QUESTION:

Hello,

Would it be worth buying an iPhone 4 S right now or would it be better to wait for the iPhone 5?
 
Sincerely,

Jim

ANSWER: 

Hello Jim,

My general advice to those who ask if they should purchase any piece of technology at any given point in its development cycle is that if you can wait, do so. 

It is not a matter of “if it is worth it” or not for worth is, in this sense, a subjective term that can only be defined by the one who is making the decision. 

Think of it, after the release of iPhone 5, there will be those who will ask, “Should I get the iPhone 5 or should I wait for the iPhone 6?” 

Jim, you should not try to get ahead of but, rather, be content to stay in, the proverbial technology game.

Simply stated, it never ends, my friend, and I pray that it never will.  (Smile)

Most Sincerely,

Mark
