So what do you think ?

Thought the 5C might have been cheaper and the 64GB 5S is £700

Will i be upgrading my 4 , NO

The 5C should've been cheaper but when you look at the specs. it doesn't lack anything over the the current 5 (body aside) and not much less than the 5S - problem is, they couldn't really release something that was worse than the current 5, so the cost had to remain slightly elevated.  Quite clever really, as I bet they make the new 5C cheaper than the current 5 and charge the same amount for it (taking into consideration each gen is still around and sold when a new model comes out).

The 5 camera is much better than the 4 though, and slightly better than the 4S imo.  If your not bothered by that, then the 4 is still an excellent phone; which just got cheaper because of these new models. :happy2:

I have the 4S and am struggling to justify the jump to the 5/5S. The jump is nothing like the leap from 3GS to 4S.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Im still rocking an old skool 3GS, so will seriously be looking to upgrade, as its getting slow and tired.  Be nice to have a decent camera option on a new phone and also have something tha doesnt take ages to load.

if you were thinking about 4S to 5.. i did that when the 5 came out.. wish i hadnt..

Thought the 4S was better built. the 5 was in my pocket with coins etc, just like the 4S but the 5 came off worst with scratches and marks on the metal band..

Will i be buying a 5S? probably.. but thats cos i'm a magpie and i love new and shiney sh*t...

I wrapped my 3GS in an Otterbox Defender case, and my 4S in a Griffin one - both had a plastic shell with a thick rubber outer casing, so damage isn't an issue.

Does mean that I need to reassess my contract because if I'm keeping my 4S, there's no point in paying a monthly charge. I am in need of a PAYG sim but one with either Orange or Vodafone as they're the only two that have a decent signal at work.

^^^^^^^hahahaaaa.  Sooo true!^^^^^^^

Although the fingerprint non recognition annoying as fcuk function should be a laugh. Especially if you haven't got a 5S and are watching someone attempting to use it!  :grin:

Seems pricey for the cheap 5C version
