Hi
Was wondering when is it time to upgrade to a iphone 6 onwards and what can you do to buy more time and be able to run the new program's if you don't have the money and you can't put up with the iphone 4 any longer, If it helps the iphone 4 seems outdated and is Very slow on internet Closes out of program's for no reason Battery doesn't hold charge now Cameras not best now Sometimes looses signal even in a place where there's phone towers Can't run latest operating system which most program's need these days and when you go into updates it says software upto date which is iOS 7 can't get ios 8 on the iphone 4 Is there anything you can do to buy more time to get a newer phone and to be able to run or be able to get the program's and get ios8 until you can afford a newer iphone There's no more updates for the 4 but can't afford a new iphone yet and could be a while as cars also needing stuff fixed and got to do that first and few other things too |

Buy a second hand 6. Maybe a friend has one that is sitting in a drawer getting no love. Put out the question on Facebook if you have it and I guarantee someone will have a spare.

Have thought of that what's least you'd pay for one or a 5s
How else do you get a 300000km 23 yr old car as reliable as a newer one with half the age and km even though the speedo will keep goin from where it's at There's just things to fix and can't do it all at once |

Never. Any time is good to downgrade to a non-smart phone.

Buy a cheap Android, why do you need a iPhone? it is the most expensive phone you can buy.
I see so many people with no job but they have latest iPhone? WTF? My work gave me a crappy generic android phone that costs about 200 bucks outright and it does everything, phone internet pictures, messages what ever. |

I love iPhones but just as many like Android better. iPhones are expensive.
I'd say if money is an issue to get a Android handset

I still have an iphone 4 - crashes out of the internet about once a week, but otherwise fast enough. Gets better coverage than her iphone 6 on the same network. I think the trick is to avoid the updates - haven't updated mine in about four years, Battery is still good too. The battery in her iphone 5 only lasted 18 months.

When I smashed my phone by accident (dropped it on the crapper floor and broke the screen), I went without a phone up right until I started my own business.
The only way I was contactable was by knocking on my door or here on AFF. If I ever throw in the towel on the business I'm going back to having no phones, that way I control who I contact. Life was simpler. |

The only problem is you start reading the back of the air freshener can when you're on the crapper as you feel bored

I have a second hand iphone 4s that im currently using as a backup for internet and contact with certain people (via wifi only as they keep changing sim card sizes!!!). This was my first iphone and has been working good up until it stopped charging properly and will only charge when stood on its end leaning against something. I was then bought unwillingly an iPhone SE (which is a 6 in a 5 body) by my dear mother as my Gumtree phone didnt last long because it was second hand. Hmmmmm yeah no...
I did not want it as chances are it wont last long being what i call modern Apple crap. So 4 months after purchase it now sits on my desk dead because the charge port has totally shat itself. Gee what a surprise. Its lasted less than my iphone 4s. Cost of iphone 4s second hand $100. Cost of iphone SE new $647. Thats a 6 year iphone supply for me as they make these damn things to fail. Not to mention not making old charge cables compatible with new iphones making you buy more of their crap. Oh and the sim card size change making you unable to go back to your old phone, forcing you to buy their new crap! Pity they have the best user interface but are total crap for longevity. Screw them, get an android or something if you can bear their software.

I have had both a 4 and a 5 stop charging due to crap in the charger socket. Nothing a tooth pick can't clear out but it's annoying none the less. I still can't complain about my current old samsung. It doesn't tell be what to do....

Cleaning hasnt helped. There is also play in the socket so something is definitley not right in there.
In the past cleaning worked for the 4s but these days this is not so. Never worked for the SE. Grr!

Fair call, play probably means broken and in that case no charge means stuffed. Often being in dusty places was why my iPhone have gunked up. The Samsung has a waterproof cover over the charging jack so dirt stays out.

Yeah thats what i figure. Im taking it tomorrow for $75 worth of new charge port fitted. Yes the phone is still under warranty but its worth losing warranty and me paying $75 to not waste my time with those moronic dog jerking tossers at Apple when i will probably be given (if im lucky) a new phone with the same design flaw built in.
So hopefully this is a permanent fix. Bit like an AU head gasket in an E series... I have a cover that has that feature however i dont use it as the earphone hole becomes too recessed to use.
