iPhone model names have NEVER corresponded to generations.They may have accidentally been the same on occasion but the numbers simply do not denote gererations. Why do people suddenly think they should?

Well, it's official. It's the iPhone 5; everyone else can shut up about it now.
They dropped the naming from iPad because the iPad mini is coming out. iPad 4 and iPad mini 2? I think not. iPad and iPad mini? I think so.Ew. So instead of calling the 2012 iPad--which actually is the 3rd iPad--the iPad 3, they call it the iPad. For clarity.
Then the same year, they decide to call the 2012 iPhone the iPhone 5--despite the fact that it is neither the 5th major version of its shell, but the 3rd; nor the 5th phone they released, since it's the 6th)
Backwards. As hell.
Ok here's a thought... Do you think apple is calling it the iPhone 5 instead of the new iPhone because it's with the new dock connector? Well that's not necissarily why but think of this. They called it the new iPad and not iPad 3. So are they going to revamp the new iPad with a new dock connecter etc. and call it iPad 3 later this year? And i know they're calling it iPhone 5 because of 4,4s.
Oh noes! A 5!
The iPhone 6 trolls will be vanquished forever, driven back to their caves of lunacy by a shimmering sword of common sense!
5!
I have nothing else to add I suppose, at least without seeming petty.

Very cool. Wondering what they will surprise us with.

Someone needs to write a letter to Phil Schiller and explain to him that this CANNOT be "iPhone 5" because this is actually the 6th generation iPhone.

These kind of posts are why we need a downvote button. Or the removal of the upvote button at the very least.
And back on topic.
It is obvious about the 5. Apple obviously did it on purpose. We've had part leaks for months. Part manufacturing estimate leaks etc etc and the list goes on. Just nice for Apple to confirm what we all, all ready know.
This thread is mostly full of morons.
It was always going to be called the iPhone 5, we didn't need 26+ pages to tell us that.
Looking forward to a week on Wednesday about 9PM UK time. I'll have my beers ready.
Oh, I liked the humble 'Eating Crow' thing, tickled me.
