Pros and Cons of the iPhone 5 

The iPhone 5 is extraordinarily thin and comes with a bigger and brighter screen along with 4G LTE speeds, which is nothing less than great. Its battery life can be marked as above average and the quality of the camera is also good. However, the interface enhancements are minimal compared to previous iPhone iterations and the Maps application is not effective. 

Pros and Cons of the iPhone 6

Excellent resolution and bigger screen size along with enhanced battery power is what makes the iPhone 6 highly popular. Apple Pay is pretty handy and the camera is a big selling point. On the negative side, the device is quite expensive and you might find the rear camera a bit sticky.  

Specs

The iPhone 5 has a 4-inch display and 640x1136 resolution. The internal memory is 16/32/64 GB and it has 1 GB DDR2 RAM. The rear camera is 8 Megapixels and the front camera is of 1.2 Megapixels. It has Apple A6 chipset, Dual core 1.3 GHz Swift CPU. 

The iPhone 6 has 4.2-inch display and 750x1334 pixels resolution. The maximum internal memory is 128 GB compared to just 64 GB for its predecessor. The front and the rear camera have the same specifications as the iPhone 5. Also a part of the iPhone 6 is an Apple A8 chipset and Dual core 1.4 GHz Cyclone CPU. 

Talking Points

The advanced version of the iPhone 5, the iPhone 5S, is still solid competition for the iPhone 6, and some early reviewers are questioning whether it would really be worth it to upgrade. The secured payment application "Apple Pay" for the iPhone 6 has been reported to be suffering from some possible security issues and might not be as safe as claimed by Apple. 

Price

The iPhone 5 retails for $649 and above. The iPhone6 is available for $749 and the highest version is priced at $949.

Conclusion

The iPhone 6 is one of the best smartphones available in the market. If you are not bothered by the whopping price, then the iPhone 6 is a solid purchase. That being said, it doesn't represent a major departure from the iPhone 5, so it's hard to go wrong with either.
