iphone 4s to iphone 5,worth it?

Ryan F · 10-02-2013, 13:01

I currently have an iPhone 4s on o2. I have been due an upgrade for a few months. Regularly I was going over my data limit of 500mb. I'm considering moving to three for their unlimited data. The dilemma is do I get an iPhone 5 on their one plan for £36 a month and be locked into a 5 for 24 months or do I go sim only with three and keep my 4s? Doing this I could get the 5s/6 which I'm guessing is out later this year

Oh, it's certainly worth it. Have you compared the weight and feel of the 4s comapred to the 5?
Option 2 seems the best bet.

No stick with the 4s and save money on the tariff, and then wait till the 5s/6 comes out.
In my view it has never been worth upgrading one model with the iPhones.

If you have to ask, then you must be 'happy' with it.

Me and the misses are both on a 4S on Threes one plan, absolutely spot on service wise, Internet is blazing quick and consistent(8-10mbps download speeds) which for 3G is great.

We were looking into the 5 but there's just too little a difference to warrant spending the extra cash to upgrade.

Stay with your 4S, go with the one plan sim only for £25 pm, save £11 pm and then if you want the next iPhone sell yours on and put the cash towards a new one. Then you'll have the lastest iPhone on one of the best network tariffs, happy days!!

I have stuck with my 4S which I originally got on O2, I put a 3 UK Sim inside it and I'm holding off till the 5S or even 6 get released.

The iPhone five in my eyes is not worth the upgrade, even more so being so close to a another release. (and yes, I have used/played with the iPhone 5)

Have decided to stick with the 4s

three have a few different SIM only plans. One is £18.90 called ultimate Internet 600 1 month. Got all data, 600 mins and 5000 texts. The other is the one plan at £25. If I go for the Internet 600 can you move up to the one plan if you want?

The difference between the ultimate 600 and the one plan is that on the one plan tethering is free/unlimited where as the ultimate 600 is not, so depends if you plan on tethering or not? if you dont you can save a fair bit by going for the ultimate 600
