Well, the day is finally here! Right now, you can head on over to Apple’s site and buy the brand-new iPhone 5S. But that also means one persistent annual question is back: “Should I get a new iPhone?” The answer is less dependent on the actual iPhone 5S (the fancy, gold, expensive one) and 5C (the cheaper, colorful plastic one), than you’d think; really, the answer is all about you. What do you want? What do you need? So we made this little infographic to help you through the process. Enjoy!
