Hey everyone, this is DHTV and today I'm going to be giving you the information you should
know before you upgrade your iPhone to the iPhone 5c or iPhone 5s. Lets get started.
So every year Apple unveils a new iPhone to the public and this year we got to see two.
The iPhone 5c as well as the iPhone 5s. Surrounding these two iPhones is a lot of hype and I think
sometimes this can get the better of people. So, this should help you decide if it's a
good time to upgrade or if you can wait another year or two before then. So, first off we
will start with people who have an iPhone 4 or below. If your one of these people you
definitely want to look into upgrading. By now you should be eligible you shouldn't have
to pay an early upgrade fee, you should be right on the mark to get a new one. If you
have an iPhone 4 or below this is really your last stand because you can upgrade to iOS
7 with an iPhone 4 but you wont be able to take advantage of some of the features. That
is pretty much Apple's way of easing you out and letting you know that this is pretty much
it. The iPhone 4 has probably got another year left on it so really consider upgrading.
So, I recommend you can upgrade to the iPhone 5c or the iPhone 5s and I would choose the
iPhone 5s if you can afford it. Now, for those of you that are running and iPhone 4s this
is the perfect time for you to upgrade and I said this in previous videos before. Two
years is the perfect time because you can take advantage of two years worth of upgrades
on the phone and you can take advantage of the price point. Most plans these days last
about two years and it should be around two years now from the 4s to the 5s so you should
be able to get $99.00 price point for the iPhone 5c or the $199.00 price point for the
iPhone 5s. Now, for those of you that are running the 4s I would recommend you purchase
the iPhone 5s over the iPhone 5c. I only say this because the 5c is actually more like
an iPhone 5 with a plastic casing. I will get into this in a little bit when we talk
about the iPhone 5 but, with the iPhone 5s that is the actual 2 year upgrade to the 4s.
It's going to give you the larger four inch screen, your going to get the LTE capabilities,
your going to get the finger print scanner which is pretty interesting and your also
going to get the upgraded internals. The A7 chip for gaming and allowing you to run your
apps smoother and quicker. Now, for those of you who are running an iPhone 5 like myself,
upgrading this year isn't the best thing to do. Especially upgrading to the iPhone 5c
is just dumb because the iPhone 5c as I said before is pretty much like an iPhone 5 in
an enclosed plastic shell. Now, you will get a slightly larger battery with the iPhone
5c but you probably won't notice it all that much. Also, with the iPhone 5c, it's made
of plastic and it's actually thicker then the iPhone 5. So, that is something to take
into consideration as well. Now in my mind, I think the iPhone 5c is a slight downgrade
to the 5 because it's made of cheaper material and it's a little bit bigger. Now upgrading
to the iPhone 5s is maybe something to think about but I still won't recommend doing it.
Your really not getting all that much more in the iPhone 5s then you did in the iPhone
5. You get the finger print scanner which is pretty cool, your going to get the upgraded
chip and upgraded specifications but really the iPhone 5 is more then capable of handling
anything and of the app developers can throw at it right now. So, basically if you have
an iPhone 5, upgrading at this point isn't that smart and I can tell you with my own
experience. I am doing an upgrade from the iPhone 5 to the 5s and my carrier is charging
me an early upgrade fee and with taxes and everything included it's going to run me over
$700.00. Now, this is stupid but I am doing it more for video purposes and teaching purposes
so it's a good investment for me. Now, if you don't have the money for this and you
don't think it's worth it to you then don't buy it. The hype isn't worth it, the changes
aren't worth it. If you have an iPhone 5 your good to go right now and you don't need to
upgrade for at least a year. Anyway guys, let me know what you think of this video in
