Wait for iPhone 5s or try another smartphone?

I've currently got an iPhone4 (old, I know) and have been due for an upgrade for 3 months. I've been wanting the iPhone 5s but am growing sick of waiting. I could order it, but it seems several phones have been reported to have battery problems making the wait longer. No stores in my area have it nor do they know when they will. Dec. The latest. After iOS7 I was turned off by Apple. I also can't stand the lack of battery hold they all seem to have. I use my phone ALOT. I don't have a computer, so my phone is my life line. I also hate how just having an iPhone on Verizon jacks up your monthly bill because of the data packages you need. I did have a Motorola Droid back in 2010 which was a lot cheaper monthly. I'm really lost in what to do here. Should I make the switch? Or wait it out? Besides the finger print scanner, better camera and slightly bigger screen- I don't see what all the excitement is about. Anyone who knows their phones, please give me your advice.

What will happen to my iPhone 5? - 1

With the recent discontinuation of the iPhone 5, I'm scared to turn in my iPhone 5 to the apple store.

Currently, my iPhone 5 is broken and won't turn on, but it's still underneath the one year manufacturer warranty provided by apple. If I turn it in, will I receive a new iPhone 5 even if it's been discontinued or will they downgrade me to the iPhone 4S?

How to reinstall GTA VC with all saves on iOS 7?

I installed GTA Vice City on my iPhone through… Um… Illegal, kind of ways. Then, I added some music to my iPhone on iTunes. Of course, I can't play the game then. I still have the game here, but I'm afraid that my saves will be deleted after deleting the game. How can I reinstall this with all saves?

Should I buy an Iphone 5 with the T-mobile $30 a month plan?

Ok, so ever since I know what cell phones were, I've wanted an Iphone.
I'm 16, and a junior in highschool.
The main problem is I don't have a job, and I have to pay for everything I want that isn't a necessity (food/warm clothes) My dad owns apartment buildings that I sometimes work at for extra cash, but it's not substantial.
My current phone situation is:
1st gen HTC Evo 3d with $35 a month Non-contract plan
Ipod touch 5g
For some reason, i LOVE apple, and this is nonnegotiable. So please don't tell me to buy a nexus, even though its a great and cheap phone. I love my Ipod, but the Evo makes me want to tear my hair out. I never use it when i don't have to. The coverage is terrible, but the main two reasons i hate it are: 1. Its android. Like I said, I'm unexplainably bias toward Apple. 2. The keyboard is literally the worst thing you have ever laid thumbs on. While i can type quickly and easily on my Ipod, It take insurmountably large portions of my day just to type a simple message, and after having the phone for well over a year I know I'm not going to "just get used to it"

(I know, I sound like such a spoiled white kid)

I also want to be able to carry around just one device ( the iphone) instead of my ipod+thick Evo.

So what I was thinking was to buy an iPhone 5/5s off contract and connect it to T-mobiles $30 a month plan.
Is this a good idea? I can easily afford the plan, as I'm already paying more than that for virgin, but I was wondering if it is compatible with iPhone.
Also, iPhone 5, 5c or 5s. I don't want to start off my dream of iPhone ownership with an outdated phone, but is the 5S really worth the extra cost?

If I purchased the phones from Virgin mobile, these are the prices per model. ( I only use this as an example because you can no longer buy the plain iPhone 5 from the Apple website) All the examples are 32g, because that's the memory I need.
iPhone 5 - $500
iPhone 5c - $550
iPhone 5s - $650
I really prefer the metal case of the 5 and 5s, but i would like to know what you guys think.

I'm done with the iphone since O. S.7, can you suggest an alternative smartphone?

I'm done with the iphone since O. S.7, can you suggest an alternative smartphone?

Added (1). More specific? I'm in Japan, so everything goes on contracts… I just need pure information on device capabilities and ease of use.

It's also possible that the new OS will be less annoying after a few days, or more specifically, on the new hand set. In other words, just get the next iPhone. But I see that as no more than Stockholm syndrome. Gonna vote with my money on this one, start giving it to one of Apple's competitors instead.

How to get iWork for free on old iPhone?

I LOVE iWork so much! Too bad I'm using an iPhone 5. How, seriously, how do you get iWork for free on an old device? I really hate Apple for not allowing the 'elderly' phones get a chance to run these wonderful software. SIGH…
