    I have never had an Iphone before so I am a bit torn as to which one to get 4s, 5c or 5s ? Any thoughts on the models would be appreciated. I am pay as you go, not bill pay. I was going to go for the 4s but its only 8gb , and the 5s is only €100 more than the 5c... my mind is boggled no idea which one to get.

    I have the budget to buy a 16gb 5s just wondering is it THAT much better than the 4s to spend an extra €300 on it ? I know the basics just wondering what other peoples opinions on them are :)

    Yes, the 5S is much better than the 4S, but only you can decide if the extra money is too much.

    If you can comfortably pay for the 5s, then yes definitely go for it over the 4s :)

    Some reasons

    - 5s is more advanced parts and performance wise than the 4s. Better processor, double the RAM, etc

    - The 5s will easily support the next few iOS verions to come after iOS7, the 4s will more than likely not. So it will easily do you for the few years compared to the 4s.

    - The 5s will support 4G where as the 4s will not so can take advantage of the better speeds when browsing net, streaming video's and downloading.

    Hope that helps somewhat.

    dont think you will get to see any in store tomorrow. Reports of some shops only getting 2 units to sell, theres no way they would use up one of those as a display unit!

    You could always try if they still have any iPhone 5 available. Same spec as a 5c, same design as a 5s and probably best value (I'm assuming here it will be priced between the 4s and 5c since the iPhone 5 is discontinued). I wouldn't go for the 4s or 5c....
