Is is still worth it getting an iphone 4s?

I want a new phone, and its either samsung galaxy s3, which i know is to compete with the iphone 5, but that will be super expensive contract, so is there still any point getting the iphone 4s? As soon as the iphone5 comes out, will the iphone 4s disappear as quick as the iphone 3 did when 4 came out?

If you are going to buy an Apple iPhone 4S that is really worth for you due to its features and technologies.

I was faced with exactly the same choice only a few weeks ago, and I settled with the SIII. Must admit, couldn't be happier. The thing is, my mobile operator heavily advertises 2 years warranty on all of their phones, but it turned out that for the iPhone (which already cost double the SIII), I had to pay an extra 80$! What a rip off!

The iPhone 5 will be just as, if not more, locked down than the iPhone 4S, so personally, now that I've experienced Android, I would never buy it. Plus, the iPhone 5 will have a new connector, and no existing accessories will work with it. The SIII? Oh, it has MicroUSB, the standard for phones and many other things nowdays. You can even hook it up directly to your TV using a cable, or using Wi-Fi. If you want to do that with an iPhone, you need to get a 100$ Apple TV aswell…

The iPhone 4S won't disappear, but the iPhone 3GS which is currently sold on the cheap, will. It will still probably cost more than the Galaxy SIII.

From what I've read in several blogs and forums, it seems that iPhone 5 will be released in late September this year. Which will make iPhone 4S looks obsolete (iPhone 5 would likely be having huge upgrade from the 4S).It's also possible that the first batch of iPhone 5 would be having several bugs which will be patched in the next few months.

However, it depends on your needs. SIII would be good only if you've been familiar with the Android while iPhone with iOS would remove any hassle in immediate use, especially if you've previously had another iPhone.

If the price of the new iPhone 5 is bugging you, I still recommend you to wait until its release since there'll be a price knockdown for older model if the newer one has arrived. Don't mind about iPhone 4S' disappearance (especially in Asia) because it won't happened in such a short time. I'm pretty sure about this, but you must be quick since a lot of low-price seekers might be waiting for the similar thing out there (it would be those buyers who made the 4S disappeared besides discontinued production).

Finally, quickly save your money, and when the clock strikes, hunt the 4S down.

The iphone 4s will stock around for 2 more yrs just like the 3gs did. So it won't disappear. I would suggest to wait for the iphone 5 which will come out in a month and then decide between the s3 and the iphone 5.
