Budget 20-25K Need Suggestion Galaxy S3 exchange with Iphone 4S

[raghul]

okay here is the deal... i want to try iOS and am currently on galaxy S3 around 4 months(full box set) old and have a guy who is willing to exchange it with his iPhone 4s 32GB with charger and datacable only.....

is it a good deal ?
will i regret this exchange ?(NO iOS vs Android) just apple vs samsung.
and is it true that cydia is not what it used to be like 2 years back with huge repositories ?? (heard its been taken down or something)
is iphone 4s still customizable after jailbreaking ?

The deal seems to be good if you consider current selling price of both the phones.

But does this iphone has any official Indian warranty? That will also be the deciding factor.

 

[raghul]

no it doesn't...he only has the phone ,charger and the headphones.. no box or bill... got it imported i guess..

I also feel that's a good deal, just check warranty on Apple website and also ask him whether there is any battery issue with iPhone? If it is mint condition then you can go ahead.

okay thanks guys... i might go for the deal

@raghul
Cydia is not going anywhere or not going down or anything like that. But before you make the purchase confirm the iOS version on the iPhone. If it is iOS 6.1.3 or 6.1.4 then you won't be able to jailbreak so forget about cydia and all the cool tweaks.

There will be no jailbreak for iOS 6.1.3 / 6.1.4 at all. Don't keep hopes. Especially since unveiling of iOS 7 is just 2 1/2 weeks away. The jailbreakers are saving the exploits for next version of iOS.
But that does not mean iOS 7 will be jailbroken soon. It can take lot of time and may not even be jailbroken. Nothing is known yet.

abey yaaar!!! raksrules
now what to do ??!?! i can barely go without rooting and flashing for a week.. what would happen if i can't tinker around with it for months!!!!! O_O

what about this site?

http://silv3rwind.com/

it says it can do untethered jailbreaks... for the above mentioned versions..

Silv3rwind is fake

 

[raksrules]

Any place that claims to jailbreak iOS 6.1.3 or above are fake. Trust no one.

 

[raghul]

so is it worth getting a phone with 6.1.3 now ??

Only if u are ready to wait for atleast a couple of months(or maybe more) for a jailbreak.

 

[raghul]

man this is a frustrating choice....
