I knew the CPU was better, but wasn't sure about other features. He doesn't care about the FP scanner. As to metal vs plastic and color, he doesn't care. He puts his phones into OtterBox type cases so they're completely enclosed and you'd never know what color it was or what it was made from.

One big difference between the 5s/5c and the 4s's is the fact that the 5's have LTE/4g technology for much faster internet access. The 4s are still 3g. (I know that AT&T was advertising the 4s's as having 4g technology, but it isn't actually LTE--and only a speeded up version of their 3g tech.)

We have Verizon in the Seattle metro area. I've never heard him complain about the speed. He'd probably welcome the LTE.

If your son was happy with his 4s, I think he'd be very happy with a 5c and that a 5s might be overkill. But--if his uses would take advantage of the faster processor, then it may be worth the extra $ to get the 5s.

Like I told
Barcey, he's not into gaming. Music, texting and Facebook are his primary uses; and he uses very little data. For videos, he uses his iPad mini 1.
