October -> June isn't a year.
It would be a first for Apple to change the cycle significantly such that devices are released every 6-8 months and not 12-ish.
Got a tip for us?

No, no -- because of the continual threat from Zune, there will now be a brown iPhone.
I don't agree. How about when I want to use it as an iPod and listen to my music and Ihave my phone in my pocket. That would mean either of two solutions.
1. You have the iPhone in the right way around with your headphones losing a few inches of length by going back up the iPhone and out of your pocket and your iPhone not balancing well in your pocket.
2. You put your iPhone inside your pocket upside down.
Awwww bless, some people cant win can they. Like having the money to buy a 35k car alone isnt enough then moaning about $100 for a new connector.
Bless
Headphone jack on the bottom = lame.
Not a good design for my every day use. I keep my phone in my coat pocket. Unless the UI rotates, I'm looking at an upside down phone while using headphones, or twisting and eventually shorting out the ($45) cable on them.

Why does everyone say things like "Steve would not approve of this" or "it would have him rolling in his grave"? He probably put a large amounts of input into this phone before his passing.

on the other hand you have people overreact because it didn't change enough with each phone.

I do too, its easier to get it out and twist your hand and you have the screen facing toward you. Your the one doing it wrong! lol.
GAH! Ill wait to see what it actually looks like, but if its actually looks that bad (to me) Ill be buying a gelaskin cover to hide that backing
One of the comments Jobs made before he passed was.... Don't ask what would Steve have done.
Incredibly un-apple
This looks off with the rest of their products to me. The separate materials looks ridiculous and I really hope this isn't what I have to look forward to this year...

Not really, if you put your iPhone in your pocket with the screen facing your skin then theirs no need to take it out by rotating it or flipping it upside down.
Change the design to what end... change for the sake of change?
Look at other products.... cars - how much do car designs change year to year? About the only thing that changes constantly is women's fashion.
Can I ask this:
What design, or technical benefit would/could Apple get from having a dual finish/material backing?

I wonder what that little hole is in between the camera and the flash?
EDIT: Maybe they relocated the ambient noise mic since the headphone jack is on the bottom now, and I believe they were on the same ribbon cable before...?

I'm pretty sure that's the case here. Did you notice the long pinky nail on the hand holding the rear shell of the case? I know that some Chinese men keep just their pinky nails long for various purposes.
