Wanting to Get My First iPhone

Hey-
How can I get an idea what size iPhone 4S I should get?  Is there a way to get an idea not only on the processor size but also the plan type.  Right off I want the biggest to accomodate all the HD videos I take for work, but I really have no idea what size and pla I will need?
I have a Mobile Hotspot 3G now but I was going to get the MIFI 4G.  Does tethering do the same thing as a Mobile Hotspot does like the Verizon MIFI 4510 4G?  With the new iPhone 4S can you use your MacBook Pro wirelessly by setting up the iPhone a certain way (which I assume is what is called tethering)
this might get this question knocked of of this discusion, but does the iPhone 4S work best on the ATT network since they both came at the same time and that is the network the iPhone grew-up with. 
If the smartphones with the dual core processor are coming out, would you wait for this phone before getting an iPhone 4S (it looks like it has some new functions like Siri and it does have a dual core chip)
thanks for the help.

deggie-
it seems like you know a lot o what I want to now more of.  Is it possible to PM you to clarify some of what you stated?  It confusedme more. I am not aware that my cell phone has a bowser.  Does it have a browser because you can connect to the internet, is that what you mean by the browser?
What I realy need to state, the moderators will remove my post if I ask what I realy want to know because I am with Verizon, and my questions are about staying with them because my contracts for the cell phone and the MIFI (their mobile hotspot, but mine stopped working and it is 3G.)
I was told that Verizon, actually i have been told so much I am so confused if I should say with Verizon or go to ATT and tap into this ad I see for the Apple Store where they charge you full price but throw in some classes, pay for applecare (which I could get at Verizon) but I have never even used a smartphone or iPhone so the classes they talk about in thier ad appeal to me.  I am not talking about one-on-one but I gues they get it all set up for you before you leave.
However the Apple Store will not give me the New Every Two that Verizon used to have but is still giving it to customers who have not used theirs yet.  which I do, so if I go to ATT I would lose the New Every Two, rebate type money that they use as staying with Verizon.
I would not want to be using the iPhone as a hot spot and then get an important call. what do you do if that happens?  that is why I like the MIFI 4G and ATT has one like it, you take it with you, can put it on your dash on a road trip and use your mac or any laptop.  But if the iPhone can do the exact same thing I am not sure I need to pay another $50/mnth for the MIFI 4G.  If it does cost extra to add tethering to your iPhone then how do they know how many people are using it, do they go by how much GB you use per month?
A friend and I looked at her HTC Android phone under WiFi andit had her password and some other tuff which she did not know and it also said 4G, which was confusing because her provider is TMobile, but where she lives her reception is really bad, which is what I am dealing with now with my MIFI 3G so I am not sure of the 4G MIFI will work in the area I live.  On Verizon's map it says yes I will get G but there is a small area that everybody has a problem with their 4G reception so the maps are not always able to give the whole story.
I spend so much time, years it has been and I am still using this 7 year old flip MOTO phone.  I just need to do it.  Like you say the next iPhone will be 4G, but if I keep waiting I will be waiting until I am dead before I et a iPhone or smartphone.  So I am going to sign up for that service the Apple Store advertises, they will set your phone up, do some teachng, get you connecte to your new provider and plan, and then when that is all done I can cancel the plans I have now with Verizon.  Personally I think if I get an iPhone I should go to ATT.

  • Wife getting her first iPhone - adding to Mac with my phone

    My wife and I have been sharing the same user profile on our Mac. It's easy because I'm the only one with a mobile device. I should note that my daughter has an iTouch, she has her own user profile. Our iTunes Media folder is on the shared folder because we share music, but the iTunes on her profile is connected to her iTunes account.
    Wife is getting an iPhone. Does she need her own profile? Can she sync her phone to my iTunes? Will that give her the same apps and music as me? Is there any way for the iTunes on our shared profile keep track of two different phones? Can one iTunes use two different Apple IDs?
    Presuming we need a new profile, is there an easy way to clone profiles, so her new one looks like her old one?
    If we need two profiles, how do we deal with shared documents? I don't want to put them on the Shared folder, because the daughter shouldn't see them.

    Read here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495
    You can share iTunes content using your ID, but I suggest you get her her own ID for iCloud, FaceTime, & iMessage. Must be a verified email address. You can create an ID here. Do this first:

  • If you're getting your first iPhone 5, does it have to have the same carrier as your computer and T.V. at your house? Or could you get a different, cheaper carrier instead?

    I'm hopefully getting an iPhone 5 soon, & I'm just wondering if I could get a different carrier for the phone because I heard that AT&T is more expensive than the other carriers. At my house (for our computer & TV) we have AT&T. So, I'm just wondering if I could get a different carrier for the iPhone instead of AT&T.

    The iPhone is avaialble in the U.S. with the following major carriers:
    AT&T
    Verizon
    Sprint
    T-Mobile

  • Want to get find my iPhone on an iPhone 3G

    Browsing the Internet it appears tha iOS 6 upgrade is not recommended on this older hardware.

    Ignore this posted by lllaass:
    See if you can still set upt that feature by Use MoblileMe. See:
    http://en.kioskea.net/faq/10720-activate-find-my-iphone-on-iphone-3g-and-iphone- 3gs
    THERE IS NO MOBILEME...it doesn't exist anymore.
    As I said:
    Sorry, Find My Phone requires iCloud, which requires iOS 5.0 or higher. iOS 4.2.1 is the end of the line for your phone.

  • I'm in the process of getting my first iPhone and was wondering what the need of additional memory is for to a general user?

    I'm ready to join the iPhone faternity from years of android use, and I don't use my phone for work.  What advantage would having 32G or 64G be to me?

    Since the iPhone's storage cannot be increased, buy as much as you can afford.  Better to have and not need than need and not have.  Plus it will be worth more when you sell it.

  • Buying First iPhone Tomorrow Curious if I should get 16gb or 32gb

    Getting my first iPhone tomorrow and curious which would be the best choice.I've had a 30gb 5th Generation iPod for some time which is full... so should I go for the 32gb iPhone..?

    I should have posted this question some time ago. I just got my 32G 3Gs this morning and I'm very happy with it.
    I originally had reserved the 16 but when I actually got in line at the Apple store this morning I had second thoughts and forked over the extra $100 for the privilege to own the 32.
    This is the way I see it. Ultimately, I opted for the 32G because I didn't want to regret. The reason I was originally thinking 16 was because unless like your situation where people actually have a gazillion tunes, an extra 16 might be an overkill. So, looks like in your case, logic dictates that you should opt for the 32 because you've stated that you've filled up 30G on the ipod and that's just in music.
    Remember, the iphone 3Gs has video capability as well so you'll need space for that. I think the 32 was meant for people like yourself. You've actually managed to fill 30Gs. Unless you can tidy up and be efficient, meaning you offload pics/videos/movies etc. on a regular basis, you'll probably need the larger space. It's a crap shoot. But for you, unless you're going to trim your music collection, how are you going to get anything else on a 16? Bear in mind, also, if you want to have movies ripped on it, it's probably best to get the bigger drive. Hope this helps. $100 is a lot of money, but regretting if worse. Which way do you want to err?

  • I want to get the iphone 5s the day it comes out. Do you think the best way is to go to the apple store or wait at Verizon. I know when the iphone 5 came out here that they sold out at Verizon. The closest apple store is an hour away.

    I want to get the new iPhone 5s right when it comes out. I was just wondering what you guys thought. Should I go to the apple store (closet one is an hour away and always busy) or should I go to my local Verizon store. I know when the 5 came out last year they ran out of the iPhone 5. What do you think my best bet will be??

    There's really no way anyone can even guess, since we have no idea what sort of stock will be available and how Apple will distribute it. It's not impossible that your local Verizon store will not have any units at all on the first day, or they could have a quantify. We just can't know. If your Verizon store can't give you some idea, you'll just have to make your best guess. Note that people are already lining up at Apple Stores in at least a couple of cities according to reports, and started doing so earlier this week.

  • Planning on getting first iPhone

    Hi, I was planning on getting my first iPhone, but I'm not quit sure on how everything works. First, do I go to the apple store or at&t store first? Do I need some type of proof that I'm an at&t customer? Second, once I get the phone, do I have to take it to the at&t store to set it up? Also, what is the base data plan I need to get when I set it up? This is mostly all I was wondering about, if anyone has past experiences with buying one, please post any problems you may have found.
    ~thanks

    When iPhone first came out, it was a mess to get one, to activate it and get things set up. Now, it's a very simple process. You can get one and get it all set up and running right at the store. Apple, ATT, Best Buy, or even Wal-mart . . . AND as of this weekend, RADIO SHACK
    Friday March 26, 2010 03:01 PM EST; Category: iPhone
    Written by Eric Slivka
    AppleInsider reports that electronics retailer RadioShack is set to make a splash this weekend with an advertising blitz promoting the iPhone's availability in 3,000 of its 4,500 U.S. stores, pushing the company past AT&T and Best Buy to become the second-largest provider of iPhone points-of-sale behind Wal-Mart.
    According to the report, RadioShack has been rolling out iPhone availability to hundreds of stores each week this year following last November's announcement that it would begin carrying the device. And to coincide with the advertising push, which will see the iPhone featured on the front of RadioShack's newspaper circular, the company is also knocking a few dollars off the price of the device.
    For its part in this, Radio Shack plans to promote the entire family of iPhones on the cover of its March 28 circular, at what it claims are the lowest prices ever offered for the touchscreen handset nationwide -- essentially $5 off MSRP across the board, or $95 for the 8GB iPhone 3G, $195 for the 16GB iPhone 3GS, and $295 for the 32GB iPhone 3GS.
    Apple's prices for the iPhone come in at $99/$199/$299 with a two-year contract, while Wal-Mart offers only the iPhone 3GS models at $197/$297 price points and RadioShack appears to be ready to set the standard even slightly lower.
    RadioShack will reportedly also be promoting its Trade-In Program as a means for customers to replace their existing mobile phones with iPhones at discounted prices. Finally, sources indicate that RadioShack associates may receive as much as $30 or more in commissions for selling an iPhone, twice that of most other handsets and thus providing motivation for sales staff to encourage potential customers to consider an iPhone.
    Good luck. You'll love it.

  • Want to get new iphone and give my mom mine, how do we get her number into mine?

    I want to get the new iphone 5 when it comes out and I want to give my current iphone 4 to my mom. Now when I got this I had to register my phone number to it. How do I go about doing that for her when I get a new one? Thanks!

    Have her get a microSIM for the iPhone 4 from her cell provider.
    Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings and do so.
    Then have her connect your old phone to her computer and initialize it and set it up.

  • HT4528 If I want to go get a new iPhone at the apple store. Does the head person of my family plan have to come with me?

    Hey I want to get a new iPhone because my is all messed up. I have warranty and I know I have to pay a $100 dollars for a new one. But I want to go by myself because my mom is always busy. But she is the head of my family plan. Does she have to go with me? Also I have a black iPhone, but if I buy a new phone could I chose the white iPhone?

    Call them and ask.
    Call your carrier and ask.
    This isn't really a technical issue and as such is not appropriate for these forums.

  • Looking to purchase first iphone

    my husband and i are looking to get our first iphones, so i have a few questions.
    what size is good to get? I already have a 16gb touch. i think i might turn it back into the store for a discount on a ipod nano to keep all my songs on, then transfere all my apps to the new phone. good/bad idea? i only have about 20 apps on my touch. but over 1500 songs. i also have a few cartoon episodes of my son, to keep him occupid.
    also, i bought my touch only a few months before the next gen came out. i felt screwed. i know there is a rumor the new iphone is coming out june 18th. i really like the chat option on it. we are miltiary and just moved to hawaii. it would be great to chat with family when ever and where ever we are due to the time difference. do they have to have a iphone to do chat or can it be any camera? also i "thought" i remember hearing that if you purchased your touch with in so many days of the new gen coming out you could return it for a new gen. could this be true for the new iphone?
    thanks.

    Personally I would go with the 32GB model leaving you room for more apps, cartoons, childrens games, etc.
    I sold my Touch after I bought my iPhone, you might want to consider doing the same and then buy whatever you want to replace it. Keep in mind Apple has released new iPods each September for the last 5 years and they release a new one each year. If you bought yours " a few months" before you really didn't get "screwed".
    You have 14 days to return a product, less a 10% restocking fee. I would wait until Monday after the keynote speech at the WWDC to find out when the new iPhone will be available, unless you are concerned about getting an unlimited data plan, in which case you need to by before Monday.
