Upgrade to iPhone 4 now? or wait till 5

[BatFastard]

Hey all, I am tempted to get an iPhone 4 (my last iPhone was a 3g). Currently got an HTC Desire and my next phone will be an iPhone. Does anyone know of any concrete details on the new one set to come out in July?

If Apple is right by their upgrade cycles this years should be the same just with a processor upgrade and the like and if I upgrade now I can get the significant update next year.

Yep, I doubt very much it will be iPhone 5 this year.

 

[Tom]

December was the "don't bother after this point" date.

 

[Revels]

Impossible to predict what's coming.

Nobody (that will talk) knows anything.

No dates. No info.

 

[Tom]

If there isnt an update in June then it will be amazing.

Also I have just thought I have kept my 3G and wouldn't have a use for it after I got a 4 - these still go for 150-200? Plus selling the iPhone 4 would give me enough for iPhone4++ once its released so probably upgrade now if that sounds a good plan?

Plus I would sell the Desire

Sell 3G and Desire.
Buy iPhone 4
Sell iPhone 4 in July and buy iPhone 5.

There's no point in waiting around when they manage to retain a big chunk of their value!

Via upgrade or buy outright?

Pretty much my plan if I like the 5.

+1 upgrade due end of march so will get a 4, keep it as clean and scratch free as I can and then sell when the new one comes out.

I would love one now tbh. My 3G is stupidly slow and fucked

 

[Gally]

Mines is in March also.

Not on Vodaphone by any chance? My usual upgrade is end of Feb but doing a special online only deal for 180 days before contract end

 

[Truffs]

My 3G is due next month but im waiting on the 4S/5 whatever they call it

Where did you see this? It's 70 days on mine.

Upgrade buddies?

On o2 unfortunately. Not long to go now.

Early upgrade one off cost: £309.00

Bit f**king steep likes!

18month con, £35.00 a month and 309.00 for the phone!

Been reading the forums, it won't work if you go through the My Account (What I was doing) go here:

https://upgrades.vodafone.co.uk/

This should allow you if you got < 180 days to go

 

[Gally]

I found it! It's expensive!

I'd be cheaper paying off the remainder of my contract ffs!

Same for me but mine is £269.00 for the phone

 

[Gally]

I'd rather wait, think it's £169 for my upgrade.

 

[Tom]

Good luck selling a 4 at the point of iPhone 5 launch.

3GS users last year that ended up settling for £250 will know what I mean. (Unless you have money to burn)

Thankfully my iPhone 4 is unlocked, so i should be able to shott it for some decent money.

 

[Gally]

I'd usually wait on the madness calming before I bought mine.

 

[Tom]

If you are happy to do that i guess thats fine.

i sold my 3GS the day after to some mug for £350. Paid £29 for the 4. LOL.

 

[Gally]

You're not far off buying the 4 sim free for that!

Mug indeed!

 

[BatFastard]

Well just noticed on Quidco they are offering £150 Cashback -

£139 handset (instead of £269 for upgrade) and im going to use the £150 to cancel my current contract.

By the time you get that £150, the new one will be out.

Longest it has ever taken me is a month.

Although as the saying goes - Good things come to those who wait!

 

[Gally]

Well its £250

Pmsl! I thought it was 499 for sim free.

 

[Turkish]

I sold my 8GB 3G for £200 at 4 launch.
