Woah, thanks for the list
. Will be able to kill a good 30mins of waiting time reading through this & imagining how cool it'd be Probably a few times over the next few days too xD
You guys know full well what people mean so don't pretend to be so high and mighty and wise. There's a delay from the expected release date. That's what everyone means and you know it. Don't be idiots.
I think anything short of a major update (ie. iPhone 5, and not an "iPhone 4S") will be disappointing to most people who have waited.
And really, no one can say for sure which it'll be. There are enough rumors and speculations that it can go either way. The best scenario is if both were true: a reasonably affordable upgraded 4, and a completely redesigned 5.
I think it's somewhat ironic that now Apple has a "cheap" version of their phone; a key point that Apple fanboys insist is what makes the iPhone so premium. The cheap version may even be plastic or cheaper material in general, which is a knock often used against other devices (namely Samsung). I'm no fanboy one way or another; I think Apple is wise to tap into that market.

Yup...If Apple doesn't say anything until 2020, technically there is no delay. But c'mon guys, u know exactly what I mean.
And Hankster...When Apple "officially" announces a delay, I'll be sure to post it on macfacts.com. Until then, I'll continue to post any rumors or speculation on macRUMORS.com. thanks for the heads up though!
This is IMO part of the reason. It never made sense to separate the iPhone release from that of the iPod touch. Apple was being redundant in highlighting the iPod touch features due to IOS being the same for that and the iPhone.
Thanks for this. At least we now know that any moves the carriers are making are based off the same speculation we have and they don't know something we don't.
This is exactly the point I was gonna make. Starting at WWDC, Apple announced so many cool things to be released this year (and neglected to mention the one thing we wanted to know). By releasing everything at once, they'll create a bigger media impact than any of these products/features being released on their own. Plus, it makes sense since all these services/releases tie into one another very seamlessly.
It's fun to read everyone's take on the potential release. Especially the really impatient ones.
It's going to be an interesting new model, yet it's important to remember it's only a phone. One with a lifespan of just months before iPhone 6.

Exactly it's only a phone. One that Apple has never even casually admitted exists. They could skip this year altogether and release iPhone 5 in 2012. With the cash they have sitting in the bank I hardly see what they have to be worried about. They're not going to do that but it's not like the company is hanging on by a thread and hoping to be rescued by this mythical device.
That said I'll be getting one on launch day.
September just started. Chill out.
"The Fall" (for iOS 5, clearly coming with new hardware) was Apples *wink* to us . . . Fall 2011 starts Sept 23.
Until then relax, If no news by then, I guess it'd be cool/acceptable to speculate.
Go outside & play or something.

Since all rumors point towards iPhone 6 having both the upcoming A6 chip & the hybrid iOS, I wouldn't be surprised if it got pushed till Q1 2013. Yet that's still just a matter of months. Time flies. At least for me.
I've got so many interesting things going on, waiting is never an issue. Especially when it comes to smartphones since I enjoy Android as well. It's fun to have a couple of lines & choices of phones.

lol people are getting their knickers in a twist cos the iPhone didn't come out when they, who have no actual idea of the release date and are calling that it's delayed and us who actually use logic and listen to facts are idiots?? what world are you living in??
There's no delay. Apple have simply changed when they release the iPhone. That's not a delay, that's just a change of release time. If it's later than Joe Public's idea of release time is not a delay. If Apple had said all along that they were releasing in the summer then changed it to fall, that would be a delay.
anyone that thinks otherwise is just being silly.

I wouldn't say that anyone that thinks that is an idiot....if you look at it, the reason that some are calling this a delay is because of the fact that Apple has released an iPhone every year in June/July since it's creation, creating a "normal product cycle." The fact that they have failed to do so this year can, in a way, be viewed as a "delay."
On another note, I was talking to a friend who works at Apple (part of the product marketing team) that I've known for a long time (a few years) and while he/she didn't flat out say it, he/she essentially told me that they are aiming for a September release (this could mean that they are releasing it in September or they are announcing). Either way, after talking with my friend, I am convinced that there will be a new iPhone soon.
iF APPLE are waiting this long they must be
A- an issue getting enough stock in to sell the thing to so many people
B-they are planning a major update and not just a bigger screen, camera
surely they wouldn't wait this long just to have a bigger screen, battery life and camera?

Unless it's a problem with iOS5 that's holding it back. Or an issue with component supply. Or a problem with quality control. There's heaps of possible reasons for a later-than-usual announcement.

hahaha, indeed
Although Apple never admitted releasing the iPhone 5 this year, i highly doubt that they will wait much longer to release it. Just think about it, if they don't release it anytime soon, they will fall behind, new technological developments will start to show up, people start to buy other phones (android, etc), Apple looses. This is basic economy guys.
Indeed. iPhone 5 should (must) arrive latest byOctober. Apple has already seeded iOS 5's almost final build to the carriers worldwide for FaceTime & iMessage connectivity.

Strange question, since the EVO only was on Sprint, and the iPhone was not available there. So one answer is:
EVOs outsold iPhones on Sprint.
Now, next year it could be a different story on Sprint.
Or C - they are changing the release to release with the iPods as I said. makes more sense to release them together and makes sense moving the iPhones to the same time as the iPods. I wouldn't be surprised if the iPad got shifted next year too.
