 7 because it is already installed to the system, whereas the iPhone 5 battery has been said to drain a lot faster since installing the new iOS. As my own personal opinion, the 5s is better and you wouldn't stand out too much because it looks practically the same as the phone you already have. Plus, the 5s fits the exact same cases that the 5 fits in so you don't have to buy any new ones.

    They Looks the same, the 5S, and the 5, the 5 is being discontinued right now, so if you HAVE the option to get a newer phone, WHY NOT? In my opinion, you should, the new is always better than the old......it brings lots of cool stuff (the 5S), But if you are talking about the 5C, then its pretty much the SAME as the iPhone 5 with a Plastic Shell.....Your Choice....

    I went from the iPhone 5 16GB to the iPhone 5S 64GB. I’m an app reviewer and technology enthusiast. I don’t even play a lot of apps but I love keeping them on my phone. With the 16GB model I had I could only keep 4-6 GTA/Call of Duty type games on it. With the 64GB model I can keep much more.

    So just the size upgrade made it worth it for me.

    The added battery, better camera clarity, faster processor, M7 energy efficient processor and fingerprint scanner made it even more worth it. Sure I hate the fingerprint scanner now, but from what I understand, 3rd party apps will get access to it within the next year.

    Also once the jailbreak comes out it’s going to be more worth it having a jailbroken iPhone 5S than a jailbroken iPhone 5 or iPhone 5C. Imagine all the open source possibilities for the fingerprint scanner.

    Jailbreaks will create ways to lock apps with your fingerprint. Not to mention apps that take photos of the person trying to access your phone if they use a fingerprint not associated with the owner’s. If you can upgrade with a new contract plan for the iPhone 5S, it’s worth getting it now than waiting for the iPhone 6.

    If you’re on an iPhone 4 or 4S and don’t have the 5, don’t get the 5C for your upgrade. The extra $100 is well worth it with the iPhone 5S.

    There's really not much difference between the 5 and the 5s. Just the fingerprint scanner and its faster. The apps have a different appearance because it runs on ios7 which is also available for your phone if you want to update it. However you don't have to. But I see no reason not to just keep your 5 if you like it so much.

    Wait for a iphone 6 I have a iphone 5s but 6 will have more stuff on it

    I'd keep the 5 because the 5s has more opportunities to be stolen than the 5 :p
