Is there any point in getting an iPhone 5 now? Or should I wait? - 1

I was thinking of getting one, but I heard the iPhone 6 could be out soon.

When are the rumoured release dates for the iPhone 6? And if so, do you think there will be any significant changes to it from the iPhone 5? Or will it be similar?

What should I do?

No one in the history of humankind has ever 'needed' an iPhone. There's no point in getting an iPhone5 now… Or at any other point in time. It will not love you, it will not make you a cup of tea when an unpopular Aunt visits… Nor will it ring an ambulance when you get appendicitis.

You may want something more modern and convenient that some 'bongos' and a bonfire… But the iPhone is the symbol of sheep in human form. They throng about the Albert Embankment every morning, 'gawking' into their 'pads', 'tablets' and 'pods' as they trip over steps, walk into each other… And look generally gormless.

If I were you… I would wait. I would wait until someone explains to you that owning an iPhone today is as 'cool' as owning an Amstrad computer was in the 70's… As in… Not. Your grandchildren (whether they exist or not) are just waiting to take the pi*s out of you.

I'm still using the iPhone 4 as I don't see why I should shell out another £500/£600 just yet, just wait and see what the 6 has to offer

Iphones are Over rated! Go for an android instead!

Mr R Swipe makes a Good point - everything Apple is quite cultish - whereas a Samsung phone (which will not hug or love you either ) for example is Only a feckin' phone!

Oh yeah! I nearly forget - a little rant Ha! The latest iphones and such hype is just a means for apple in conjunction with the phone companies to a create a type of mania!
It would be like Ford saying they would give you a "free" car - but you can Only buy their Petrol for the next two years at exorbitant prices!
:-) But my first computer was a commodore 64 - so maybe the Latest iphone does not do it for me! I would like a new computer though ha ha!

Depends on your personal preferences, I personally don't believe in all this "Apple sheep" nonsense because you could say the same thing about any company, it's just that society and technology need a "punchbag company", people need something to hate, whether that is Samusung or Apple, I have an Iphone 5, and it supports me in alot of different ways (do not confuse this with me RELYING on it), allthough Mr Swipes does have a good point, he is being very biased and generalising which usually results in an innacurate answer. (Not saying this to defend Apple).

The current generation of Samsung is probably better than the Iphone but it completely depends on what your needs and preferences are, even though I don't like Apple, my preferences and needs were more swayed towards the Iphone. I'm quite positive I'm one of the only few people who has an Iphone purely for it's function rather than just owning it for status. It's like the modern day Range Rover - most people only have it for status rather than actually going off road because it is Identified as one of "wealthy looking items".

Most Iphone models barely have any differences between them however have ridiculous price differences, you may aswell just get the Iphone 4s/5 now because you end up paying about £100+ more for something that has barely any changes of which may not apply to you.
