iPhone New or Old ?

He should just get an iphone 5, if he gets the 4s he will only regret not getting the 5 and if he gets an android phone, they go out of date too quickly. Cheers, Jared.

I would not worry too much about the phone having LTE at the moment, if you buy a phone with it great but don't buy a phone because of it.

With only one network only having LTE for almost a full year, it you would only be able to use it on EE and live in an LTE area to even be able to use it.

I would have to say that for me, LTE in a brand new phone is important. I don't fancy buying a new phone every 12 months, and if the lad has worked all summer to afford a new one, I'd rather get the phone that will last longer and give most functionality. LTE is the future of data downloading and whilst orange/Tmobile (aka EE) look to have the headstart, I don't believe it will be just them for the whole year ahead. Besides, what if he's with orange/T-mobile anyway? He could benefit from those speeds sooner. For me, LTE is the biggest factor in this discussion.

It sounds as if EE will actually have 3 brands: Orange, T-Mobile and EE for the 4G service which will initially only be available in 16 UK towns and cities. Existing Orange and T-Mobile customers will not automatically have access to the 4G EE service and will presumably have to take out new contracts or get new SIMs.

Hey maggiesoop! In my opinion, iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 both are best in its own place. As iPhone 5 is the next generation of iPhone it'll be having some additional or advanced features.

Just got my mum to buy a 4. She has no need for anything so new, not outdated, not slow, works nicely. And she now has a pick of accessories for it, especially the ones being sold by 5 owners because they don't want the messy solution of the adaptor! Plus it was significantly cheaper!
