First of all I only have 300 bucks to spend. I could get the iPod/iPad right now if I wanted to, but if I wanted to get an iPhone I would have to wait a few more months until I save up and get paid. I will most likely be getting the 5C because its cheaper and I like how it feels better.
I'm mostly at home, or driving. I don't need internet everywhere I go, however it would be nice. I do got an android phone for texting and data and calling, so I could always keep my phone for calling. I have sprint, but I'm thinking of switching to virgin mobile because I'm not happy with sprint. But I already have android phones that support virgin mobile networks right away.
I like to surf the internet, play games, go on facebook, watch youtube videos, text, and listen to music and take pictures. I like to go on hikes a lot and don't want a device I have to carry with me everywhere like a cell phone, however it would be nice to have internet so I can use pandora/spottify when I'm driving or on the go, however I can always download songs for free.
I like the iphone 5C and ipod touch 5 better because they have a bigger screen compared to the 4S. I have owned the iPhone 4s in the past and loved it, but simply sold it to get some money.
I don't want the 4S, and would rather have the 5C for the bigger screen, even though its only 0.5 inches bigger. The ipad mini would be nice to have for games and even on the go for when I go to college in a few months, but I feel like it would be to big to carry around, but I wouldn't know. It would be nice to show off that I have an ipad lol
