The only thing I've concluded is that it will not be called the 4s. Calling it the 4s makes as much sense as Stevie Wonder picking out Elton John's wardrobe.
The iPhone 4S will come out in September, featuring an identical or nearly-identical case, along with the new A5 processor as found in the iPad 2, and possibly more RAM and more (optional) Flash memory than are found in the current iPhone 4. It'll probably be a universal phone, which for U.S. customers means the same phone will work on either Verizon or AT&T (and, likely, T-Mobile and Sprint as well).
The iPhone 5 will come out next summer, and Jobs only knows what that'll look like and what features it'll sport, though 4G capabilities are a good guess. There might also be a stripped version that sports less Flash RAM, depending on whatever cloud service Apple brings online for additional storage.
I wouldn't be surprised to see some kind of docking station become available too, one that allows it to be used as a full-fledged little PC when connected to a keyboard and monitor. Coupled with a stripped version of the iPhone 5 it could function as Apple's entry into the low-end computer market, and would instantly make them a viable mass-market player in much of Asia and Latin America.
Probably some mistranslation due to a bad phone line.
I'm guessing the lawns have been getting a bit long around Apple's HQ and in an attempt to keep things nice and tidy in the future, they have just ordered a load of "Grass cutting machines" and they made sure they ordered the type that can go round curved lawn edges
it is easy to curve glass you slump it in a carbon mold in a kiln ....
google it look up slumping glass ... you can make all sorts of things with some heat and some glass
they used to and still do make sheet glass by blowing a big cylinder of glass and cutting it and then you put it in a kiln and let gravity and heat flatten it out in to a sheet ....
Oh, thank God for the new curved glass!
My iPhone 4 is absolutely painful to have against my cheek and it will be so much better seeing photos and video curving at the edges.
THAT WILL BE SO COOL!!

Gee, how long did it take apple to get the colour right for the white iPhone? Now they are going to experiment with glass blowing techniques to curve the glass?
Let's just leave it the r&d boys to play around with for the iPhone 7, Steve, and just release a phone this year that fast, and reliable and a good iOS.

As opposed to a brick you hold against your face? Phone handsets have been curved for decades for a reason.
Yes you are so right, Apple will never do anything with curved glass!

Thanks arn. Finally understood what as curved class is.
Looking at my 5th-gen iPod nano. I really like it; especially the design. It is by far the best iPad nano, Apple's ever made.
A slim iPhone with a curved glass screen would be exciting.
It reminds me of one of those fancy looking gadgets, action movies stars used to held.
The curve really impresses me.
I WANT.

No, curved as in the Nexus S curve.
Hmm, seen some of the outfits he used to wear ?
They invested in similar sorts of tooling for the unibody macbooks. No one was using them and I seem to recall that the time it took to machine one body was quite long. I see no reason why they would not pull something like this. Additionally, I think the announcement now is just timing. Apple could have been prototyping these machines for some time know and have perfected things for the release. Since nothing of any note has been leaking out, its possible that we could see something completely new.
