Answer
If I were you and knew that a new iPhone was coming out in June which is only 3 months away, and I didn't mind paying $200 to $300 for it, I would definitely wait. If I wanted an iPhone and wanted to pay less, then I would still wait and buy the iPhone 4 (assuming it may come down in price when the new one comes out). The iPhone 4 was introduced almost a year ago once the iPhone 5 comes out. There will always be something newer and better but when you are close to a new release coming out, I would suggest you wait unless you have to buy something now
