There has been a little controversy brewing concerning the iPhone 5, at least amongst Verizon customers. As many people know, Verizon is new to the iPhone market. This is the first year the phone has ever been sold on the network. When it was announced that it would, the company's customers were quite pleased, giddy even. On the first day of taking presale orders for the phone, the company was sold out and forced to stop taking future orders. They simply didn't have enough phones.

They were all gone. This excitement was however, tempered for some, when rumors that the company would be releasing the iPhone 5 June of this year (2011). Some people doubted the wisdom of buying such an expensive phone if a newer, shinier model would be available just 4 months later. So should Verizon customers purchase the iPhone 4 or wait for the iPhone 5 to be released. The answer is, it depends.

There are arguments for as well as against buying the apple iphone 4 now or awaiting the iPhone 5 to be released. For AT&T customers this isn't as large of an issue. By the time the new iPhone arrives, they would have had use of one for about annually. In electronics years, this is a fairly very long time. Advancements are made quickly in this industry the ones expect for newer versions of products to be released on a regular basis.

AT&T users have had plenty of time to "play" with the iPhone 4 and the real junkies are probably bored with it now. Verizon customers on the other hand, haven't had a chance to the call the phone their own or won't have had much of one by the time the iPhone 5 is rolled out.

Verizon customers might want to consider purchasing the iPhone 4 if they don't believe that the iPhone 5 will be significantly better or if they don't think the changes that will be made will affect them in any great way. For instance, if the new iPhone will have substantially more memory than the iPhone 4 but they don't' need it they might want to go ahead with their planned purchase of the iPhone 4.

There is some speak that the newer handset will give individuals the ability to "wave and pay." If this is not something that would interest a buyer, compared to they should pass as well as go with what's available now.

People in general, are divided on this issue, even those that are not Verizon customers. There are some who are torn over buying the iPhone 4 or waiting a few months until the iPhone 5 comes out. There really is no right answer. These types of choices are pretty common in the electronics industry because products change and are updated so quickly.

Nevertheless, the matter becomes one that is felt even more heavily by Verizon customers who would be viewing an update just four months after buying their phones. Many people have already purchased the telephone, as evidenced through the huge pre-order numbers. You will find others who are split over buying the iPhone 4 or waiting around for the newer, sexier model which will be released in some short months.
