I would add to this, if you wait because you've heard the latest and greatest is around the corner, you will only drive yourself crazy. I did that when I got my iPhone 4. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ricardo Walker To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2013 12:13 AM Subject: Re: New Member Intro andHelp Needed Choosing iPhone Model
Hi, honestly, when it comes to tech, especially mobile tech, I think one should just go and buy the best they can reasonably afford. I don't think one will ever be disappointed in doing so. For example, by purchasing the iPhone 5, one is almost certain to have access to the next major release of IOS. If you can afford a 32 or 64 GB iPhone? Get one of those. I've never heard anyone complaining about how much extra space they have on their device. haha. If a 4S is more in your price range, then get that. But, I really do think one is better off letting their finances dictate what they get than features they may or, may not use.

Right now TELUS has a deal on where you can get the I phone 4s for 0 dollars' with a 67 dollar a month plan over a 2 year contract. this plan includes 200 daytime minnits 1 gig of data and a few other things. I went in and asked them about this today and they said that this offer was still on. I was thinking about getting this offer since I would not have to pay for the phone at least not up front I mean but after reading your msg I am re considering if it would just be better to go with the 5 and pay the extra 100 something. since like you pointed out by the time you factor in cases and stuff for the iphone 4s you are using older tec. i would like your thoughts. from Mich. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Sieghard Weitzel > To: viphone@googlegroups.com > Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2013 1:38 AM > Subject: RE: New Member Intro andHelp Needed Choosing iPhone Model > > Hi Alan, > > And just to add to the confusion, there are already rumours that Apple may actually release a new iPhone in June again as they did in 2010 and before. It was only the 4S in 2011 and the 5 last September which were released in the fall and if you are not in a huge hurry, I think it wouldn’t hurt to wait maybe 6 or 8 weeks to see if those rumours persist. > > Anyhow, as far as the 4S and 5 are concerned, I would absolutely advise against the 4S. It’s a very good phone, but to get a 4S at this late stage would not be a good idea especially since as a new user you may want to invest in some accessories like a dock, cases and so on and if you buy a 4S with the old 30-Pin connector any accessories you buy will be outdated at the point of purchase with respect to future iPhone releases as those will all have the much smaller Lightning connector. And of course the processor on the 5 is much faster, as Nicholas pointed out, the 5 has more RAM and apart from the slightly larger screen it is thinner and lighter. > > I have a 4S and while I upgraded from the 4 to the 4S I didn’t upgrade to the 5, but mostly because I want to upgrade when the new iPhone comes out and getting a new phone every year does get pretty expensive. If I had still been on my 4 or a new user I would absolutely have bought the iPhone 5. > > > Regards, > Sieghard > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. > To search the VIPhone public archive, visit http://www.mail-archive.com/viphone@googlegroups.com/. > To post to this group, send email to viphone@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to viphone+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/viphone?hl=en. > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "VIPhone" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to viphone+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. > To search the VIPhone public archive, visit http://www.mail-archive.com/viphone@googlegroups.com/. > To post to this group, send email to viphone@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to viphone+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/viphone?hl=en. > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "VIPhone" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to viphone+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
