If I put my mind to it, I can save up enough over the next year to also renew once the iPhone 6 comes out (ETF, plus other fees, it'll probably cost me over $600USD), but, I dunno, I've never had to ask these questions. For the first time, I'm at a loss.
Thoughts??!??!
P.S. - before you ask, why all these fees, my company has me stationed in México, and Telcel pretty much charges you the phone as new even after 2.5 years of being with them and being out of contract for 6 months. Sucks, but oh well.
Normally I say, only you can decide this, no one else can tell you, blah blah blah. But this time I will give you some things to consider. If you have held onto the 4 for this long, then you do not strike me as the person who needs to have the newest truest as soon as it becomes available. If that is true, you could go get the 5S that has a longer screen, much better camera, much better processor, much faster, much lighter, etc etc. It also happens to be the newest at this moment....though it won't be once the 6 is released, which you mentioned in your original post as being a possibility. In my opinion the 5S is a worthy upgrade from the iphone 4.
BUT, if you are a person who feels you might regret this decision once the 6 is announced, given there is a chance that it could have a new form factor and other goodies, then I say wait. But a year is likely what you will be waiting and that is a long time when working with a very slow phone. Either way, best of luck!
