That really depends on what phone you're currently using. If you already own the iPhone 5 then its identical design and software and only marginal upgrades to its camera probably aren't enough to justify it. The processor has seen a huge bump, but in everyday use, you won't notice it -- the iPhone 5 is already a speedy device.
Physically, the iPhone 5S is almost identical to its predecessor.
It's certainly worth considering if you're on a 4S, or even a 4 still. The 5S is skinnier, lighter and has a larger screen. Its speed boost will be much more noticeable, as will the camera improvements. The fingerprint sensor is fun and will shave a few seconds off every time you need to type in your PIN, but it's hardly a deal breaker.
If you're well and truly ensconced in Android land then the new iPhone probably isn't going to tempt you to switch. Its screen size is still physically smaller than the vast majority of top-end Android phones and while some iOS 7 additions have arguably been pulled straight from Android, key features like homescreen widgets are still absent. If you crave the metal chassis of the iPhone, take a look at the HTC Oneinstead.
The iOS 7 software is a great place to start if you're looking to take your first steps into the smart phone world, thanks to its relative simplicity and ease of use. While you'll almost certainly love the phone itself, it's extremely expensive for recent converts. Instead, take a look at the older iPhone 4S, which you can now buy from £349.
