Have they discontinued iphone 4s 16GB?
I've been having to wait until Febrary (next month) until I can finally get an iphone, I've had my hopes set on the 4s 16gb from Straighttalk.com which was the same price as the 8GB so it was good. Now when I looked again they only have the 8GB one available. I looked on Walmart.com and Apple.com and all they have is the 8GB version. Have they discontinued? Why?
I really think I need 16Gb, and the iphone 5 and up seem to be the only ones with that much now, I can't afford one.
So yeah, does anyone who has a Twitter or womthing heard about if they have discontinued the 16GB iphone 4s?
Thank you for the opportunity to answer your question.
Yes, the 16GB iPhone 4S has been discontinued.
This is because they have turned the iPhone 4S into the entry level iPhone. This is the same thing they have done every year they come out with a new iPhone.
The 8GB iPhone 4S replaces the 8GB iPhone 4.
They have also discontinued the iPhone 5 and replaced it with the iPhone 5C.
You can find the 16GB iPhone 4S as a refurbished product from some carriers but I sincerely doubt you will find one for StraightTalk.
The upgrade price for the iPhones are as follows for post paid (contract) carriers.
iPhone 4S 8GB $49.99 or Free depending on the current promotions.
iPhone 5C 16GB $99.99
iPhone 5S 16GB $199.99
iPhone 5S 32GB $299.99
iPhone 5S 64GB $399.99
Good luck with your search. If you choose to go the way of purchasing from a previous owner. Be sure the "Find My iPhone" iCloud setting is turned off before you finalize the purchase. As if you don't you will not be able to use the phone without knowing the previous owners iCloud Apple ID.
Thank you for your time.

IPhone 4S is only available in 8GB now officially. 16GB has been discontinued last year when iPhone 5C and 5S are released. If you need 16GB, you've to go for iPhone 5. Let me know if you want one at reasonable price.
- Will the iphone 4 be discontinued soon? I'm willing to purchase an iphone 4, but I've called many shops and they said that they've stopped selling the iphone 4 and only had the iphone 4s and iphone 5 in store. I'm not so keen on buying the iphone 4 if its going to be discontinued in a couple of months. Is it about time that shops stopped selling the iphone 4, as it came out in 2010, and there are 2 newer phones after this?
- Will a 16GB iPhone 5 have 16GB of space? I want to get an iPhone 5 and the 16GB will suffice, however I'm concerned about the actual space. I have a 32GB iPod Touch but according to iTunes the maximum space available is 28.5GB. Could I expect this sort of thing to happen on the iPhone?
- My aunt and uncle have the same Apple ID. I think they need separate ones, do they? I've told them to get separate ones in the event that they need to back up their phones or get new ones. Don't they need separate ones? They hardly back up their phones or hook up their iPhones to the computer.
- Is time lapse only available for the iPhone 5S? Or is it also for the (discontinued) iPhone 5? There are many videos around the web about time lapse in iOS 8, but they only seem to be showcasing the 5S, I want to know if it will be for the 5 too.
