Getting an iPhone 4 right now?

[Kojil]

Hey there!

I've never owned an Apple device since this summer, when I've got myself a 16GB iPad 2. I'm very happy with it and I love iOS. Right now I want to switch my android phone to iOS.
I was thinking about getting an iPhone 4, what you guys think about that?
I mostly use my phone for calling, little browsing, messaging and to listen to music. Will the iPhone 4 be up to the task on a daily basis for my needs or should I wait and get an iPhone 4s?

Thanks for reading!

What?

Probably would be fine for your use, but I'd at least try and get a 4S. The 4 uses a very similar processor to the 3GS, and that's four year old tech. 4S will see massive improvements in general speed and apps

The 4 wouldn't really be worth it IMO. I'd go 4S minimum.

A 4 will do those things but a friend of mine just got a 4S yesterday. He was upgrading from a 4 and is very very happy with the device's speed.

Edit: I also own a 4S and have always been very satisfied with this device.

I loved my 4! But considering it's pretty much a legacy hardware now, and the 4S almost is, I would recommend going for the new form factor 5.

I'd really recommend you get the iPhone 4S at the very minimum. You can pick one up for 0$ under a two year contract or get a relatively affordable purchase through Craigslist/Ebay. There are now a quite a few available since people are selling them to get the iPhone 5c/s.

I would try to get at least a 4s. I'm currently using an iPhone 4 (upgrading to a 5s) and it runs VERY slow with iOS 6. I think the 4s is when they made the jump to a dual core processor so you literally get twice the processing power by going from the 4 to the 4s.

Thank you guys! Yeah, the single-core CPU is my main reason against the i4. I guess I will just save some money and either get a 4S or maybe a 5. Thanks again!
