Hi, this is kind of what I did. I got the iPhone 4S about 1 year ago and
I purposely got the 64 gb version to avoid space issues. I plan on
holding onto it for at least another 12 to 18 months. If longer, then it
won't be bad. by that time we'll see what's new out there and then it
will be worth skipping from the 4S to whatever is out there. It might be
skipping 1 or 2 phone models. It wasn't worth me getting the iPhone 5 so
soon after I got the 4S since it's been working perfectly fine for me.

Nick, thanks so much for your comments. This is just the sort of advice
I was looking for. I tend to use my devices until they drop so I expect
I'll go with the iPhone 5 and get at least 32GB if not the 64GB
capacity. I've bought too much computer equipment over the years where I
skimped on the hardware on the front end and lived to regret it so I'm
not going to do that again.
Thanks to all who posted on this thread.

Hi Allen
I'd honestly go with the iPhone 5 because it has both a slightly bigger
screen and better resolution. This is going to be important if you're
using zoom, apple's built in equivalent of zoom text, on the iPhone to
see it. The other advantage the 5 has is that it has more ram then say
the 4 or 4S. This will help when running certain apps because they will
run a bit more smoothly for you. Memory is eaten up mostly by say
music, pictures and videos. If you're not sure how much you may want of
those picking something like a 64 gb might be a bit much if only because
the price sounds intimidating to some people first starting out. I
don't know if I'm already giving you stuff you know or not here but
apple usually upgrades iPhones iPods and such in september for release
in October. A lot of people just starting out will pick a smaller model
of the phone, and then upgrade again in october after they've had time
to learn a bit more about there iPhone and the types of things they will
and won't use. If this is something you think you would want to do,
then picking the smallest model would be the best way to go if only
because you won't have put a ton of money in to something you're
upgrading in a few months anyway. If though, you don't care to upgrade
your iPhone in october and you're happy using it for the next 2 years,
then picking a model that's bigger would be the way to go. Hope this helps.
Peace,
Nick

*Subject:*New Member Intro andHelp Needed Choosing iPhone Model
I joined this group yesterday since it's obvious that the iPhone and
other iDevices offer the most features and accessibility for those
visually impaired. I tend to avoid upgrading software on my Windows XP
system since I really don't like re-learning interface changes but I'm
happy to learn new things that will benefit me and it's past time to
learn the iPhone and all that if offers.
I don't currently have any type of smart phone so I'm starting fresh
both with the device and a wireless plan. I live near Jackson, MS so it
appears that ATT offers the most extensive coverage and plan even if not
the best price. I'm looking for recommendations on whether to get the
iPhone 4S which ATT apparently only offers in a 16GB model or to get an
iPhone 5 with more memory capacity. I know this depends on each
individual's personal use but I figured I would tend to run more apps
than sighted users to get additional accessibility. I use the ZoomText
screen reader and I know they have an iPhone app and that there are also
many other apps to choose from. My main use of the iPhone will be taking
advantage of its accessibility features in identifying objects as my
vision continues to decline and in accessing its web and other data
services as I begin to travel more.
Can anyone offer suggestions on whether I should get a 4S model with
16GB versus a higher capacity 5 model? I realize the 5 will cost more up
front but I can afford the cost if I get additional benefit. I have
worked extensively with computers since 1981 so I'm aware that spending
more up front for additional features and capacity is usually quickly
justified with the rapid technological expansion.
Thanks for any help and I'm looking forward to tapping into the
extensive knowledge of this list.
