Upgrade or wait?

[Anonymous]

So I have an iPhone 4S I've had pretty much an iPhone ever since they have come out from 3G 3GS 4 and now iPhone 4S I can now upgrade and want an iPhone again but feel that the models are pretty much the same with just afew differences.
So been looking at at the 5s and 5c I'm tempted but I'm I just best waiting for the iPhone 6 because if I upgrade now I guess ill be missing out on getting an iPhone 6 by quite awhile what some 18 months later 😞
And I have no idea when the iPhone 6 comes out and what features it will have so do i just upgrade now any thoughts?

Hi,

You could drop to a sim only contract until the iPhone 6 is released and then make a decison or just stay on what your on, which will drop to a 30 day rolling contract.

i have the iPhone 5s and its a really good phone.

At the back end of the year i'll take a look at the Phone 6 or whatever Apple call it and make a decison then.

My situation is a bit different as im on a pay as you go 4g account and pay upfront for my iphpnes from apple.

Lots of rumours on the next iPhone or iPhones including a bigger screen etc. Time will tell.

Take a look at idownloadblog for lots of rumours too.

It's a long time until the next iPhone comes out and it won't be that much different to the 5s.
If you go on to a refresh tariff you can always pay off your phone part of the contract and upgrade to a 6 or whatever they call it when it's released.

Now have you been speaking to Tim Cook again on his private line @MI5  ?

Problem with the refresh tariff is your sometimes paying more for the phone than what apple charge for it sim free and unlocked !

Nope, just applying the logik that Apple apply themselves - Nothing much changed since the 4 except Siri and a fingerprint scanner

.....and without Job's abilities, nothing exciting likely to happen either

Well i'm sure the OP will in their wisdom choose the correct avenue to take.

I wouldn't lock myself into paying more to O2 for a phone via refresh than what the manufacturer charges themselves for a true unlocked sim free handset.

Unless disposable income comes into play of course.

I wont include the comparison in specs chart from the 4 to the 5s as I dont want to take this thread off topic, but its way more than a scanner and Siri.

So isn't there going to be a big difference to between the iPhone 5s and iPhone 6 I no nothing Is dead cert but I thought the iPhone 6 was meant to be the one with some big changes when is it likely to be out June? Sept? I'm thinking if its worth waiting staying on a rolling contract

Putting it bluntly we do not know.

MI5 is an Android man and is teasing you.

iOS is meant to be that way so your accustomed to it straighaway.

Android firmware is so fractured its a bind sometimes !
