Before I start, for all the iPhone haters I dgaf what your thoughts are.


My contract is up in March next yr, and I have the ability to upgrade 3 months before it ends, so at the start of January I can upgrade.

The thing is though, going by past releases they will bring out a new iPhone in June.

iPhone - June 29th 2007
iPhone 3G - July 11 2008
iPhone 3GS - June 19 2009
iPhone 4 - June 24 2010


So do I wait or upgrade? If I upgrade I will be locked in for 24 mths again.

Thoughts?

I thought the next iphone to be released was just going to be the iphone4 but in white? A guy at the sydney apple store told me that.

yeah thats happening in the next few weeks, it's the same as the current iPhone 4 just in white and supposedly with updated software that im assuming would be available for older iPhone 4s anyway...

im kinda in the same boat, can't justify getting an iPhone 4 on a 24 month contract knowing in 6 months a new one will be released!!

JB Hifi offers a deal where if a new iPhone comes out while still in contract on your old iPhone, they let you pay out the rest of the contract and you can stay on the same contract with the new phone, and you don't have to wait for one.

Poita, do what I did and buy it outright! Haven't looked back once. The pocket only gets hit just a little, next pay day you won't feel like it happened :-)

The thing is i don't want to throw $1k at something to send text messages and call people.

Would rather put that towards new slr lenses or bigger tv.

Plus it's too much piss farting around to get one up here

you gotta bite the bullet mate, my Galaxy S while a brilliant phone is already outdated, haha, new phones are coming out by the week. ie the HTC desire HD. I spent 6 months waiting for the iphone and then decided to get something else completely and boy was i happy i made that choice, so dont wait because youll be waiting forever. The iphone as with all of them will sort out their software issues eventually :)
