ooo ya ka? let me describe my requirement/needs

I have the budget for iphone 4 16GB/32GB but still considering 4S(budget can be added). I see reviews and comparison. The 4S do have better camera 8MP, dual core proc which open the apps faster, Siri(sure i wont bother with it).

I dont know if the fast performance affects the games experience if i choose ip4, since it still use single core. so is there any large noticeable difference in terms of speed? will ip4 get the next iOS update(iOS 7 for example) next year? seeing that 3GS did still get iOS6. How bout the camera? do i miss a lot from iphone 4s if i choose iphone 4?

I am considering either iphone 4 32GB OR iphone 4s 16GB/32GB. Having a 16GB kinda worries me but I think I'll manage, but then if i dont lose much by choosing iphone 4, i'd rather get the 32GB version of iphone4 since it can save me a lot of money to be used on something else. if i do lose too much, i'd consider ip4s again. but its a lot of money and i'd be in tight budget.

my main concern is how well the dev will support iphone 4 until at least iphone 5s or iphone 6 is released? Am sure 4S will last longer since its dual core and newer but how will iphone 4 be? I just want to jailbreak, customizing it all the time whenever i can even after Apple stop pushing updates to it. Does dev/themers still support it? i mean updating their themes of whatever for the iphone 4?

Here is my usage/type/preferences.

1) I counted on my most listened songs = +/- 2GB
2) Images/videos with my current 8MP shooter = +/- 4GB
3) Games/Apps = I assume to grow to 4GB over time
4) Videos = Not sure if I'm gonna watch videos/movies on this but anyway short videos = +/- 1GB

Is it sufficient for only 16GB?

thank you!

if you plan stay long with your phone, i suggest get minimum iphone 4S
if you just want test test and try try, you can go ahead with iphone 4

do not worry which iphone you get... apple device resale value is much more higher than other smartphones

pick what suits you and go ahead

if you can manage your space very well, keep control song/video/app/movie under control, delete big apps you not using frequently, HD video delete frequently after not seeing it, songs not listening delete it. you can go for 16GB (actually less then 16gb when you get the phone)

if not, go for 32gb for less trouble manage the space or regret later... i seen 16gb and 32gb iDevice space management before... the 16gb is really tight, 0 songs 0 videos, apps so-so.... 32GB used about 20 GB sth so its still ok... not see 64gb space management how, if for me sure use to put more HD videos and apps no need delete so soon (but will become mess later)

imo 16gb is for those who tight on budget yet want iphone or those not tech fancy and only use their phone with little apps on it only and use to call/ text/ email only....

Nahhh. Usually I'll delete a game few seconds after playing it if it is not up to my taste, and multimedia contents hmm I've never fill up much of my 8gb sdcard, only around 2-3gb like that, so yeah I guess it'll probably be more than enough haha laugh.gif

I do want to buy from apple online store and frankly I much prefer that actually but the problem is I'm a student in cyberjaya and lives in hostel, I don't have a credit card and I quite worry if it'll safely arrive into my possession cry.gif don't wanna trouble anyone asking if I could use their credit card, so I pretty much left with either buying on9 and cod or go to those premium resellers and get it from them sad.gif sigh~

Anyway, thanks for the reply!  notworthy.gif

if you want get 4S can carry cash go premium reseller but i think carry cash is more danger than buy via apple store online,

anyway you use your bankcard or debit card to do it via online ore APR
