Re: iPhone 5
Ok, here's my question: should I upgrade to the 5? I have a 16 GB 4 (not 4S). Out of warranty. Working well, just now starting to show signs of slowing down.
Upgrade prices I'm eligible for:
iPhone 5 16GB: $199
iPhone 5 32 GB: $299
iPhone 5 64 GB: $399
Money is an issue; I don't have a lot of dollars these days.
(I fully expect some people here to tell me to ditch Apple entirely. Nope; gonna stay with them.)

I think that language has a lot to do with interfering in our relationship to direct experience. A simple thing like metaphor will allows you to go to a place and say 'this is like that'. Well, this isn't like that. This is like this.

Re: iPhone 5
I just wanted to show my support for you in your decision to not switch from Apple. I was a Droid owner while hubby had an iPhone 4S, and I'll be upgrading to the 5 asap!

Re: iPhone 5
You can't add memory to the iPhone, so I would suggest looking at how much memory you are using on your current phone and judge from that.orpheus wrote:Ok, here's my question: should I upgrade to the 5?

Re: iPhone 5
Here's the deal: since my current phone is working pretty well, I can get some resale value for it. Probably around $150. But the longer I wait, the lower that price will drop. And the more my phone will wear (battery life, possible damage). So in a funny way, now may be a good time to upgrade. I'm really undecided.

Re: iPhone 5
Yes, but the question really is should I upgrade now at all? I can see both sides and am still undecided.Ayaan wrote:You can't add memory to the iPhone, so I would suggest looking at how much memory you are using on your current phone and judge from that.orpheus wrote:Ok, here's my question: should I upgrade to the 5?

Not always. Hubby has the smallest 4S and it's no where near full. My Droid has lots of space left also, without using the card.redunderthebed wrote:I saw an ad for it in the telstra shop i want one.

Re: iPhone 5
I had a sales call the other day. Normally I just hang up as quickly as possible but this one sounded good. The deal was from a reseller of my phone provider contracts. The deal was if I kept my current phone (Iphone4, which I am still very happy with) I would get an improved deal with more phone time, data etc for£10 a month less plus £100 back in the form of a cheque! It seemed like too good a deal to be for real so I phoned my provider to check it was on the level - which it is.
So many people want to upgrade their phones as soon as possible it seems,. but many people are perfectly happy with the Iphone 4 - I certainly am, that they spotted this as an opportunity.

I think there's a mobile telephone somewhere in the house, I think it's one of those you can send "text messages" on, if you know how to.
