Should I wait to buy an iPhone or buy one now?

First off, I know for a fact that I am going to get an iPhone, but I just can't decide if I want to buy one now or wait for iPhone 2.0. The main reason for my hesitancy is the lack of 3G. All of iPhone's other missing features don't really concern me because they can be fixed through software updates. If Apple is going to release a 3G iPhone within the next 6 months or so then I might want to wait, but if it's going to be a year or more, then I'll probably just buy one now and suck it up with EDGE. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas to when Apple might be planning to release a 3G iPhone? Any ideas that would help me make this decision would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Maybe you should get yer wife a V2 and keep the V1.
Are you saying he should get a new wife just to upgrade his iPhone? Or get a new wife for his existing wife? Depending on how much he likes his current wife, it may be simpler (and cheaper, frankly), simply to upgrade the phone and not the wife.

Is it good to buy an iPhone 4 32Gb right now ? (December 2013)

Hello guys.
I'd like to ask you if I do a good thing to buy an iPhone 4 32Gb right now. Other models are too expensive, and the 4 still looks a good device.
What do you think?

I wouldn't buy anything less than a 4S. The cost difference between a 4 and 4S can't be much.

This is correct. If you purchased the phone in the UK, then there is NO international warranty on the iPhone and the warranty is for the country of original purchase, so as well as the UK, it is EU wide.
The only way to get your phone repaired is to take it back to the UK to an Apple store there or to any other EU country where the warranty is valid.
Nothing else you can do.

F.Y.I...apple is not announcing anything about the iphone 4, they will announce the new line of the ipods, and probably the ios 4.1. That is about it.

Moving to australia - should I wait until i get there to buy an Ipad

Any advantage to waiting until I get to Australia to buy an Ipad?

If you are moving from the US the iPad 4 /Mini models in US
will not work outsde US on LTE unless you buy the Verizon/sprint model
The iPad 3generation does not work on LTE anywhere outside US
although 3 G will be fine on all models

Should I wait for 4900 processor before I buy?

I am buying gt72 with 4710 processor that is not much better than 4700, practically the same, and my old GT70 has 4700 processor
so perhaps only graphic card improved compared to my gt70? I wonder

What you have said has some truth in certain/uncommon cases, but with the laptop that you have, you can pretty much put any MXM card in and it will work.
The exact model of GT70 that you currently have is 100% compatible with the 970m and 980m.
If you're located in the US even better, if not no big deal. If you go to my thread over at notebook review forums, we can guide you through what you need to do.
It won't require any special vBIOS or special system BIOS or EC version. All you need to do is take your existing 770m heatsink and make the small (grind) shown in the pictures.
You will then update your system BIOS to MSI latest version available. Put the new card in, place thermal pads on heatsink, and paste the GPU. Boot and install NORMAL NVIDIA DRIVERS.
Now your laptop will be recognized as either a GT70 2QD or 2QE depending on if you buy a 970m or 980m.
You would be very surprised at how many people would buy your card. You can easily sell it on eBay for $200+. That would make your upgrade to a 970m around $250. $250 is a very small price to pay compared to $2000+. If you can't afford to self insure $250 upgrade, then you have no business buying a $2000+ laptop. Just sayin'.
Come over to the forums man. We will show you how to do it, and guide you through it.
EDIT: You will be using a Clevo MXM 970m or 980m. MSI cards are harder to find at the moment. No Asus cards are not compatible. Asus doesn't follow MXM standard size, and they have their own weird proprietary design, and in fact on their latest laptops they don't even use MXM! They are soldered garbage GPUs. Stay far away from Asus and Alienware from this point forward.

Replaced iphone with new one now lost app data

I had to get my iphone 4 replaced by apple because it locked up after the latest iOS upgraded to 4.2.9 They could not even get it to work on there computers when restoring it. So given a new iphone. Told me to synch it as new i phone which I did. Now all my game apps have me starting from beginning. I see that it still has my old phone listed in my itunes. Could i restore to that and get the data back. Will i lose any new apps I downloaded since then? I dont want to restore it from old restore if it was corrupt and caused the problem. Looking for my angry bird levels and cut the rope levels. Any ideas.

Restore from the most recent backup of your old phone to get your data back.
If you find that your data was corrupt, you can always go back to restoring as a new phone. You'll never know until you try.

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.

Curious about the iOS 5 software that is coming out. If I wait til its release to buy my iPhone 4 will it come with the iOS5 software already on it? or should I go ahead and buy my iPhone 4 and then update the software when the iOS5 is released?

Yea I would have to say wait until the release of IOS 5, because the phone will probably run it a lot smoother. I mean go ahead and buy the Iphone 4 if you are dying to have it, because you can just update it which is no big deal at all, but it would be the smarter thing to wait for the new updates.
And the networ issue as far as I am aware is fixed on the Verizon iPhones, so it really depends on which service you have.
- correct me if i am wrong
Have to disagree here, Apple have not even announced an iphone 5, it is pointless to speculate that we will see one or not see one until Apple actually releases a statement. ios was built and tested on the iphone 4 so there will not be any slowdown or laggyness compared to a phone that has not been released yet.
If we are advising potential apple product buyers then we should not be putting them off buying a iphone 4 on speculations alone. Just because apple have for the last few years released an iphone every june/july does not mean then have to stick to this approach.
Apple have not issued any statement regarding an iphone 5, until this time it does not exist, only in heresay on the internet.
Any one looking to get an iphone 4, to you i would say waiting until ios 5 is released is a personal choice, no matter if you wait or not you will be able to update via itunes. One way or another in the future you will have to do an ios update via itunes whether this is the 5.0 software or 5,2,1.
Please note that Apple are very closed mouthed about new hardware releases and potentially a new iphone could be round the corner, however there is no evidence to suggerst this, i.e Apple have not even mentioned an iphone 5 this year anything you hear towards the contrary is media spin thus far and speculation.
ios 5 was built and tested to work seamlessly on iphone 4, the beta software released to developers is being tested on iphone 4. Please do not listen to people telling you that the iphone 4 will not run this ios as well as a phone that does not exist yet. When iphone 5 launches it will most likely have dual processors and not until its launch will the next gen apps start appearing.

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.

Should I buy the iPhone 4S or to wait for the coming model?

I am the owner of a iPhone 4 and I'm thinking to buy the 4S but I don't know what to do... Should I wait for the coming model? I see it's not that different than the iPhone 4.
Thanks guys!

There are some major differences between the 4 and th 4S. The 4S has a faster processor, better camera, Siri, speech-to-text. Whether any of those things are important to you is something only you can determine. If you are happy with your current phone and none of those things matter to you, you should wait. Personally, I found the features of the 4S made it well worth the upgrade from the 4 for me.

My iphone just went dud...should I wait.

I have a first gen iphone. Pretty sure it just crapped itself. Did a hard reset and everything went to crap. Wont sync with itunes, got a funny white screen with purple lines through it (sometimes) most of the time it is just dead. With all the rumors about a new iphone should I just wait to see if one is coming out. I realize it could be 1 to 2 months away but I would hate to buy one now and a new one come out in 2 months. I can get an old phone and use the sim card...which is another problem in itself. Went to take the sim card out and when I stuck the paper clip in, something went "crack" Guess I get to take the phone a part to get that. Well let me know what you think or what you would do.....thanks

If I was you i'd just call AT&T and see if they'll replace it for free. If not, upgrade to the 3G. Don't believe what people say about a new iPhone, I think apple is more focused about getting a 3.0 update out then a brand new iPhone.

Should I buy or should I wait...

I want to buy the iphone 5S ( unlocked ) for my little brother, but the price is 649.
I don't know of I should wait until the iphone 6 comes out. The 5s might be 50-100 cheaper..would it?
I also plan on buying the iphone 6 for myself. What do you guys think?
Would the 5s drop in price?

The 5s is for my little brother, I never owned an iphone, yet I've always wanted one. I want a bigger screen, that's why I'm waiting for the iphone 6. I just wanna save a few bucks on the iPhone 5s if the price drops down when the iPhone 6 is released.

Should I wait to buy an iPhone or buy one now?
