    It's coming onto that time of year again where apple announces a new iPhone. There are rumors spreading about how older iPhones' worth will decrease significantly. So my question is...sell now. Or wait. I will also add a poll. Feel free to comment below explaining your thought process.

    As for this question... Hmm.. Well to be honest I never considered selling my iPhone due to the new one coming out. I generally simply get the new one and then worry about it. Or in my current case, I still have the one from last generation...

    Sell your Iphone and get Android. That way you don't overpay for the logo and get caught in the hypestorm every time.

    If you 100% want to sell and get the new model the best time, money wise, is to sell now, you'll get a lot more money for it now.

    Plus iphones are only good for a certain time, apple make them to start deteriorating once a newer model comes out, once the 4s came out my lock button broke, after the 5 came out my phone became the slowest thing ever, once the new one comes out it'll probably set my house on fire or something haha!]

    Good luck anyway :)

    I love IPhone, but the thing is that they are really not worth the money. They cost too much for what you get and in all honesty they are not very powerful. I own the HTC one which I got for around $200 cheaper than an iPhone 5 and it is a lot more powerful and is capable of more things. Anyways I'd say sell your iPhone and pocket some of the cash and go for a high powered android as they are cheaper than a n iPhone and can even emulate IOS7

    The durablity though.
    I would much rather have an iPod that lasts me 5 years and not have to pay for service and just use internet then have a phone that could last at tops around 2 years.
    I like apple mainly cause I grew up with apple but :/

    I have a ipod 1gen(don't make fun of me) and it runs fine. I can surf the web and youtube fine. It needs a restore every 5-6 months but its fine. Only problem is you cant get any good apps having ios3 :p If a ipod can work after 6 years I think apple is good. I have seen and used android and htc phones ( dad has some) and I hate them. They make them so complicated. Other then for tablets i prefer apple.
