Does it make sense to buy an iphone 4s?

So i want to get a new phone and it will either be through metro or virgin but i don't know what phone to get! I was thinking an iphone but it would be the oldest version of the iphone 4s 8gb and i don't know if that makes sense since the iphone is changing so often! What do you guys think? Get an iphone or another 4g phone?

If you anticipate using it for the internet, I would go with a 5 minimum since it's an LTE phone (faster downloads). The 4s is a 3g phone (it's 4g on AT&T but not 4gLTE). If you don't anticipate using much data, the 4S would be fine.

An iPhone is expensive especially on pre pay. I WOULDnt get it Because then you WOULD want a new phone when another iPhone or Samsung phone come out. Are there any other options for you! I think having a 300-400 phone that's not on Contract is ridiculous. Get you something like straight talk. B.Y.O.D PROGRAM THEY HAVE! ON STRAIGHT TALK I DON't KNOW IF you HEARD OF IT BUT IF you HAVE A PHONE WITH A SIM CARD SLOT THAT'S ON TMOBILE OR AT&T you COULD BUY A SIM CARD FROM STRAIGHT. ITS 25 DOLLARS. THEY WILL SENT U THE CARD AND INSTRUCTIONS. TO ACTIVATE THE PHONE you WOULD HAVE TO GO TO Wi-Fi AND CHANGE THE APN WHICH IS EASY. JUST PUT THE CODE IN AND THEN THERE you GO. IF you WANT A PHONE FOR STRAIGHT TALK BYOD, JUST GET you A PHONE FROM EBAY! OR ANY WHERE you CHOOSE. STRAIGHT TALK HAS UNLIMITED TALK TEXT WEB PICTURE TEXT All FOR 45 A MONTH: )
OR IF you DON't WANT TO you COULD JUST GET A PHONE FROM WALMART. STRAIGHT TALK OF COURSE and PURCHASE U A SAMSUNG CENTRA WHICH IS 99 DOLLARS FOR THE PHONE 45 A MONTH FOR THE PLAN. THATS WHAT I WOULD DO IF I WAS N YOUR SITUATION.
