My ipod touch 4g just cracked, should i buy a new one or get an iphone?

My ipod literally JUST cracked.pieces are falling off of it. It wasn't even my fault. It was charging and my dog ran into the charger and pulled my ipod off the table. My dad said he would get me a new one because we have the warranty, but i have been wanting an iphone for so long. But if my dad is willing to get me a new ipod, do you think he should just get me and iphone? It makes more sense than to get a new ipod, and then buy an iphone a few months later. So should he just get me an iphone instead?

It's his money so it's up to him.

Just get an iphone

Did you purchase something called 'Apple plus care' or something when you bought the iPod? I think the regular warranty only covers your iPod if it breaks itself. The Apple plus care covers any damage like if you drop it, or in your case, the dog cracked it.

If you Really want your dad to get an iPhone, think about it. Are you going to use it as a cell phone? Do you need a cell phone? You can get the iPhone 4 for "free" (from most carriers) if you sign a 3 year contact with a $50 plan. An iPhone 4s costs about $160 on a 3 year contract with $50 plan. If your phone gets damaged outside of the warranty, you're going to have to pay about $500. Of course, you can get a 1 or 2 year contract (or no contract and pay the full $700 for the phone. YIKES) but still, an iPhone will break the bank.

Get another iPod touch. Your dad will be glad to pay $200 and be done with it than feed the phone company $50 each month. C'mon, you have a chance to earn bonus parent points! Besides, the iPhone breaks easier than the iPod touch.

If he says he will get you an iPhone then you might as well get one. But get the iPhone 4S because it's much faster and overall better. Also, the new version of iOS 6 will be coming only to the iPhone 4S so get it.

You have to pay a monthly fee for your iPhone service so it would cost him way more than an iPod. Plus you don't need a new one just a new screen. But if your phone is already a smartphone get the IPhone.

  • Would it be stupid to buy the new iPod Touch now that I have the iPhone 5? I want to keep my music separate from my phone because the phone is just too heavy, especially when I run with it. What do you guys think?
  • Will Apple be releasing a new iPod Touch in the fall? Along with the new iPhone (s)? I want to get a new one as a gift for a special somebody, but I'd rather get the latest one than one that will be outdated in a month or so. So the question is is it likely that Apple will be updating the iPods? Should I wait for that? Or is there no chance if that so I should get the current colored models?
  • Want to buy an iphone or ipod touch in new york? I'm going to new York in two weeks, and I was wondering if I would be able to buy an iphone there, cus everyone says there much cheaper in the us, but obviosuloy i'm going to be using it in the uk so I would have to buy it unlocked and get a new sim ect… So would that just rise the price even more, making it pointless to buy it in new York. Also I was wondering how much an ipod touch would cost over there, is there any point me buying either of them over there?
  • Should I just get my cracked iPhone fixed or get a refurbished one? I have an iPhone 4 and I cracked the front pretty badly. The back only had on crack across it but the front is bothering me. Would it be better to pay $200 at apple to get it fixed? Or buy a refurbished one from them! Help! I'm a little nervous to attempt fixing it myself. I'm NOT good with things like that and after watching a video I'm 95% sure I'd ruin the phone/lose a screw lol.
