northill series case for apple iphone 6, 7 and 8 - green/sage/chroma

Dear Maggie,I have a dilemma and I need your expert advice. A couple of weeks ago I dropped my iPhone 3GS. And yes, I did cry a little (don't judge me!). Now it has a small crack on the top right corner. The phone works great, the crack doesn't interfere with the performance of the phone. But I still want a new iPhone. Should I use my upgrade and buy the iPhone 4S or should I wait and see what the iPhone 5 is all about? If I wait for the iPhone 5 my 3GS with the cracked screen will be worth even less than it is now. If I get the 4S what happens come June if the iPhone5 is the most amazing iPhone yet??? Should I buy the 4S and when the 5 comes out use my wife's upgrade to get the 5 and give her the 4S and be THAT guy?.

Please help,All Cracked Up, Dear All Cracked Up,Please don't be that guy, Be patient and northill series case for apple iphone 6, 7 and 8 - green/sage/chroma wait for the iPhone 5 to come out, Most likely, you'll only have to wait until June or July, It's already nearly March, so that isn't too far off, Worst case scenario, you wait until September or October, If your iPhone 3GS is still holding up even after you dropped it, count your blessings, I have a 3GS with an ailing battery, If I use the browser or too many Web-enabled apps in a row, the phone just poops out without warning, crashing into the black screen of death until I hook it up to a charger to bring it back to life, Believe me, I really want a new phone, too, I need a new phone, But I am waiting for Apple's new iPhone, because it just doesn't make sense to buy the iPhone 4S now when I am fairly certain that within the next few months a newer and better model will probably be available..

Now, don't get me wrong. The iPhone 4S is a great phone. In fact, it's Apple's hottest selling iPhone to date. And there are still plenty of people buying these smartphones. But when you know a newer model is right around the corner and you don't really "need" a new device, I think it's better to wait. I wouldn't worry too much about the resale value of your iPhone 3GS. It's not worth that much now. And the amount it depreciates between now and when the iPhone 5 goes on sale is nowhere near the difference between buying a new iPhone at the subsidized price versus buying it at the unsubsidized price.

As for stealing your wife's upgrade so you can get the instant gratification of the iPhone 4S today and the delight of the iPhone 5 later, I beg you not to be that guy, Your wife deserves to get the latest and greatest iPhone, too, It's not fair for you to satisfy your northill series case for apple iphone 6, 7 and 8 - green/sage/chroma need for a new toy, and leave your wife with your cast-offs, And please tell me this way of thinking isn't something I have to look forward to after I get married in September! Ha! I may stay on my own separate wireless plan after all if this is how most husbands think..

Good luck with the big decision. I hope my advice was helpful! And if you do steal your wife's upgrade, so you can get the iPhone 4S now and the iPhone 5 later, make sure you make it up to her with some really nice jewelry.
