Wwpd iPhone edition

[Deleted]

My iPhone 4 which has been my constant companion for 2.5 years now has a badly cracked screen. I have Verizon so I am eligible for an "upgrade." Should I buy a cheap iPhone 4 with new 2 year contract? Spend more for the iPhone 4S? Even more for the iPhone 5? Or something else.

I would get the 4s at least I like having Siri for directions

I would get the 5, especially if you plan of keeping it for at least 2 years.

Deal with the cracked screen a few more weeks with me - they're announcing the new one soon which means the prices will drop on all the other models.

Wait for the 5S!

I don't like to pay more than $100 for a phone so I would re-up and get the best/ most affordable smart phone out. I'm assuming the new iPhone will more than $100 so I would vote for an older model.

I know that probably isn't a popular decision though. I could care less if I had an iPhone... says the girl using a droid.

We FaceTime regularly with family and the iPhone is my camera which is the main reason I want to stay with the iPhone although I might change.

I'm afraid the 5s will be put of my price range. I can't imagine spending much more than 200 on a phone. And I'd like to spend less than that.

We got 5's right when they came out on Verizon and they were $200. I would think just 5's would go down to $100-150 soon because of the 5s. I just like the screen size of the 5 and I doubt the 5s will be that much better?

Wait to buy the 5 when the 5S comes out then

Lol. You just want me to probe with this cracked screen don't you?

I'm tempted. I'm also tempted to be cheap. Constantly conflicted.

Is there a huge difference between the 5 and a cheaper iPhone, like the 4s? If you want to stay with the iPhone then I would see if you can find one in your price range.

This. At least wait to see how they reprice the the other models.

Get the newest one. The current iOS won't run on the 4. It slows it down like crazy and a lot of the newer apps won't work without it. I would get the newest phone to be able to upgrade the OS for a while.

I vote wait, too. The other models will be cheap(er), and go with the 5.

Seriously, wait! You'll be spending a lot less for the same phone if you just wait a month.

Ok, I'll wait. Any typos or strange comments are because I can't see what I'm doing!!

I have the 4s and my h has the 5. It's a lot nicer. Better screen, better camera. So I would wait for the 5 to get cheaper.
