Which iPhone?

I'm a bit cautious to jump on the iPhone bandwagon - it just seems to be the same phone as all the previous ones! It's also very expensive at £539!
But alas, I need to get a new phone and having flirted with android phones - which are quite good - I want to go back to Apple. I'm not prepared to pay over £500 for one. Do you think the 5c is worth buying at £319 or is it better to opt for a better model every time?

5c for £319 will only give you 8GB, which IMHO is way to small. So consider that before buying. I changed my mind and got myself a 64GB iPhone 6 instead of 16GB one, after the issues I had about unable to upgrade to iOS 8 on my old iPhone 5 due to not having enough storage left.0

Ah very true. I would be looking for 16GB minimum storage.
I don't think I'm that committed to buy the iPhone 6, but I hope you enjoy!0 -

You can upgrade through itunes if you don't have enough room on your phone. Or if you really don't want itunes on your computer, you can back up the phone to the cloud, delete some stuff, upgrade to ios8 then reload stuff from the cloud.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages, student & coronavirus Boards, money saving boards.

Im starting to find that even 16gb is too small storage! and I bearly have any apps. I find I have to go back and delete messages every few months (never really bothered before)
Went for 32gb 5s this time just so I can use the phone how I wish without having to managed the storage. only actually get 26 GB of the storage anyways due to the software etc0 -

it depends what you want
If you want just an apple fone go for the 5c save yourself a bit
If you want slightly more features (fingerprint , slow mo etc) go for the 5s
if you want the latest and a bigger screen go for the 6
£319 for iphone 5c but that is a 8gb which others have said just isnt enough memory
£459 for a 5s with 16gb memory
so as always your just paying for memory with apple0
