Quite a bit. The "i" suffix is added to models that are or were at the top of the Rebel line when they were introduced. The models without the "i" suffix are at the low end of the line and intended to be more affordable (but frankly any DSLR is a nice camera. "Entry level" for a DSLR is still pretty nice.)

The T5i has a touch-screen articulated LCD display, all nINE AUTO-focus points are "cross type", it has a faster continuous shooting speed, and several other nice features. The imaging sensor, however, is largely the same.

The latest in the Rebel line is the T6i and T6s. The "s" has an addition control dial on the back and a LCD display on the top of the camera as well. The T6i/s bodies have an upgraded sensor, better ISO sensitivity, several more auto-focus points were added to the focus system. It's the most significant upgrade to a new Rebel series body in several years. Canon tends to introduce a new Rebel body roughly once per year. Sometimes the differences from previous models are small, but this time the differences are more significant.

Any lens that works on one of those cameras will work on the other. And that means almost any Canon lens currently being sold.

As Bob says.  Any lens designed to work with a Canon "EOS" camera will work on either camera.

 

These camera can use any Canon EOS lens in the line-up except the "EF-M" lenses.  There are currently 80 lenses in the lineup.  These cameras can use 78 of them.  (The actual number changes as Canon introduces new lenses from time to time and discontinues others.)

 

There are also a number of 3rd party lenses designed to work with Canon EOS cameras.  You can use those lenses as well.  The important factor is that the lens must be designed for compatability with Canon "EOS" bodies.
