Love my iPhone!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-5s#post-657297 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:52:40 +0000 BSB 657297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: oh, upgrade fee is the same? Shoot!</p> <p>Oh, btw, you will have to get new cords. I was kinda bummed that they went from the 30 pin to the lightning connector. I have a stash of 30 pin cords. So a little annoyed I have to get new cords and/or adaptor. </p> <p>Oh, if you want to get the adapter that converts your old cords to be used with your new phone, I would suggest buying it on Amazon. It's $25 on amazon and I bought it for $30 in the apple store. Also amazon had some cords for only $15. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-5s#post-657241 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:39:54 +0000 avivoca 657241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: The change was amazing. My phone kept getting slower and slower, it would cut off phone calls sometimes, and sometimes I'd never get my voicemail. I was counting the days until DH got to upgrade because that meant I could too (his upgrade is five months before mine). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-5s#post-657229 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:36:47 +0000 regberadaisy 657229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@evansjamie: wow I bet that was a huge change for you!</p> <p>@derevival: my brothers are really generous! We don't usually take them up on it. Typically only on the iPhones bc we give him our old ones to sell for a profit. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-5s#post-657211 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:34:00 +0000 regberadaisy 657211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It'll be "$200" irregardless bc I'm eligible for an upgrade. </p> <p>@mrskc: I'm a spoiled baby sister! Haha but seriously he owns a cell phone store so he won't "technically" be paying for the new phone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-5s#post-657210 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:33:42 +0000 avivoca 657210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just upgraded my 3GS to a 5. I couldn't wait any longer. My phone had been dying a slow death for the past year, and the only reason I got a 5 was because I didn't want my phone to be obsolete within 6 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-5s#post-657208 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:32:49 +0000 derevival 657208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: wow. That is super nice of him!! Jealous. That is the annoying and frustrating thing about these phones: they come out with new models every year. I would want the latest model...5s probably wont be too much different though. Still. Hard choice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-5s#post-657194 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:29:38 +0000 mrskc 657194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's really nice of your brother! I would probably just get the 5 now. I still have the 4 and I really want to upgrade. I think I'll hold out until the 5s comes out so I can get the 5 cheaper. But since he's buying it for you, might as well get the 5 now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-5s#post-657187 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:28:37 +0000 .twist. 657187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just upgraded my 4 to a 4s. After looking at the 5 I just couldn't justify the minimal changes. I will probably try waiting for something after the 5s because I just don't think the 5 is all that. For my needs anyway it didn't make the cut. So I just got a 4s. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-5s#post-657168 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:22:21 +0000 BSB 657168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just upgraded my phone on Tuesday from 4 to 5. I always seem to buy things right before a new version comes out. Haha.</p> <p>I like having Siri. I don't know what 5s has but I'm pretty sure the 5s is going to be more expensive so odds are if I had waited til this summer to upgrade, I still would get the 5. I only wanted to spend $200 on a phone.</p> <p>I was telling the DH, that I always like getting the second newest phone. This was the first time I got the newest one.<br /> The newness is only going to last a couple months. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iphone-5-or-5s#post-657124 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:11:33 +0000 regberadaisy 657124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother is offering to upgrade my 4 to a 5 but I know the 5s is coming out this summer. Is it worth waiting for? If I just get the 5 I'll have it in a month but if I wait for the 5s it can be another 6 months or so! And my 4 is dying a slow death!!</p> <p>Thoughts on the 5 vs 5s? </p>
