\"Clyde<\/a><\/td>\nAnswer:<\/strong> Ah yes, a question about iPhone. Ok, let me preface my answer by saying this, my views on purchasing phones are considered a bit extreme by most people. That being said, when I purchase a phone, it must meet my EVERYDAY needs and must be either free with a contract or as cheap as possible without a contract. The main reason for this is that the time between the introduction of a new phone model and its \u201cnext version\u201d is usually very short. By the time a user gets accustomed to their phone, a new version is available. Furthermore, most users never use many of the features they pay for when purchasing phones.<\/p>\n

My advice is this: unless the more expensive iPhone has useful features and better performance that you need in your everyday life, I would suggest you purchase the cheaper of the two. Invest that extra $150 in something that will increase in value. Good luck!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
