    You've got to get the 5s it's the first waterproof iPhone

    You can use it in the bath now and if you drop it, it's not a problem

    You really need to upgrade, get a business contract through your company and you are good to go

      I thought just upgrading to iOS7 did that for all Apples?

        You can have a pot noodle while watching porn on it now, and if it gets messy it doesn't matter.

          No it's special hardware only in the 5s, and it's guaranteed to be waterproof at least till the next iTunes update

              Buy the phone outright using your company credit card and ask them to put the company name on the VAT invoice. This is a valid company expense, even if the phone will be used privately.

              You can now get a cheap sim-only deal for £10/month. If you get this in the company name and paid for directly from the company account then there are no tax implications and you can claim it against expenses.

              If you already have a contract in your own name (rather than the company) then you can continue to use this but you can't claim it on expenses but you can switch to cheap sim only tariff if you are out of contract.

                It's cheaper to buy the phone up front for £549 and use GiffGaff at £12/month.

                If you want to do it over a longer time period, then £170 up front and then an 18 month contract with T-mobile @ £36/month.

                  Stupid Apple claiming to invent the waterproof phone. Doesn't everyone know the S4 already had this feature?

                    I just upgraded to 5s from 5. The reception is crap. The signal is very weak in my house where the 5 was good. How can that be? I have changed network, still with Orange.

                      Got the 5s and the signal seemed weaker with the new nano sim.
                      So I put the sim in my old 4s and it was the same... so could be the nano sim's at fault?

                      P.S I miss my jailbreak
