iPhone 5 vs iPhone 4s comparison

Use three checks before choosing

1. Fit: compare size, weight, display, and how each phone feels in daily use.
2. Function: compare cameras, battery, charging, storage, and support.
3. Value: decide whether the $0 launch-price gap pays for features you will use.

MobileBurn does not turn outside test results into a made-up score winner. Compare the concrete hardware, the written verdicts, and the price gap, then decide which trade-off matters in your daily use.

The iPhone 5 pairs a 4.0-inch Retina LCD, 60Hz display with Up to 10 hours video playback and 5W wired charging. The iPhone 4s uses a 3.5-inch Retina LCD, 60Hz display, Up to 10 hours video playback, and 5W wired charging. Compare these with size, weight, and the way you charge during a normal day.

Camera hardware also needs context. The iPhone 5 lists 8MP main, while the iPhone 4s lists 8MP main. Lens variety does not guarantee better photos, so open the iPhone 5 review and iPhone 4s review for reported strengths and weaknesses.

Count the secure years, not only the launch price

iPhone 5 support is listed as check current ios compatibility. iPhone 4s support is listed as check current ios compatibility. A longer useful life can outweigh a lower launch price because it spreads the purchase over more secure years.

Before buying, confirm storage, carrier bands, warranty, repair availability, and regional charging accessories. You can also return to the phone directory or use the phone finder to build a wider shortlist.
