So the iPhone 5 is out and naturally the fans and detractors have lined up.

For me, the iPhone 5 is a no-brainer upgrade. LTE.  I have LTE on my iPad and it makes a huge difference when I'm traveling.  If the only thing the iPhone 5 had was LTE, I'd still upgrade from my 4S to it.

Of course, that's not the only thing in the iPhone 5 delivers.

Here are a few of the things I care about to varying degrees:

1. It's about 20% lighter than the 4S.  I kind of care about that.  
2. It's about twice as fast as the 4S.  I don't care about that at all. The 4S is already plenty fast.
3. It has a slightly larger screen in the sense that it's now 16x9 so it's a bit longer. I don't care about that, if anything it's a negative.
4. The video camera now has dynamic low lighting support. I kind of care about this.
5. The WiFi is now dual-band. This means better performance and range. I kind of care about this.
6. It has a new connector. This means it's not compatible, without an adapter, with all the various iPhone/iPod connectors.  This doesn't bother me as the old one was clunky and dated.
