If you got your 4S on contract with AT&T last year I just heard on the Today in iOS podcast that AT&T would charge youa $250 upgrade fee on top of the price of whichever iPhone you pick + another $36 fee for whatever and they will force you to extend your contract for another 2 years from now. So, if you pick the iPhone 5 16 Gb which is $199 on contract if you are allegeable for full subsidy, it would cost you $199 + 250 + 36 = $485. And if you currently have a 32 Gig or 64 Gig you can add $100 or $200 respectively to the $485. For $650 ($165 more than what you would pay for an early upgrade) you could buy an unlocked iPhone 5 16 Gb.
Anyhow, if you have a 4S there is very little reason to upgrade, keep in mind that on top of the upgrade price you have to get a new case or cases because it's bigger, if you have extra cables or docks you either have to get 30-Pin to 9-Pin adapters or buy new cables and docks. As far as I can tell putting iOS 6 on your 4S will give you all the new features including Panoramic photos, the new VIP email feature, the new phone features, maps with turn-by-turn guidance, the Passbook app etc. Only thing you wouldn't have is a physically larger phone, a 720P HD front camera and LTE support. Well, I guess you also don't have the A6 processor and the new touch screen which is supposed to be more precise, but let's face it, the 4S is a very fast and snappy phone.
