Hi Alan, If your iPhone 4 works, does what you want and if you are happy how it does it, then maybe you should stick with it for another year. There is no doubt in my mind that upgrading from an iPhone 4 to a 5S is a huge improvement and I wouldn't even think twice about it. It will be much faster and of course you will gain SIRI, much better pictures which makes a difference if you do OCR or object recognition and if you have LTE in your area you will also get much faster download speeds. These are only a few of the advantages I can think of. If you haven't upgraded to iOS 7 you will get a lot more of the new iOS 7 features like activation lock, a few nice new features in the mail app, iTunes Radio if you are into music and much more. I have a 4S right now and my 5S will be arriving in a few days and I can see that if somebody has a 4S and is not keen on Touch ID, the better camera and so on that there is a lot less reason to upgrade. iOS 7 runs super well on my 4S and I trust that at least some of the bugs of iOS 7 will be fixed in the next 3 to 6 weeks with iOS 7.1. I did read about this volume thing on the 5S, but it sounds like there are fixes or at least work-arounds for that until Apple fixes that. I think overall the 5S has been very well received, it gets excellent reviews from sites like Engadget, The Verge and so on and I thought from your earlier comments about you having set aside the money already last Christmas you would have long since gotten a 5S.

That's my thought as well but I've seen several people on the list with a 5s and assuming of course they've had some time to live with it, I would really like to hear what they think and if they've come from an iPhone 4 to the 5s, even more so as that's what I'm using now. ------- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013!

I have a forest right now and it is a bit sluggish with iOS 7, but I think with 5S it would be faster because it has the a seven processor.
