Ya, but the other phone in iTunes is listed as iPhone N94AP, so maybe this one will be listed as N90AAP.
I don't know what AP stands for.arn
I love when posts get voted down just cuz u tell people something they don't wanna hear. There is no iphone 5 coming Tuesday. If there is, Apple has done a masterful job at keeping it 100% on lockdown. And yes, I'm utterly disappointed in this news.
The beta might indicate that this N90A will just be called "iPhone 4", indicating that apple will quietly change the internals of the iPhone, and not publicly announce it. Anyone understand what I'm getting at?
This is a total clusterf****. The iPhone 4S is supposedly the low-end iPhone and now we have this?
?
How does dumping a ton of engineering into squeezing an A5, a better camera, multiple antenna systems, and who knows what else into the little iPhone 4 casing make a phone cheaper, exactly?
Reducing the capacity of a year-old design, however, should be nice and cheap.
There is an iPhone that will succeed the iPhone 4. Logically, if you had to put a name on it, it would be called "iPhone 5". So if you are told to put in a dummy SKU for the next iPhone, the intern is going to name it "iPhone 5".
But that doesn't mean that iPhone 5 = "iPhone 5 w/ tapered design" that has been circulating.

It stands for Apple Phone I think. And the N90AP is the original iPhone 4

Monday is going to go so slow.. All I want is a awesome product that Apple has been able to hide for 15 months.....
I wish I did not have so many m4ps in my collection. FairPlay is not the fair these days.
I can understand them not redesigning the phone, but I cannot understand the name '4S' at all. But, it will sell well, like everything else with a bitten off apple on the back of it.
I kind of wonder if they aren't setting this all up to be the same across all carriers.
Right now ATT has 3G and 4 and whatever they release next. Everyone else just has 2, nothing on the super low end.
I think they might do this:
Cheap 4: Free with contract (ATT has wanted this for a LONG time)
4S: $49-99 mid-range phone
5: $199-299 top-tier
It makes sense to me that if they wanted to redo their launch time, they might want to reconsider which sub-markets (high tier, mid, low) they compete in.
They stand to gain by offering a "free" phone because the provider subsidizes and all app store money goes to apple.
Just my .02.
Also First Post!

Which device can't play AAC (mpeg 4) at this point? Unless you mean they are the older DRM tracks.
As long as the 4S has a bigger screen then I'm fine, but no, just a 4S after 16 months is just BS.
So we have a lower end 4 and an improved 4S leaked. I am guessing the 4 won't even be mentioned like the 8gb 3GS wasn't mentioned at the 4's introduction. It will just appear.
I am also guessing the 4S took so long because iCloud is a big deal and took its sweet time getting developed. No way it would've been ready by the regular release time for revamped iPhones.
As of right now, this is a disappointing hardware refresh. Prove us wrong Apple.
