| ![]() The combination of iPhone 4 and the latest iOS version is powerful enough to ensure that the charm of owning an Apple product will wither off in a few mins. It's not really worth to spend 15K on this. If you want to get into the iPhone space, atleast start with the 4S. |

BANNED | ![]() Having paid around 38k ish and moved up to the iPhone 4S a year and a half ago, I am still really enjoying using it. Perhaps, since it is going strong and happy, I should consider upgrading only when iPhone 6 or 6S comes into play, say a year or so from now. Any advice? |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() This would be for my mother. Her old phone is acting up and she has hinted at the iPad being a bit bulky and inconvenient to use for face time with her grandsons. Apart from that her usage will be limited to basic phone functions and whatsapp/txt at best. I was thinking of getting a 4s but if the 4 happens, I believe it will be a good buy for the intended usage. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Apple iPhone 4 8GB reintroduced in India at Rs 22,900 Apple reintroduced its 3-year-old smartphone, iPhone 4 (8GB), in India at Rs 22,900. The new MRP of the iPhone 4 is Rs 22,900, but some of the company's premium resellers are selling the phone at Rs 22,500. Currently, the phone is available only in black colour.

BHPian ![]() | ![]() IMO it is really not worth buying iPhone 4 at this price when the fact is after mid of 2014 once iOS 8 is released iPhone 4 will not get any support from new iOS. Apple should seriously think of pricing iPhone 4 at the price point of around Rs.15000 in India now. When other phones with almost similar or better specs for instance Nokia Lumia 625 is priced at Rs 15000, it really makes sense to price iPhone 4 also at the same price range. EDIT: Overall it is not a wise decision to buy iPhone 4 at this time point when in few months from now iPhone 4S will be a basic phone model for apple Last edited by lazybrain : 20th January 2014 at 14:39. |

| ![]() The iPhone 4 for Rs. 23K, I can only term the pricing outrageous. I wonder if too many will sell as there are far far better phones at this price point, and in fact, much better phones near the 15K mark. In fact, there is no reduction in price since flipkart was selling at the same price the iphone 4 for long. Hence, it is only a relaunch, not a price reduction at all. |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() After being a very hardcore android fan for the past 3 to 4 years - I have jumped ship to iOS now. Got the wife to gift me an iphone 4S two days back. ![]() Reason for the shift - I started my android life with the Galaxy S2, prebooked. It was a revolution in terms of hardware and software and I was absolutely hooked to it. Over the years, between us, we have owned Galaxy S, S2, S3 and Note2. However, after the S2 experience - S3 and Note2 felt like the same phone in a bigger and better package. I was not getting a new phone experience. Moreover, over the years - my usage changed drastically. From hacking/changing OS etc to basic applications usage and hence didn't feel the need to stick to the android platform. Initial impressions -
Will keep an eye on this thread. Trying to figure out iTunes funda for now. ![]() |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() @crazy driver welcome to the Apple community. Any particular reason you opted for iPhone 4S over latest iPhone 5S or 5C other than cost? I am not sure how often you change your phone but if you use 1 mobile phone for a long time (~3-4 years) then you must know iPhone 4S will become pretty much redundant after approximately 1.5 years from now, meaning apple will stop supporting on software updates for iPhone 4S. That's a pretty much standard practice apple follows that it gives maximum 4 year support post launch of a particular phone model. If you have only max. 1 - 1.5 years of usage in mind then it's a best buy else IMO it is not since after 1.5 years you have to live with an outdated iOS version - just a thought and enjoy your new world of iOS.
