Iphone 4 or 4s

    Hi everyone

    Hoping for some feedback here.
    I am starting work with an organisation in a little over a week's time. I am using an iphone 5 as my personal phone but want another phone for use where i'll be working as i'll be doing training and follow up support so don't want anyone having personal number.
    My question is, should i get an iphone 4 or 4s? I have a 64 gb iphone 5, and my usage of this second phone would only be for work, so calls, texts, emails, and actually maybe a bit of internet.
    Would the iphone 4 be really slow now for this type of stuff? would i be better off with a 4s?
    Thanks in advance for any replies :)

    What's the price difference between the 4 and 4S?

    I would go for the iPhone 4 if that's the price difference, and all you are doing is calls, texts and emails. You'd only need the 4S for IMO for a faster, more responsive, multitasking, gaming, intensive stuff.

    Yep, given your requirements I'd go with the 4 as well tbh. :)

    Here's a nice comparison:

    Basically you'll "miss" Siri and it will be a bit slower. Normally I'd say go for the 4, but since you already have a 5 you might get annoyed with the speed (or lack of) of the 4. I know I found it quite a diffrence between 4&5 (not so much between 4s&5)...

    I'd go with something cheaper again.. if you only need it for a mainly texts and calls and a tiny bit of data why splash out.. ( unless your job is paying for it ;) ) try a normal smartphone as opposed to apple.

    If it's just calls, texts and emails, I would say any smartphone would do. But if you plan on using the iPhone a lot like browsing websites and gaming, I would pick the 4S since the 4 is starting to show its age now. If speed is not a concern, then go ahead with 4.
