Greetings!
I'm creating this topic because I want to be specific about my case.
I live in Portugal and the iPhone here is...well, pretty expensive!
The 16Gb iPhone 5S for instance, costs 700€ (around $950)! I get paid a bit more than minimum wage (which is 500€ - $680) but if I bought one, I would spend almost all the money I make in a month of work, so the most recent model is out...
The iPhone 4S costs 400€ (around $545) and I can buy it in a big store that we have here for 329€ (or $450). It's still almost half of what I make in a month but I am sick and tired of Android and I'm considering buying it.
So I have two questions now:
1 - For social networking apps, email, half a dozen apps (like Runkeeper, Shazam and TVShowTime for instance) and a couple of games like Sudoku, are the 8Gb enough? (I won't have songs in it) And is the performance good?
2 - I don't think that the iPhone can be much cheaper in Portugal, in fact the 70€ discount is rare as it is. Considering the discount and the age and performance of it, do you think that it is (still) worth it?
EDIT - I think I posted this in the wrong from, sorry :S
EDIT 2 - Don't worry, it's almost half of the income, but I've been saving for a new phone for a few months now :)
