iPhone 4S - is it worth to buy now?

[Emzijs]

Hello.
I wanted to ask,is it worth to buy used iPhone 4S for about 150 euros(about 200dollars)?I want to give a shot for iOS,and i never had any Apple device.

Sure, but know that it is probably at the end or very near to the end of its cycle in regard to support.

That device is nearing it's useful life span as far as smart phones go. If I were a person wanting to "try" an iOS device, I wouldn't personally go any older than the iPhone 5, if for no other reason than the LTE capability.

I understand that 4S is outdated device,but i am planning to use it for a year.If i like it,i would consider for buying 5S and selling my Nexus 5

I'd say, get a 5/5c/5s. You'll probably spend about $100-$150 more but it'll have LTE and be supported a little bit longer.

I also agree

The 4s was a wonderful device and still is useful. My brother still uses his but if your buying it to test the iOS waters you will not get an accurate result due to its Un timely limitations

still a good device, worth having one till you find out how it works, I'm still using an iphone 4 and would keep on with it but it is getting very tired. my next phone will be a used 4s 'cos I can get one at the right money.
For the sum you mention you should be able to get a recent/new 16gb model.

Thank you for your replies,i will think about it.As i said,i just want to discover what's what about iOS and i can't buy a brand new 5/5C/5S and not even used,because they are quite expensive here,so i think 4S could be a right choice for ''introduction in iOS''.I am not planning to play games or what,just to see what's what and use mainstream programs - whatsapp,instagram,twitter etc.
