I need to get a new iPhone for Cassie, any advice?, iPhone buying... Pretty much my idea of hel Options

[Matt]

All,
The Bush (as most people know her) has an iPhone 5Sx-pad-mini-lightening-black edition thing. I think it's an IPhone 5; it had a metal chasis and back, lightening connector and is phone shaped (fits in one hand).

Thr screen's going, thr battery has been replaced once and it's dying. I need to know what she should get next. Any advice?

Requirements:
Stick with Apple (she knows how it works)
Probably buy off contract.
Don't need thr latest most expensive.
Probably needs to last 2 to 3 years accepting upgrades.
Rather not got second hand.
Cheapest within those margins.

Anybody know these sort of things?

Matt

I'm in a similar position (my 5S keeps draining fast but I suspect it may be a software power-management issue, need to back it up and restore to see if that helps), and I am also looking along pretty much the same lines.

One thing you may wish to consider is that there are heavy rumours of a new model coming soon (March/April), a 5S-ish form factor with some of the improvements found in the 6 (6S being the current flagship model), for people who want the smaller (4") screen size - something I would be keen on personally. But it is only a rumour - Apple never releases official details of upcoming iPhones until they are a definite product.
