I am sorry if this question has been asked a thousand times, should I wait for the iPhone 5s or just get an iPhone 5? I can not get it until Fter the 28th January anyway so should. Wait for the iPhone 5s? Isn't there a rumour it will be released April time or smething?

Why do you think there will be an S model? I thought the 4S just meant that it had Siri?

Mainly rumours but there does seem to be a pattern... Apple might just invent something that begins with s lol

There has been an iPhone 3G, 3Gs, 4, 4S and now 5. It is entirely possible that a 5S may come out this year and entirely possible that a iPhone 6 may come out too..:)

Though, one thing is certain, looking at the difference between the 4 and 4S, they are fairly negligible and more annoying than anything else. The difference between the number changes are more important and significant..

I wouldn't expect to see another iPhone released until the Summer at the earliest, regardless of what it's name it going to be..

I might wait and people expect that they may have colour and honestly I want that so bad and although it is a bit unlikely it still may happen.

Same as iPod touch I would think. I'd want the blue one this concept image makes it look beautiful.

That looks 3rd party mods to change the outside case. I would wait, and see what Apple has to offer in 2013. As much as I like the iPhone 5 it could be better. :D The "s" models are usually better anyways.

I know what you mean. Except that isn't a concept for the iPhone. It actually does it exist. Linky here. It's a third party company that specializes in mods.

If I did get an iPhone I'd love to give them it and my ipad mini and get the coloured blue. That would be awesome

Relying on rumours more often ends in disappointment than it turns out to be a smart move. There is NO factual evidence that Apple will be introducing an iPhone "5S" anytime soon. On top of this, if you buy an iPhone 5 you are only "locked in" for about a year (two maximum), meaning you'll be in on the iPhone 6 or whatever.

I rarely pay attention to rumours. Instead I have this novel approach of buying what I think is best at the time I need it, and enjoying the heck out of it, then repeat when I need a new one. This has served me very well so far. Still loving my iPhone 4 and iPad 3, don't feel a need to contribute to the "rat race."

Oh I know I can't rely on rumours, kind of why I asked the opinions of you kind folk. Im a really impatient person so I don't think I will be waiting for the next iPhone. I would be happy with a 4s so I wouldnt mind being a phone out of date for a year or so. Thanks for the reply.

Isn't there a rumour it will be released April time or smething?

The average number of days between new iPhone model releases is 338. It has only been 105 days (a little over 3 months) since the iPhone 5 has been released.

So I think that it's safe to say that buying an iPhone 5 now wouldn't be a problem:)...or you can wait approx. another 233 days (7.77 months) for the next iPhone model to be released!;)

I have the Verizon 4S and have no intention of going to the iPhone 5 or 5S. Frankly, the change from glass back to aluminum and the frequency of scratches and edge chipping on the 5 is all I need to stay away from it.

And if you buy an unlocked phone and get your connection package separately you are not tied in for any lengh of time so can upgrade as each new model comes along.
