Hi,
I'm a college student looking to buy an iPhone. And like many college students, I'm looking to save a little money and I was wondering if it made sense to buy an iPhone 5 and pay $199 when I can get the 4S for $99.
Considering the following, is there a reason for me to get an iPhone 5?
The only argument I can make in favor of the iPhone 5 (for my needs) is that it is more durable than the 4S from what I've read and it will likely be supported for an extra year of software updates than the 4S.
I think I'd want the phone to work 2-3 years ideally.
Any thoughts?

- I've never owned a smartphone before and anything over my current phone would be a big upgrade.
- I don't really care about the screen-size increase, I think 3.5 is perfect for me.
- There's no LTE in college town. It's actually a very small town so I doubt it would get LTE anytime soon.
