Is this iphone even worth it?

I want an iphone really bad, but my parents need it to be under 200$ with no contract that will work with a prepaid htc plan.
this is the only phone i could find, but its pretty outdated and i don't know if it will run apps like temple run, youtube, etc.
any thoughts?

Go through virgin mobile! They have good phones. & if not that try boost mobile. Not any of those phone. I've been using prepaid for years. & my mom makes me. But I finally got on a plan & got a iPhone 4.iPhones suck!

Yes it is

  • Will it be stupid to get the iPhone 4s even when the iPhone 5 comes out? I mean, how much better can it get? And lots of other people will still have the 4, and 4s! Right? And it's cheaper.
  • Why is the iphone 5 (& even the iphone 4) so expensive? I need a new mobile phone as I have a very old nokia. I have been looking at getting an iphone as lots of people at work are saying how good it is. However, I can't believe how pricey it is. I only want a phone for texting and phoning and maybe doing a bit on the internet and a few apps. I may just get the nokia lumia as it seems cheaper and the reviews look good. Has anyone got any advice and also can someone please explain why the iphone is so expensive?
  • Is upgrading to the iPhone 5 even worth it? I have an iPhone 4 right now. My phone has been getting slower and slower lately and I feel compelled to upgrade, but it almost doesn't seem worth it to me. Aside from Siri (which I can live without), what improvements come with the iPhone 5?
  • Is it worth it to even buy the iPhone 5? I have the iPhone 4S which works great for me, but is it really worth the extra time and money to get a bigger screen, and have my phone weigh less?
