Why do people keep blabbing on about 4G?? It will NOT have it. You can almost guarantee it.
Because as far as I know, America is the only country that has so far developed a 4G network, here in the UK it won't be ready for a couple more years yet, and you know what? I'm glad, I mean we get HSDPA etc etc already, what the hell are you going to do on an iPhone exactly with even faster speeds?

Anyway, unless Apple makes specific models for specific markets with specific radios, 4G ain't happening. And I would imaging that Apple will want to reduce cost and fit a global radio and it cannot do that with 4G.
I'm happy for American to have finally caught up with the rest of the World, but it has jumped the gun a bit, but you need to if the techs there, use it.
I think 4G will be next year.
 
what the hell is the point of an iPhone 4, and iPhone 4S and an iPhone 4 less... the current model, the 94 and 90... What the hell is point of having three almost identical models on the market. None of it makes any sense. I don't think there will be a re-design, simply cause apple hasn't surprised us with an actual one more thing in many many years...

We have 4G LTE here in Canada from two carriers.

4G in the United States is HSDPA. That is what Tmobile and ATT are using at least. The only true 4g is LTE which isn't widely used yet. So yes you guys in the U.K. technically have 4g with your HSDPA speeds. We in the U.S. are still stuck with 3g iphones going at 2mb download speeds at max.

You'd be wrong. You should Google these things before posting and looking foolish. Just a suggestion.

Sweden has 4G (well, 3.9 aka LTE but who cares). Then again, we developed the technology Verizon is using, so only seems right :- )

LTE+ is 4G, LTE is not. No one ANYWHERE has 4G, nor will they for some time.

hdspa is not 4G, its 3.5G (3G on 'roids). Actually, as stated above, LTE isnt really 4G either (3.9), but meh... anyway, as stated hdspa != 4G.

We have 4G LTE here in sweden! Sweden was also the first country in the world to offer LTE 4G
 
4S = N90A resembles iPhone 4, antennagate is improved, processor for Assistant is installed, work on CDMA/GSM.
5 = N94 is a new design, has 8MP camera, processor for Assistant is installed, works on CDMA/GSM.
 
LTE+ is 4G, LTE is not. No one ANYWHERE has 4G, nor will they for some time.

You know were talking like 12 months maximum? (before we have LTE-A, that is).

"we", being "early adopters in select areas". not so "we" i guess, but still... you said no one :- )
 
Apple needs to release an iPhone 5 or they will lose a lot of customers. Windows Phone will be rocking with the new Nokia handsets coming in the next month or two. And there's some amazing Android handsets in the pipeline.
 
iPhone 4S

The way I see it... buying an iPhone 4S is like someone buying you a shot of Wild Turkey.

Do you need it... No
Are you going to take it... Yes
Are you going to regret it later... Maybe
 
Gruber said an N94 exists so if an N90 exists this conclusively says 4S AND 5.

No, N90 has been confirmed as the 8GB iPhone 4.

N94 was confirmed as the 4S.

Nothing was confirmed as anything. Nothing is confirmed until Tuesday.

Stop saying 'confirmed'. Unless Cook had already walked off stage and the whole event is over, nothing is confirmed.

BTW the iTunes beta confirming the 4S was most likely faked
