The iPhone is by far the best-selling mobile device on the market. But it does come with a hefty price tag. Sure, an iPhone is cool; it’s also pretty fast, reliable and gets great service. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that you need an upgrade. With Apple tending to keep to a once yearly up date of the iPhone, the differences between models can be small, and may not be worth the price if you’re on a budget. Today we’re looking at upgrading to the iPhone 5, is it worth it? Depending on your needs, your budgets, and your current phone model, you might want to go new, or to hang on to what you have. Read on to find out the advantages and disadvantages to switching to the new model…
Why You Might Want to Upgrade to the iPhone 5…
There are obviously some new features that might make an upgrade desirable. Probably the biggest difference between the new iPhone ad previous models is that we finally get a bigger screen. The four inch screen on the new model (as compared to the three and a half inch screen on previous models) means that you get a more comfortable viewing experience, whether that’s for web browsing, email reading or video watching. In fact, a key difference in the new screen is that it’s a more traditional 16:9 ratio (as opposed to the older 3:2 ratio), so it’s easier to watch videos without getting the letter box effect.
