IPhone 4 or iPhone 5?

Asked by nmguy (528points) May 23rd, 2011

I’ve finally convinced myself to get a smart phone and have settled on the iPhone. Just wondering whether it’s worth waiting until iPhone 5 comes out.

Any suggestions out there?

According to this website, you should wait for the iPhone 5.

I’d wait until they announce the 5, which should be soon. Then you can make a more informed decision.

Yeah, wait for 5. If you like it shell out the dough, if not, IP4 will drop in price by then… So either way… Win! :)

Wait, wait, wait. I can’t say this enough.

Wait for iPhone 5 and see what it brings, and then wait until 5 has been out a month or two before you buy anything. That way you can see if there are any bugs, issues, or major dislikes regarding the model, and either these will be fixed when you buy it or you will be able to get a discounted iPhone 4.

Realistically, this means waiting until August or September.

Dont wait buy iPhone 4 now, anyways iPhone 3 itself is good enough!!!

When the 5 comes out, Apple will drop the price on the 4.

If the 4’s good enough for you, wouldn’t it be better would it be to get for $100 less?

My company provides my cell phone. They pay the bills. But it’s still a 2 year contract. Even though it was just a month ago, I couldn’t wait to get rid of the #%@#$%! Blackberry Curve I’d be stuck with. I got the 4 – didn’t wait for the 5 – and don’t regret it for an instant.

You’ve got a great choice to make here… the best now, or even better later. Congrats either way!

The rumors are that this year’s refresh will be called a “4S” and it will not have LTE capability (what AT&T and Verizon are starting to roll out).

As much as I would have liked to go from my old “rocked-out” nano to a Verizon iPhone, I don’t think dropping three Benjamins on a CDMA phone makes much sense at this point (and even less so this fall). So I got a refurbished previous gen. iPod touch as a stopgap instead and will soldier on with my “dumb” phone for the time being.
