Cheaper iPhone 4 'N90A' Photos Leak from Foxconn Factory

Nice. Have you heard the new album? I received it Wednesday from preorder and I'm not sure what to think about it.

Cool coincidence too, I usually take them as a sign that I'm on the right track. Maybe this is another omen for there being no 5 on Tuesday. ;)

I've literally listened to the new album about 30 times or more. I can't stop listening to it. I think I'm in the minority, but this is my second favorite blink album behind Enema of the State. I personally love Angels & Airwaves, and I think it does a good job of mixing the traditional blink and AVA, but leaves some songs with a distinct blink feel like Natives and Heart's All Gone especially.

Btw, I got the leak that came out two and a half weeks ago before getting the album, I haven't listened to it over 30 times in 4 days lol. Only song I can't get into is Fighting the Gravity. Talking about the Deluxe Edition, I don't believe that's on the normal one.

Are you guys seriously proposing that there is going to be a new iPhone 4 and an iPhone 4S? Hahah

There will be an iPhone 4 that is the low-end model that will replace the current low-end 3GS. The only thing 'new' about this low-end iPhone 4 is that it has 8GB's of storage.
 
I'm really happy to see Apple is finally entering a more budget conscious market, Its probably because Android now has a big chunk of marketshare..

Still it's nice to see and I hope we see Apple extend that onto Desktops and Laptops as well..

Sorry to be off topic but you've been here for NINE YEARS and you're still a newbie ?

Man you need an honorary degree or something . :D

Yeah I know. It's what happens when you sign up for an account & then forget about it till years later... :eek:
 
while I am still hopeful about the Iphone5 I have been waiting to upgrade my 3gs, Tuesday will be true :D fingers cross!
 
have sim will travel

i agree. i was starting to get confused but you confirmed what what i thought the sim was designed for.:)

The logic of this is failed, the new iTunes Beta 9 CDMA icon would have to have a SIM slot on it if it's to be a true world phone, ala iPhone 4S.

If there is no iPhone 5 WHY are all these carriers showing iPhone 5 stuff ??

This is confusing.

Its a place holder in their logistics and inventory system. Friend of mine works for a large international carrier in managerial level and has no idea what's coming. They only know it's the new iPhone but that's the far as it goes. These are the same guys who are responsible for day to day operations so that explains why you have something like iPhone 5 in the inventory lists as a placeholder. You have to be a top executive have real knowledge of future iPhones and those guys have nothing to do with these lists.

Yeah dude, I received the deluxe edition so I have Fighting the Gravity and I can understand why it was dropped.... there's nothing deluxe about it though so I could have done without.

I've had severe 90s nostalgia lately and it's probably partly to blame for why I've been lukewarm on the album. Enema's my favorite, too, but I'm not big into AVA. I need more "umph" - like the old blink. Right now my favorites are Natives, Kaleidoscope, and Even if She Falls. Though, with me, the more I listen to albums, the more my favorites tend to shift to songs I didn't like much at first for some reason.

Anyway- sorry to veer off topic. Guess I better mention the iPhone so I don't get penalized:

iPhone 4S / 5

:cool:
 
I'm still sticking to both an iPhone 4s and an iPhone 5.

I just think Apple was embarrassed by the whole iPhone 4 situation that they have covered their tracks very well.
I keep referring to this post written by someone who has contacts in the foxconn plant.
He was right about the iPad 2 3G in China. He was also right about production problems for the white iPhone 4.
He claims there is both a 4s and a 5. The 5 has 4 inch screen, but he said 10 million (at least that's what it said when I translated it) units had a defect.
Days later, there was a report on 9to5mac or appleinsider that said There were manufacturing issues. Apparently bubbles were forming under the glass.

He says it was supposed to come in September but iOS 5 wasn't ready. And then they had those screen issues with the 5. He states iPhone 4s has been ready to go, but iPhone 5 has held it up.

Whether you believe this guy or not, still a good read. You can check his other posts too. All apple related.

if this fails , im going Windows phone 7 then. :)

that's probably a good idea. WP 7.5 Mango kick a@@. Like the Arstechnica review says. It's fun, fast & easy to use. The software, in many ways, is ahead of iOS & Android.

I haven't switched yet cuz I'm curious to see what happens Tuesday but like yourself I'm compelled to.
 
Why the **** would apple make their low-end prepaid/free with 2 year contract iphone look exactly like their flagship iphone.... Even if the internals are diff im sure they must want ppl to be able to distinguish between the two

If there is no redesigned iPhone 5 I'm going to get the HTC Radar or titan :)

People said the same thing about the resolution on the 3GS. Then the iPhone 4 came out and blew people away. Having handled larger screen phones, I guarantee there is a benefit to more screen real estate. Especially when browsing the web, reading books, or playing games.

"...I guarantee there is a benefit to more screen real estate. Especially when browsing the web, reading books, or playing games."

That's what the iPad 2 is for
 
Sounds like we'll be getting a cheap iPhone 4 and a new 4S with improved internals, just like with the 3GS. I'm really not sure why people are still expecting a 5, there has been quite literally ZERO concrete evidence of a redesigned iPhone.

Hopefully that's just my pessimistic nature though... prove me wrong Apple :)

Hey Arn, how many leaked iPhone 4 production pictures were leaked before the official announcement last summer?
Click to expand...

It's not really a fair comparison, since the iPhone 4 was completely outed and disassembled (gizmodo leak) well, before the production ramp. So there was no real demand for production photos.

Wait, why is everyone convinced that this is the next iPhone? It's the same exact thing as the current one. I could take a picture of them and write an "a" next to "N90" and pass them off as new. Also, these people who are "well it's confirmed guys, no iPhone 5." are starting to get on my nerves. Just wait till Tuesday. Each rumor has contradicted the last, so nothing's been "confirmed"., and it won't be until then.

why is everyone seemingly obsessed with a re-design?

Shouldn't it be functionality over form?
Click to expand...

A bigger form would enable a more functional device. the current screen is a bit cramped.

The iPhone 4S found in the iTunes beta might be something to throw us off, and references to iPhone 5 will be in the final iTunes version? I personally think there will be an iPhone 5. With phones like the Galaxy S II, it would be suicide to not release something newer than just a spec upgrade after this long.

It would be quite sad if they do release an iPhone 4S with the same form factor because current iPhone 4 owners will have to live with the fact that they have the slower, antennagate phone :(

it would also help the USA unemployment numbers as well.

only if wages were based on US living standards (not at or below min wage) and corporate honchos/shareholders didn't care so much for profit margins

so again, never

These will replace the 3Gs as the low end model iPhone. The 4S will then be released as a GSM/CDMA upgraded iPhone 4 which will drop to a subsidized $100 price point. And then the redesigned iPhone 5 will be releases
Looking all badass and sexy. Just a theory, 3 iPhone models, why not?
