Hi, honestly, when it comes to tech, especially mobile tech, I think one should just go and buy the best they can reasonably afford. I don't think one will ever be disappointed in doing so. For example, by purchasing the iPhone 5, one is almost certain to have access to the next major release of IOS. If you can afford a 32 or 64 GB iPhone? Get one of those. I've never heard anyone complaining about how much extra space they have on their device. haha. If a 4S is more in your price range, then get that. But, I really do think one is better off letting their finances dictate what they get than features they may or, may not use.
