hi, Other than speed performance sorts of things, the iPhone 5 works fine for most applications that one uses on a day to day basis. There are some new features like Touch-ID that aren't available, access to AC WiFi network speeds and such that may concern some, but overall, most wouldn't notice unless they used a newer model for a while to compare. Also, its possible that, as iOS upgrades happen, the 5 may become unable to upgrade similar to the iPhone 4 not being able to upgrade beyond iOS 7. I know people that use an iPhone 3GS and others that use an iPhone 4 and they work fine for them. It's all in how you use the device, your personal needs and finances.
I have a 5 myself, although my wife and kids have a 5S and 6's. Silly me, let them have the more powerful devices and I'm stuck with the old one. Oh well, can't afford to upgrade everything at once. Later...

Its a phone. Its got many useful side benefits. I am not one of those rich people who trade in a car every year so they can stay ahead of the Joneses. It makes little sense to chase after the latest and greatest. I do not find my 5 to be old at all. Limitations? What limitations? (smiles) >From E.T.'s Keyboard...
