Re: Questions regarding Aps and IPhone 5S
I agree, it doesn't sound like you'd need more than 2G of data. The other question is how often you'll be able to use wifi. If you'll consistently have access to wifi, such as you have it at home, then you can safely update IOS and your apps over the air without having to worry about your cellular data. Even if you don't have wifi, but you'll be hooking your phone up to your PC or Mac occasionally, then you can update the phone and apps that way, and again wouldn't have to worry about those using up your 2G.

Re: Questions regarding Aps and IPhone 5S
First, if you can stand the wait, the iPhone6 will be out later this year. You could get that, or get the 5S when it drops in price. As to internet, if you are the only one on the phone plan, 2gb is more than enough. Yes, apps use data, but most let you disable internet access while not on wifi. Besides, the majority will only be pulling small amounts of text, so letting them do what they want won't eat into your data plan. The big data users are audio and video apps - Podcasts, Music, Youtube, Skype, FaceTime, and the like. OCR apps are not great, but they get the job done in most cases. Check out Prizmo, Pocket Reader, and Text Detective for starters. Object identifier apps: Money Reader, that free money identifying app whose name I'm forgetting, TapTapSee, Camfind, Red Laser, and Digit-Eyes are the best ones. I strongly recommend you have a look around www.applevis.com to get more app recommendations and reviews.

Questions regarding Aps and IPhone 5S
Hi All, As I stated in an earlier message last week, I intend to purchase an IPhone 5S in the near future. I have Verizon as my carrier & plan to have 2 GB data. I've heard on this list that lots of aps use the internet. Would it be better to purchase more GB, or just don't use the ones that require the internet connection? I only want to text once in a while, and be able to identify objects and colors with the iPhone. Also, I would like to use the ap that can read a printed page after taking a picture of it with the camera. Would someone please explain all this stuff to me? Thanks!
