At the age of 11, should i buy a Iphone 5 or a Ipad 2?

I am at the age of 10. Soon i will become 11 and my dad promised me that he would get me a Iphone or whatever. First, i did want a Iphone but now to think of it, i am also kind of interested, especially the Ipad 2. And now, i cant decide which one i want for my B'day. That why i was wondering if maybe people could give me some ideas on what to buy. Here are some Pro's and cons about the Ipad and Iphone:
Pro's on Ipad:
Its got a big screen
You can do lots of things on it
you can engrave on it
Its a bit cheaper then the Iphone 5.
Cons of Ipad:
It is very big to carry round
you cant call on it
you cant text on it
It hasnt got as many things that you can do on Iphone
Pros of Iphone:
It's well put together
You can do lots and lots of things on it
It's faster then Ipad even though it is much thinner and smaller
you can easily use it with 1 hand
I can technically take it anywhere i want.
Cons of Iphone:
It is kind of more expensive then the Ipad
It could break quite easily if it fell on the floor as it is very thin
As you can see, i have got more Pro's on the Iphone then the Ipad and less cons on the Iphone then on the Ipad. My parents think that i should get a Ipad but i am not sure. As you can see, im stuck now. Please help me out and write your ideas in the answer box. Thank you

Neither! You should go for the iPad mini instead. Seeing that you're barely turning 11, the size should give you enough screen estate. It's better than an iPad2 in terms of specs and plus it's then both!
But to be honest, you're still too young to be carrying anything that's more than $50 dollars in value. However, seeing that you're only ten yet able to log in the Apple Support Community and post something that is fairly well written and thought out (with bullet points!), I guess you're capable of taking care of such a device.
Enjoy your birthday and your present (whatever it may happen to be)!

  • Should You Buy An iPhone Now, Or Wait For The Next One?

    Great article by HuffPost Tech.
    The most common thing I get asked whenever I tell anyone I'm a tech writer is some version of the question: "Should I get a new iPhone now, or should I wait until the next one comes out?" It is as though my business card should read not "Technology Writer," and instead "iPhone Psychic"
    Not that I am not happy to prognosticate! And in that spirit, here's a look at the questions on everyone's mind: Should I buy an iPhone now? And if not now, when?
    First, let me say that I am fascinated by the peculiar kind of panic that I encounter in people I meet who are deciding on a purchase date for their next Apple phone. I call it the iSenberg Uncertainty Principle: Potential iPhone buyers exist in a constant state of anxiety, perpetually worrying that purchasing an iPhone on any given day will mean that they will miss out on the inevitably cooler version with the mind-blowing new features soon down the road. The Cupertino Sword of Damocles constantly dangles over their heads, threatening to pierce them with unhipness and iShame.
    Here is one solid piece of advice I can offer to help you avoid the Sword: Do not buy any new iPhone until September. Apple has an annual media conference each September, and every blog with the word 'Mac' in the title is reporting that Steve Jobs is going to do his black turtleneck thing and introduce some kind of new iPhone there. The September Media conference is generally used to present the new iPods, but as All Things Digital reports, Apple plans to "commandeer" the conference for its official iPhone announcement.
    Apple is long overdue to release its new iPhone anyway, if history is any indication. Look at this handy little timeline:
    June 2007: original iPhone released
    June 2008: iPhone 3G released
    June 2009: iPhone 3Gs released
    June 2010: iPhone 4 released
    June 2011: Nothing!
    In other words, the 5th generation iPhone is already a month late, so it makes sense that the rumors are swirling. Apple's tardiness can be explained by the fact they've actually already released two iPhones in 2011 -- the Verizon iPhone in February and the unlocked iPhone 4 in June. Their schedule is all screwy, like a traveler trying to get over jet lag. But all signs point to them getting right with a September Apple iPhone release.
    So what jaw-dropping new feature will this iPhone boast? We're hearing that the "iPhone 4S," as it is rumored to be called, won't be the dramatic re-imagining that many of us have come to expect with each new iPhone release. Tech blogThis Is My Next thinks that it will be thinner and lighter, and that it will run on a new chip; the New York Times thinks that it will be the same dimensions as the iPhone 4 but that it will be cheaper. Bloomberg agrees with This Is My Next on the chip and adds that the rear-facing camera will upgrade to 8 megapixels from 5 megapixels.
    Now, even if you're just a normal, non-geek iPhone user, who doesn't care if the rear-facing camera doubles its megapixel count, or if Apple has changed the manufacturer of its data processors, or whatever, you still need to at least wait for the alleged iPhone announcement, and here's why: if history is any indicator, the introduction of a newer iPhone model is accompanied by a drop in price of older iPhone models. When the iPhone 3GS was announced, the price of the iPhone 3G dropped by $100; when the iPhone 4 was announced, the price of an iPhone 3GS also dropped by $100. Even if you know that you're not going to drop $400 on whatever iPhone Apple begins peddling in September, there is no sense in paying more money for an iPhone 4 or 3Gs now when the base price of both seem like locks to drop in two months.
    But before we start fantasizing, how can we be so certain that Jobs is even going to announce an iPhone in September if Apple hasn't so much as indicated such a thing? How do we know that all of these rumors weren't just started by lonely nerds like me and my co-workers emailing each other from our mother's basements, inciting iPhone rumors all on our own?
    Well, first of all, I don't live with my mother; and second of all, the new iPhone rumors have sprung forth from two reliable sources held in high journalistic regard.
    The first is esteemed, award-winning tech journalist John Paczkowski of All Things Digital, who blazed iPhone prognostication trails by predicting back in April that an updated iPhone 4 would be unveiled at the September Apple music Conference and has steadfastly maintained the claim is true through June and into July. In fact, he confirmed as recently as July 5 that a shiny new iPhone looked to be in the early stages of supply chain production, and that people close to the company still believe that the new iPhone would be ready for the Jobs treatment in September.
    So there is Reliable Source One.
    Reliable Source Number Two is the Wall Street Journal, not exactly a one-laptop operation. The paper gives "the end of September" as a target launch date, which squares up with both Paczkowski's prediction of a September announcement and release. This doesn't even mention This Is My Next's separate prediction of a September release, nor 9to5Mac reporting that there are going to be two new iPhones in September, one low-end and high-end. But now we're falling down the rabbit hole and into the basement again, so let's focus:
    There is likely to be a new iPhone in September. It will likely affect the price of all the other iPhones. The iPhones available now -- the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 3Gs -- will probably be cheaper in two months. Unless you drop your current iPhone in a pool, a bathtub or a volcano, do not buy an iPhone until Steve Jobs opens his beautiful brilliant mouth at the Apple conference in early September. When the post-turtleneckian dust settles, we'll have a clearer picture of whether or not this rumored new iPhone is worth the money. And then we can talk about--well, whether or not you should buy an iPhone now, or wait until the next one comes out.

    Apple has two prototypes out testing now.  One is a thinner totally redesigned case.  The problem with it is that Foxconn can't seem to build it.  Hence the delay.  The other prototype uses the existing case, but with updated (read dual core) internals.  If they can get production up by September the first phone will be released and will be the iPhone 5.  If they cannot, then the second prototype will be released as the iPhone 4GS.

  • Should i buy an iphone 4s or wait for the iphone 5 to come out

    hi, just wanted to know if i should buy an iphone 4s or simply wait for the iphone 5 to come out... Do you know what is going to be new on the iphone? is there going to be another iPhone?

    We only know what information Apple has released. The only real thing released is iOS 6 will be out in the Fall. We have heard no official announcement as to the date of that release, nor have we received any announcement of the release of a new iPhone, no matter what they want to call it. Your decision to purchase a phone has to be based on your need at the time and what is available.

  • Which refurbished iPhone should I buy to work with my iPad 3 wifi.  Will I need a personal hotspot?

    Which refurbished iPhone should I buy to work with my refurbished iPad 3 wifi?  Will I need a personal hotspot?

    I'm having the same problem.  The iPad has never roamed particularly well between access points, but under IOS6 it doesn't seem to roam at all, it simply sticks with the access point it first connected with.
    I don't have a solution for you, unfortunately.

  • I am in the US and I want to buy an Iphone 5 but I will return to Colombia in two years.

    Iphone 5 does not have a sim card. Does the Iphone 5 will come later with a sim card? do I wait or do I buy an Iphone 4?

    Check the tech specs carefully - http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
    The CDMA iPhones are sold with contracts with either Verizon or Sprint.  They will only work with those CDMA networks.  Their GSM radios will allow roaming in foreign countries, or may be unlocked (if certain contract conditions are met) so they can be used with local nano-SIM cards & plans when travelling outside of the USA (to avoid roaming fees when out of the USA).
    The model A1428 GSM only iPhone 5 model is sold for use with AT&T.  When a factory unlocked version of this becomes available (whenever that is) it could also be used with T-mobile or any GSM provider, but the LTE frequencies may not work with carriers outside of the USA.
    The model A1429 GSM only iPhone 5 is intended for use in Europe, Asia and other places that use different LTE frequencies thatn AT&T does here.  That model is not even expected to be sold here in the USA, as there'd be no carrier to use it with for LTE data.
    I can understand your thinking long term, but honestly, in two years, the iPhone 5 is going to be very, very old news.  We may even be on the iPhone 7 (if they keep naming them in numeric series) or who knows what by then.  So if you are going to be in the USA, why not just get what will work best for you here for those two years, and just plan on retiring it and upgraded when you go back home (or wherever life takes you by then).  You don't even know what changes or upgrades to the networks in Colombia will bring by then - LTE may already be old news and 5g or whatever next is coming may be rolling out.

  • Im sorry to ask this question but am new too the imac world. Should i BUY intigo AV as suggested by apple and my bank has offered me something called Rapport!!! Any advice very much appreciated thanks

    You do not want Rapport...
    Read a post from one of their representatives > Trusteer's Rapport Software: Apple Support Communities
    If you want to install a/v software, use either ClamXav or Sophos.

  • Difference between the G4 and G5. Should I buy the G5

    What kind of difference is there between a G4 duel 1.25 vs. G5 duel 1.8 machines? I have the G4 and wonder if I should buy the G5(used).. Is the G5 that much faster? Such as rendering video.

    G5 is much faster, higher clock and faster FSB.
    BTW
    Duel = ritual combat
    Dual = two

  • Where should I buy my iphone?

    I usually buy stuff on Amazon, but since iphone 4 isn't for sale there, what is the best place to buy it? Should I go with AT&T for my phone service?

    I would try Apple as well. And you would have to go with AT&T for your phone service.

  • Should I buy a 32GB or 64GB iPad 4? I will use it mainly to store photos, surf web, email.

    I have two Nikon cameras, a D3X and a D600 and use Lightroom 4 to process my photos on my MacBook Pro.  I want to use the iPad to show my portfolios to others as well as to enjoy looking at what I think are my best photos.  I currently have 40K+photos in the LR Catalog but would probably pick out  a thousand or so for the iPad.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    Also, any suggestions on what I should get to go with the iPad?  A friend suggested some binder that Brookstone sells. I haven't researched it yet so am not sure what it is.
    Thanks.

    Suggest you get a 64GB.

    How much content will fit on my iPod or iPhone?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1867
    There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
    The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
    Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
    Another option:

  • Should I buy an iPhone?

    Hopefully I am posting this in the right forum. If not, please excuse this and accept my sincerest apologies...
    Anyways, I am in a dilemma. For awhile now, I have wanted to purchase an iPod as I have a huge interest in music (I'm a musician/songwriter/producer) and perhaps videos. Namely, I have had my eyes on the iPod 80 GB. Having over 4,000 songs on my iTunes playlist alone - not even counting my countless hundreds of other CD's that aren't even imported - I figured that would be the perfect thing, as well as using it for videos and photos.
    Then came the iPhone.
    After watching the video tutorials and everything about it on Apple, I have been absolutely blown away at what it can do. Even though I don't use my current cell phone too much, the features on this thing are AMAZING; though I realize I'm preaching to the choir on that. But my question is... seeing as the iPhone costs $270 more than the 80 GB iPod, is the price difference worth paying to get everything else that the iPod doesn't have? I mean, sure, I can use the internet on my 20 inch iMac to use Google Map and the other stuff it comes with instead of doing it on a 3.5 inch screen, but some of this stuff that this thing has is just SO freaking tempting that it's almost impossible to resist the thought of dropping $600 on one.
    What should I do and what would you think would be the wise purchase in the long-run? Unfortunately, I do not have the financial resources to purchase both, but any help on making this tough decision would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
    Edit/Delete Message

    I have both an 80 GB iPod and a new 8 GB iPhone. Understanding that the iPhone features may improve through software releases, here are what I see as critical differences:
    Both have sync via iTunes over USB with calendar, contacts, music, video, and photos.
    iPod has disk mode which allows using the iPod as an external drive, the iPhone does not. I find this useful and wish the iPhone could also do that.
    iPhone allows creation of content on the fly - notes, contacts, calendar events - the iPod does not. I'm guessing this will be useful when traveling.
    The 30GB screen is not big enough to watch wide-screen movies. I bought an external pair of video goggles for this. It looks like the iPhone screen is big enough.
    The 80 GB iPod comes with a sleeve. The iPhone does not. Although I've found the 80 GB iPod sleeve works fine with the iPhone.
    I expect I will travel with both but I will keep the iPhone in my pocket and the iPod in my suitcase or carry-on.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have an iPad, should I buy an iPhone?

    I have an iPad 2 and I really think I want an iPhone 4S. I feel like it will almost be redundant to have two devices with generally the same operating system. I just want someone's opinion as to whether I would be happier with an iPad and a phone with a different operating system, or an iPad and an iPhone (if I should get an iPhone, please tell me reasons and benefits of having both.) thanks!
    Also on a side note, if I were to jailbreak an iPhone, is there a tethering app or something that I can use to tether my iPad to my iPhone for free? I rooted my android and downloaded a tether app and now I can tether for free and I really hope I can with iOS also.

    I think so. Having a fluid OS between two devices is a major plus imo. Especially now with icloud, imessaging, and other wireless features with iOS5. It's not really about being redundant... it's more about being able to transition between the ipad and iphone with seamless effort. Whatever info you change on one, automatically changes on the other. If anything, redunancy is almost eliminated. And yes you can tether after jailbreaking.
