The wonderful innovations in the field of science and technology have resulted in the launching of the trendiest kind of smart phones. The iPhone 4S has been launched recently and is now one of the most sought out mobile devices today that has umpteen applications that you can make use of. The demand for this new iPhone has crossed all the previous selling records and seems to be selling around three to four million this week. However, whether purchasing this iPhone is really worth the price you are going to pay for it is a big question.

Statistics conducted by Qumu reveals that around eighty eight percent of the people are of the opinion that the launch of this new iPhone is something commendable and is going to be a real hit among tech Greeks, working mothers and business people. Whether this phone is really necessary for people who already possess a version of the Android or an earlier iPhone model is questionable.

Smart phones are not very common
Actual researches reveal that smart phones are quite rare among common people. It has been discovered that just a one third of the population owns a smart phone in the US. This implies that the rest of the population does not care much about owning a smart phone. Most people require a phone to make calls and as long as this is possible in an ordinary mobile device, they are not bothered about owning a smart phone that has umpteen applications and trendy looks. The basic function of being able to keep in touch with people is top priority among majority of the people and not whether their phone is 'Mango", "Ice Cream Sandwich" or Android.

Smart Phones will be Smart Phones
There is actually not much difference between the various smart phones that are available today. The latest iPhone 4 has more or less the same functions when compared to the Android phone or iPhone 3 version. The main difference lies in its classy appearance and extra applications. This makes it a real waste of money going in for the latest model for people who already own an older version of the smart phone. They are all efficient systems powered by excellent hardware.

Good news is that Apple is planning to offer a free iPhone 3GS when you purchase a two year connection. This is indeed something better than going in for an iPhone 4S. Although it is a fact that the latest, most recent technology and shiniest smart phone is an asset for people who have the money to buy them, these phones are not a necessity.

The best course would be to settle for a mobile device that caters to your needs and requirements and comes within your budget. There is absolutely no necessity to compare your model with others and rush to get the latest version of the smart phone if you are happy with the efficiency of your mobile device.
