Based on what I've been told, the iPhone 5 is exactly the same as the iPhone 4

The only difference being a slightly larger screen.

Is this true? Didn’t Apple add any new software or something to the new iPhone 5?

New LTE network

Apple released iOS6, which gave the iPhone some new features and updated old ones. However, this new software is also subject to numerous critics due to its flaws and bugs. When it comes to hardware, the phone itself has faster internet, a new chip and a few other improvements. If you’re unsure on whether you want it or not, I’d recommend against buying it since it’s a sign you might be feeling you don’t truly need it.

All of the Iphones are practically the same. The only real difference is the browsing speed of them.

4G, new A6 chip, larger screen(more icons per page). That’s basically everything that was updated.

Now you can form an informed opinion.

It is now lighter, so all of the old iPhone users, with their horrible deformed hunchbacks. no longer have to carry around that tremendous and disfiguring weight.

Yes. The old Iphone would always give me a workout trying to lift it.

Now, with the Iphone 5, we only have to dish out a couple hundred dollars to get a 20% lighter phone.

Thank you Apple, for having a very lazy friendly device.
