Is there anything wrong with getting iPhone 4S in 2013?

Is there like those updates that will make it lag? My contract ends in a couple weeks and its a 2year contract so i will have the 4S for two more years. And i'm afraid by then it will be old i CAN't decide between the 4S or 5. (Never had an iPhone before)

Get the 5 if you can afford it. 4s is cool too

If you like that screen size then no problem
Otherwise get iphone 5
Or any android device

Unless you upgrade to the iOS7 beta, it won't be laggy. Wait until September, that's the estimated arrival time for the new iPhone. But if you can't wait that long get the 5. 4S is great, but the 5 has LTE. Plus, when iOS8 rolls around the 4S won't be able to handle the features as well, just like the iPhone 4 can barely handle iOS7.

Hi um I was new to the iPhone too and I'm currently using the iPhone 4S and I haven't had any problems never lags and the updates don't slow it do I would suggest 16 gb one over any thing because my biggest problem was memory plus iPhones are glass on both sides I would suggest you getting a case
