It's a world phone and doesn't have two separate versions; the antenna layout is the same as the CDMA phone but supports both CDMA and GSM.
Because people are stupid. "Oh, you have an iPhone 3? I have an iPhone 3G. Mine's probably better, it has more G's."
You are still ready to believe that after 'iPhone 4S' showed up in iTunes Beta. You need to stop dreaming about iPhone 5. It's bad news but still a fact which we all have to face.
But Apple doesn't let you see what they send you. Corporate stores rarely if ever know anything before we do.
Don't burst my tiny little bubble.
But Apple wouldn't have sent the cases would they? Lol the case manufacturer would have, in which case it's open season for us.
Lol don't worry....my bubble is deflated as well. I was getting pumped over getting a new iPhone design since this would be my first one. I'm an Android fan, but I think both platforms are great. Only wished the screen was a bit bigger. The time I finally save up money and get ready to pull the trigger, it turns out to be the same iPhone I could have gotten 16 months ago with some cloud and voice command features tacked on that I already had since the G1.....
There still is an outside chance though. I know we came across a few inventory entries listed as "New Product", that carried the same price as cases in store. We're hoping these are the iPhone 5 cases.
Curiously enough, my store is in the same city as corporate headquarters for AT&T Mobility. A few weeks ago, one of my manager's associates who worked in the emerging devices department, dealing with NDA devices came in to buy a stylus for his HTC Jetstream. He never went into real details about his job, but he did mention how excited he was for the LTE devices and how the company had big things coming up. I mentioned how a lot of customers were holding off waiting on iPhone 5 news. To which he gave a rather unenthusiastic reply about if it wasn't going to have LTE, then there was no reason for him to buy it. I thought he was just being Team Android, but now I'm wondering if subtly he was trying to let me down easy.
If this upcoming phone is called 4S, that won't happen
No apocalypse anytime soon then Unless they call the next iOS, iOS 5S
how about made in the US for a change?!!!
when are we going to start manufacturing anything in the USA again. in the old days anything made in china was second rate.

It would be refreshing not to see "Made in China" for once.
Eh, I'll be buying either way, as will millions of others.
I am hoping for a redesign, but the sentiment that the device will be a complete failure if it isn't redesigned and named "5" only exists within the bubble of rumor sites.

People do this because the numbering and suffix usually indicates a redesign or not. An "S" simply added to a 4 would signify no redesign, and a 5 would likely signal a redesign. That's why there's so much fuss over it.
The icon does not show the left side of the iPhone where the SIM card slot is located.
I'm sure Apple will call the next iPhone after the 4S, which will be the 6th iPhone: iPhone LTE.

1) whenever companies are allowed to pay workers the same as overseas
or
2) whenever consumers are ready to pay a lot more
Only a bunch of strange people in a forum worried about numerology care about that.
Real businesses make decisions based on more important factors, such as the form factor of the phone not changing from the iPhone 4 design.
I personally think Apple should drop the numbering/naming and just do what they do with the iPods and Macs.

So basically, never.
I just don't like 4S as a name. It just confuses customers. Not that they need help being confused. 34% of iPhone users think they have 4G. ROFL
No redesign? No problem.
Why is no case redesign such a huge problem here? It sounds like nearly every component of the rumored 4S will be pretty significantly improved.
Plus iOS 5 sounds awesome and Assistant could be real Jetsons type stuff.
so stop whining already!
