They currently offer a bundle wich includes the i5 in 32 mb with an LTE modem which I assume can offer 3 G in areas wherethere is no LTE coverage but with the i5S release imminent what do you reckon the chances are that Telkom will offer the i5s in their catalogs on or before December 2013?
The only difference between the two I believe is plastic and fingerprint recognition.?
Is it worth waiting for or is is better to accept Telkoms contract bundle offerings now?...or wait a bit.?

The 5c is plastic and glass, the 5s is metal and glass. The 5s has loads of new stuff compared to the 5 (A7, M7, Camera, iTouch, RAM, etc). The 5c is basically the same as a 5 but with colour plastic and an improved iSight camera.

The 5 is still a great phone. No harm in going for the 5. But there is a good chance Telkom Mobile will be offering the 5c and 5s by year end

so are the current apple deals the 5 what? there's a bundle for 64mg iphone 5 or a iphone 5 32 GB valid til sept 20 so I am not wanting to lose out on a dongle and 5 but if the 5S will be likely be offered as a bundle with an LTE dongle in the R1159 -1500 bracket over 24 months it sounds it would be worth the wait OTOH I could avail myself of the LTE dongle now snd wait for the 5S as I dont think the Huawei e5776 is coming down much or even the huawei b593 lte router incl 10 GB month to month or x24 month even if 3 g in places would be a worthwhile buy now? anyone.? or for R100 mor pm an extra 10gb which makes more sense and at R749 x24 20GB is more than enough for my needs. Buy now and ditch my old cradle/ antennae capable vodacom 3g dongle or rather buy a telkom LTE later in the year? Not sure how good the B593 router is but either way I need one and I can wait for a phone. Unless there's not a hell of a lot of difference between the 5 and 5 s (thanks for the warning on "C" plastic !) I just need voice quality via bluetooth to an amplifier and querty.
