getting a phone upgrade, would an iphone be too expensive for me?

Im 18 and a college student. I have a job and I work about 15-25 hrs a week. I have a little over $4,000 right now saved up.

I just pay for when I go out,necessities,clothes, gas for my car, other things etc. When I get my new phone i wanted to pay my own cell phone bill. I want to because it will help me manage my money better and I dont want to mooch off of my parents. I feel I am old enough to pay for it myself, so I should.

I was thinking of getting the iphone, but I am worried my monthly bill will be sky high and I wont be able to afford it. My dad has one and its over $100 a month. I probably could afford it, but I do not want to pay that much for a phone.

I want it cause ive had the ipod touch and I love the layout of it, I dont really like other touchscreen phones. I am still not sure.

Will an iphone be too expensive for me? I dont talk on the phone much but I text a lot. So I probably will have unlimited texting, and an internet plan.

Im just not sure.
I just want to save my money now that I am able to that im young and dont have a lot of bills. i just dont want to be paying too much just for a cell phone.
