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.
