Absolutely. I dislike the design of the 4 enough without replacing it with ... the same design. I don't think they would sell many at all if this were the case, NPI.
If there will be no iPhone 5 then things are about to get ugly...
All you stock holders better check the #'s on tuesday.

I'm thinking the keynote on Tuesday will not have the same atmosphere with Tim as with Steve. Steve gave off that "passion" vibe - the vibe that he's the head of the company and he's loving to tell you about the next new product.
I don't know about Tim.

Why have they pulled the beta os?

Lots of people seem certain that without a big cosmetic change the next iPhone can't possibly maintain the market share that Apple want.
This is odd, because...
iPhone 3GS - looks the same as the iPhone 3G which came out in July 2008. That's over 3 years ago. And how's the 3GS doing sales wise? Second best selling phone on the market!
And what's it second to? The iPhone 4!
So, what I'm asking here is, if the iPhone 3GS with a 3 and a bit year old design can do so well, why are people so sure that the iPhone 4 which is only 16-17 months old needs a facelift?

Yeah, where are they getting this information? Also, where are they getting the information that an iPad 3 WON'T be released on Tuesday either? or MacPro refreshes? How do they keep saying with such confidence these things won't be released on Tuesday?
That's still a bet.
What you meant to say is that you're cheap.
Not cheap at all, but I take no pleasure in taking people's money for being correct. That feels cheap.
Not long till we see him again i think
Apple lower expectations via leaks of iPhone 4's, everyone expects low key upgrade on Tuesday with Tim Cook making a geeky speech
10am Steve Jobs walks on stage and unveils revolutionary iPhone 5
Its gonna happen
Sounds pretty awesome to me. Then again, I'm still using a 3GS so it'd be a rather large upgrade for me. But, I also upgraded from a 3G to the 3GS and have never regretted it. Extra speed does make a big difference, and it will be compatible with apps that take advantage of A5 features for longer (for example, full screen antialiasing or complex shaders).
And they had to of known that because of these major improvements to the software, they had a lot more time to design the iPhone 5. Software teams and hardware teams are entirely different, even though they have to be on the same page.
I still say iPhone 4s is just an upgraded 4 and the iPhone 5 has 4 inch screen, 8mp camera, a5, slightly tapered.

That's wishful thinking. It's very unlikely even one of those scenarios will happen.
+1
if there is just a spec bump the apple will sell just as many phones as if there was a new design. I for one hope there is a iPhone 5 with a new design but I will most likely buy the cheapest unlocked iPhone that works internationally.
He will
I will get a tattoo of I Love Steve Ballmer done if Steve Jobs does not do at least part of the keynote

Because that was 3 years ago and the iphone had no competition and they could afford to go without a re-design. Times change.
