Will the 4s be pushed off the market soon?

Afterlight · 14-12-2014 12:13am #1

My beloved 4s was robbed off of me this week, it was just shy of two years old. I'm unsure whether I should try buy a second hand 4s (~ €200/€300) but worry that within the next couple of months the next iOS update will say that its not compatible with the older iPhone models. Is it better for me to buy second hand or should I save up and fork out for a 5/6?

I would say the next iOS9 will not support the 4S. Can't ge 100% sure though. You can pick up refurbished iPhone 5's for around €375 in Argos and the likes I think.

I'm a bit wary of refurbished models! I got sent out a refurbished iPod classic a couple of years back after my brand new one died after a couple of weeks, the refurbished model died a day out of its 3 month guarantee.

ios 6 already slows down 4s don't upgrade it,you should be able to buy the 5 for that price have you looked on ebay

watch out for scammers look for long term ebay seller,lots open and shut 6 months later and put in false positive feedback

Refurbs have 12 month warranty when done by Apple
