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?

Well Apple officially will sell the iPhone 4 up until the next iPhone debuts later this year (September expected).

So that's when the iPhone 4 is expected to be discontinued.

The iPhone 4 won't be discontinued for a while however store in shopping centres and high streets may discontinue the iPhone 4 from their stores. This is simply because the demand and profitability will have dropped off for the phone from high street shoppers. The phone should still be able to be purchase from online retailers for a number of years and will become more available in poorer countries as the main markets stop buying it.

There are NEWER and better phones, unfortunately there are some that think everything is Apple and is best. That is NOT the case both Independent reviewers and Award givers, so many take cues from people who know phones.

Yours is what I see a lot I HAVE TO BUY AN IPHONE BUT I can't afford the extortionate prices of the latest***

All iPhones are just overpriced and to justify the above just one article here on YOUR iPhone4 which came out in June 2010 and which APPLE INVENTED CAMERA FLASH for this phone as before the IP4 NO iPhone had camera flash, so 3rd and 4th paragraph http://www.itproportal.com/2012/09/06/8gb-iphone-4s-version-be-introduced-iphone-5-launch/#ixzz2E

So as the IP4 is the next in line[ when the IP5 was released Apple drops IP 3GS]
The advert the best Iphone yet, NOTE THE SOURCE

The price paid or tariffs commanded (no demanded) by iPhones… On any every network defy logic and gravity
Apple set the price high and make no apologies for doing so*** http://www.itproportal.com/2013/01/11/apple-exec-refutes-cheaper-iphone-rumour-/

Don't you find it odd that despite the NEWER and better (technologically advanced) you are still looking at a phone from 2010, as an upgrade

IP4 is well past its sell by date and is next in line to be discontinued

When will it be discontinued

  • Will the discontinued iphone 5 be able to update ios versions? I have an iphone 5 and i'm about to upgrade depending on the answer to this question. I know that apple has discontinued the iphone 5, but does ghat mean i won't be able to upgrade to ios 7.1 or ios 8 when they come out? And if i upgrade to the 5c will that be able to ios 8?
  • Will discontinued apps be avaliable on my iPhone after a software update? Hi, I'm looking to update my iPhone 4 with iOS 6.0 to iOS 7.1. I have a few apps installed from the apps store that are no longer avaliable to buy, such as the original Flappy Bird. I'm concerned that these apps will not be avaliable after I update. I plan on backing up my phone first, but will the backup save these apps from being gone forever? Is there a way to prevent these apps from being deleted other than backing up my phone? Or will these apps simply be no longer avaliable?
  • Why was the iPhone 5 discontinued? I was going to go get one as an upgrade from my iPhone 4S but when I went there the only phones on display were the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s. I asked one of the workers & she told me that there are none in stock. I then asked her when they would be back in stock and she replied "Probably never because the iPhone 5 was discontinued by Apple." When I asked her why she said that she doesn't know. Why did they discontinue a great phone?
  • My iphone 5 broke, will apple replace it even though it was discontinued? My iphone 5 broke, and since apple discontinued the iphone 5 would they give me a different phone or do they still make them for those who need replacements? I have insurance i'm just wondering whether it would be replaced or not.
