Which iPhone 4S model to buy?

Am I right in thinking that I only need a larger iPhone (32 or 64GB) if I intend to store a lot of music, video or photos on it? The amount of memory won't significantly affect eh perfomance of the phone itself?
Thanks

Thank you
I am just trying to do my research so I will no what to do when the uinlocked version becomes available in the U.S.
Regarding your response, I thought that the AT&T model don't support Band 1, which will be needed for 4G in Israel as this will soon be available?

  • Which iPhone 6 model should I buy to be sure it will work in Europe (Croatia)? Is it A1586?

    Which iPhone 6 model should I buy in USA to be sure it will work in Europe (Croatia)? Is it A1586? When I return to Croatia, I'll use it on T-mobile network which has 3G, 4G and LTE band.

    Read the post properly and see what he actually said in the post:-
    His post actually said "The A1586 is the model sold IN AND FOR CROATIA."
    This is not the same as that model being available for sale in the USA and when you go to the US you cannot pick and choose which model you buy.  The iPhone is country specific and you will have to purchase the model that is available in the USA.
    The USA has CDMA and GSM iPhones, so when you go you would want to purchase the GSM phone and probably the T-Mobile Contract free phone as no unlocked phones are currently for sale in the US.
    If you purchase the T-Mobile Contract free phone in the US, then is should work when you return to Croatia, but it will not work on 4G/LTE because of frequency differences in the US.  The phone should work okay on 3G, but not 4G or LTE.
    Also, remember that if you purchase any phone in the US you will have no warranty cover on your return to Croatia - iPhone warranty is not international and is country specific, so if you have a problem with the phone, you are looking at flying back to the US to get the phone fixed.
    The phone will probably work in Croatia, but there is no guarantee of this and it will not work on the 4G LTE that is available there.

  • Which iPhone 5 Model do i have to buy in the US when i want to use it in Germany as well?

    Hey,
    right now i am in New York and i want to buy the iPhone 5.
    I want to use it here because im staying for 4 months but i also want to use it back in Germany with all the features ( 4G LTE, etc).
    Which iPhone model do i have to buy? A1429 GSM? Do they even sell this one here and can i use it in an american network?
    Thanks!!

    Apple has made no announcement about the release date of any unlocked iphones.
    Currently no US iphones are unlocked.

  • Which Iphone 5S model will work in both USA and Israel on LTE?

    Which IPhone 5S work in both USA and Israel with LTE? Is it the European or American model? GSM or CDMA?

    The issue is what channels would be used varries by nation to nation.  Since I have very limited access to Jordan and Egypt it really doesn't matter to the average Israeli company what will work there.  There is currently Orange's LTE in Israel which I read/hear conflicting information as to which LTE bands are being used.  Further then there is a new LTE slighted from Cellcom/Golan/Pelephone that I'm curious to see what bands they will be using.  From this information it would be possible to know which is the one to use for LTE.
    Realistically it would seem that getting a Verizon/Sprint would be the best route, in that you would have a working set for America, plus foreign bands for Europe and hopefully Israel.  Orange already sells the iPhone in Israel, but it doesn't indicate which model it uses.
    Since the iPhone in Israel is so much more expensive, it's still cheaper to buy in Israel and get serviced in the USA if need be.  But realistically these phones never really have problems that can't be solved so dificultly that I would worry about having to go back to the US. As from my understanding the warranties have to be honored globally.  Just as if I have a problem with my computer I don't have to go back to the US to get it fixed.

    You buy the unlocked, no contract phone found at all apple retail stores.
    Be aware that warranty coverage is only good in the country of origin.  If your phone needs service you'll need to bring it back to the US.

  • IPhone 6 Model A1549 problem

    Hi to all! I just want to ask for a clear explanation of this unexpected thing happen with my iphone 6 model A1549. I purchased iPhone 6 model A1549, an open line unit. I travel back here in the Philippines using my purchased iPhone 6. I used sim card (GLOBE) in my iPhone 6 and found it works. My problem now, though my iphone 6 model is not supported model for the philippines which is supposed to be the model A1586. Why my phone can still detect Globe Networks though the signal always changed from 3G to LTE then LTE to 3G. Also my signal always dropped. Can someone help me to understand the use of frequencies per iphone model which is dedicated only for    each countries.

    Hi mac_kutingting,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you are looking for more information on which iPhone 6 models and LTE frequency bands are supported by which providers in which countries, you may find the following page helpful (apologies if you have already seen it):

  • Which iPhone model can be bought from Japan store and SIMfree supporting 4G network in Oman?

    I am in Korea but found the iPhones in Japan store are the cheapest. I am a bit confused which model to buy and I would like to use it in Oman as I am going back permenently in Nov end. Also, I could not check which model supports 4G network in Oman as we don't have Apple Store in Oman !
    please help.

    You can use the phone in Sweden if it is unlocked, but you won't get a 4G signal because all the frequencies vary greatly between countries, especially European countries and Australia/New Zealand, so it won't be compatible and they can't cover all frequencies in one phone, which is why different models are sold in different countries.
    If you want to use your phone in Sweden on the Swedish 4G networks, then you'll have to purchase a new phone in Sweden that will work with the 4G network.  Your other phone will work, but NOT on 4G.

  • How to pick the iPhone 5 model (CDMA, GSM, ETC...) when buying it unlocked online?

    Hello,
    I want to buy an unlocked iPhone 5 to be used with Virgin Mobile Canada. VMC uses CDMA network, and as some of you may know, iPhone 5 has 3 different models:
    GSM model A1428*: UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 4 and 17)
    CDMA model A1429*: CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B (800, 1900, 2100 MHz); UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 3, 5, 13, 25)
    GSM model A1429*: UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 3, 5)
    So the first one, Model A1428 would not work with VMC i guess, right?
    That leaves me with the other 2 models. The second one works with CDMA and GSM and LTE, so If i get this model, it should work on CDMA networks (Virgin Mobile) and GSM too (eg. Rogers), right? And LTE would work on both networks, right? (also whats the difference between the LTE bands? like what does it mean?)
    So Virgin Mobile itself supplies customers with the A1429 model right (and so does Bell)? While Rogers supplied the A1428 one, right?
    Finally, how do i PICK which model to buy? I mean when i go on apple.ca and "Buy iPhone", it doesnt ask to pick a model, so how do i specify which one to buy?
    Thank you all (btw, please dont pay attention to my weird username as I once used this forum before and entered the topic in the username field, and it doesnt really give an option to change it in my profile, haha)
    Thanks again!

    But i actually asked them, and they said that its fine to bring my own iPhone. I'm looking into a prepaid plan (that come with some data), so it shouldnt make a difference, because theyre gonna activate the sim card and ill go from there with top ups (so basically they wont even know what phone i'm using).
    So anyway i asked them, and they said its ok. but i then thought of the whole cdma thing

  • The unlocked IPhone 4S models will not be available until November, Why is that? Why would Apple do that? I should be able to buy a factory unlocked Apple iPhone 4S when it comes out! Why is my interests being put last and Sprint, Verizon

    The unlocked IPhone 4S models will not be available until November, Why is that? Why would Apple do that? I should be able to buy a factory unlocked Apple iPhone 4S when it comes out! I travel all over the world, and so that is why I need one like that. It is unfair to the consumer, and frankly turning away customers like myself willing to pay high dollar to Apple for their product, who can I speak with to complain about this, because I know their are factory unlocked iPhone 4S' sitting in a warehouse somewhere just waiting to be shipped, and I want one.  I know why, cause Apple signed contracts with each carrier so the carrier could increase their sales making customers sign 2 year contracts, I get it, I own my own business, but the delay of releasing factory unlocked ones is just not right and I should be able to buy one without having to buy it over in the UK where it is unlocked when it comes out right away, I should be able to buy it in my own country!  These business practices we practice in the US need to stop, their is a demand that needs to be met with consumers like myself who don't need subsidized iPhone's with 2 year contracts with carriers and don't mine paying full price for an unlocked one, it is unethical in a sense, forcing the customer to buy it with a carrier contract and NOT giving the customer the option to buy it full price and own it themselves, OR, making the consumer wait a month for that option to be available.  THEY SHOULD BE RELEASED AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!!  THAT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO!!!!!!
    Apple can contact me and I will proudly pay for one.  But making me wait a month for an unlocked one, puts AT&T, Sprint & Verizon's interests before mine, and that is not right, for it is MY money that keeps you guys in business, so my best interests should come first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I understand your frustration, but when any form of rationing is required you have to prioritise. The number of unlocked vs packaged phones will be quite small and the number of unlocked buyers wishing to upgrade immediately will be smaller still. Against this you have the corporations sharing $billions between them.
    It would, you're correct, have been fairer to release all at the same time, but fairer doesn't come into it: it's business.

  • Which iPhone should I buy?

    I am due an upgrade from my LG phone... and I am stuck regarding which iPhone to buy.
    The iPhone 3GS is cheaper, yet will they stop making updates for it soon? If I buy it on a 2 year contract, will I want the old iPhone for this long?
    Is it really worth paying the extra money for an iPhone 4?!
    Help!

  • I want to buy unlocked iPhone 5 from the Canada Apple store,do they sell the unlocked iPhone 5 model A1429CDMA?

    Does the Canada Apple store sell the unlocked iPhone 5 model A1429CDMA?

    Canada sells unlocked iPhone 5's.  Why not check this out for yourself by going to the Apple store website and then changing the country to Canada?
    You can't purchase it from the store online though - you'll have to travel directly to Canada yourself to buy it because there is no international shipping available.
