I already have an iPod touch but want an iPhone, is it worth it?

For Christmas last year I got the iPod touch 5th generation, and I'm very happy with it, but now everyone is getting iPhones, so i was wondering if it was worth me getting one.

My contract runs out in July so I have to get a new phone then anyway, and an iPhone would probably on be 2 or 3 pounds a month more than an alternative smartphone.

I would just get a basic iPhone 4 8g version (possibly refurbished if that was cheaper), as not to waste my money, and I'm sure I would still use my iPod a lot as it has more memory and is a lot better for most things, except you can't text, call or use 3g on an iPod.

I know I shouldn't just get a phone to fit in but, being a teenager, I do feel left out not having an iPhone, and I'm sure other people do judge me for not having an iPhone.

I honestly don't even know if my parents would allow me to have an iPhone anyway, because I spent a lot of my money on my iPod recently, but if they did would it be worth it?

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my question, and if I can I'd be happy to help you in return.

Trust me, an android phone is leagues ahead of the peasantly iphone. The samsung galaxy s2 is the perfect phone.had it for 2 years now and its still perfect

I don't think it is worth getting an iphone as well as an ipod touch. The only added benefit would be that you can call from it, and obviousy so you would "fit in". If i were you either sell the ipod and get an iphone if thats what you really want or it'd be better to get another phone and have the ipod as well and then you have the best of both. Hope this helps.

Not really. You can get an app on your iPod called textpluscalls that lets you text and call. If you do get a phone, do not get an iPhone 8g. Try a little bit higher because you will use the memory in probably a month or so. Refurbished is fine.

Believe me i know. I live in a very wealthy community and every single person here has an iphone. I had an ipod but it just wasn't the same and i always felt like people judged me for not having one. I begged my parents for about a year and last month, they finally caved and got me one! (i've had the same phone for 4 years and they just never wanted to get me a new phone aka the iphone and so i got my new phone last month) i can honestly say it is my favorite thing in the world and i'm very responsible with it and i never let it out of my sight. I didn't think itd be all that great when i got it, but as soon as you get it youll know the feeling. I think it is definitely worth it and i think you should get one. (not to mention that i felt a lot more confident about if people see my phone or not so i almost feel like i fit in more even though looking back on it, nobody really payed attention to what phone i had)

  • Should I get an iPod Touch if I already have an iPhone 5? Have a 64GB iPhone 5 that isn't even have full. But can't resist the awesome red iPod Touch 5 lol. Have enough money to get one btw.
  • Should I buy an ipod touch 5th gen.or buy an iphone 5 and use it as an ipod? I was wondering what would be better to have an ipod or to have an iphone 5 and use it as an ipod, but is it worth spending more money for the iphone 5 to use as an ipod. I currently have an ipod touch 4g, o and by the way i would like either the ipod 5g in 64gb or the iphone 5 in 64gb.
  • Should i buy an ipod touch 5gen or an iphone 4s? Which is more worth it? Hi. So i can't still figure out what to buy, Ipod touch 5th gen is newer and the iphone 4s was made 2 years ago. The ipod touch 5 has the resemblance of an iphone 5s and has hq camera while the iphone 4s also have a good one. The iphone 4 have a sim so you can connect anywhere and surf while the ipod touch 5g only works in Wi-Fi/hotspots. But i don't text that much.there's an i messge on both. What should i buy?
  • Is the iPod touch 5g worth getting or iPhone 4? My friend is thinking of selling me his iPhone 4 without the phone part working for 80 dollars. So it is pretty much a iPod 4g. Or should I buy the iPod 5g for 300$?
