Which iPhone should I get for Christmas?
So basically I am getting my first iPhone this Christmas and would love advice on which one is the best for its value on prepay.Here's what I know about them.
IPhone 4S- Cheapest but I worry that it will go out of date and will stop being updated by apple. IPhone 5C-Around €400 in Ireland.Good price,like the colours and style but not sure about the plastic part.This was what I was planning on getting but worried about the news today that Apple are stopping it being made,will that mean it wont be updated? Also have heard that it breaks easily from friends. IPhone 5S-My ideal choice.Great quality and image but at around nearly €600 in Ireland,it's out of my budget. IPhone 6-Way too much money and doesnt seem to be that much better than the rest. Any advice? |

Forget iPhone and get Samsung. Had an iPhone for 2 years, soon got fed up when all my mates had apps on their phones that Apple blocked.

Does it have to be new? You might be able to get a nearly new one in good condition. My wife got a 5C which was mint. Unfortunately, I don't know what to recommend in Ireland.

Apple is reportedly planning to pull the plug on the iPhone 5C next year so it may not be a good idea buying the 5C.

Well not really but buying phones on eBay and stuff can be dodgy.That's good to hear as the 5C is the one I was thinking of getting but am worried about the rumours about Apple taking it off the market.Everything is the same between the UK and Ireland phone wise just that the pound is worth more than the euro and there are some different phone networks I think.

A couple of things to consider re iPhone 6 - the screen is larger than the 4 and 5 series models. This makes things like web browsing, games, and watching videos much more pleasant.
The battery life on the iPhone 6 is quite an improvement over the 5/5c/5s. I'm quite a heavy user and can easily get a day and half out of the phone on each charge. With my old 5, I only got a day at most. |

I think the 5c is a classy phone. It feels good in the hand and in no way cheap. And I have an iPhone 6 Plus! |

It is a good deal as its a 32GB model included (only in yellow when I checked).
