And one more small detail...this little icon not only looks completely different then the iPhone 4, but it looks EXACTLY like the rumored iPhone 5 designs we've been seeing. Even the different radius corners & stubbier yet wider stature look exactly like the physical prototype (made from leaked design documents) we saw earlier today. C'mon guys. This icon is showing you (albeit in a crude, lo-res way) exactly what iPhone 5 will look like. open ur eyes and let out a sigh of relief! We are gonna get the jaw dropper of all jaw droppers.

Exactly.. all of the case-based rumors/specs so far have all looked identical. All the cases, this image, etc. I would be shocked if the iPhone 5 does NOT look like these leaked case specs we've been seeing in recent weeks.
 
My neck just popped so bad I got lightheaded and almost **** in my pants. Thought I was having a stroke when my left arm felt numb.
 
I'm taking the iPhone 5 event, like the iPad 2 one. No part leakage, only cases as evidence. Hope all goes well..
 
There will be no iPhone 5. I mean there has to be a leak somewhere (at least the 4" screen part) if there was indeed iPhone 5 in the works...or other part leaks such as back plate...

There will be iPhone 4S with the same screen, dual core, better camera, and bigger RAM (1GB). That's about it for the hardware change... (I guess you could count dual compatible GSM + CDMA antenna chip too)...

Disappointing since iPhone 4 has been released for almost year and a half now.......

Apple..what have you been doing all this time...

I guess we'll find about it once and for all next Tuesday..

there have been plenty of "parts leaks", most of which were likely fake, but some of which could indeed be genuine.

Even last year, when the actual iPhone 4 was physically in the hands of Gizmodo editors, no one here believed it. No iPhone part has ever leaked that was believed on this site, so anything that was real has already been dismissed as fake, which is why you think there hasn't been a leak yet
 
If you are disappointed and think that there will only be a 4S on Oct 4th, then Apple has pulled of its job really well in confusing everyone and lowering expectations. Now they will enjoy the benefit of your low expectations and when they reveal this gorgeous iPhone 5 on the screen on Oct 4th, you, among many others, will be the happiest people alive at this sight. Bam, Apple just smashed through expectations, which it loves to do.

I would love it if they pranked us all by first introducing an iPhone 4-look alike as the "New iPhone 5", then retracted and showed the real thing :)

I wouldn't discount that! All I know is that I'm glad I'll be reading a delayed blog about it and not have to experience that moment in person! :)
 
That's like saying I'm gonna take a morning dump, that's a given. Whether iPhone 5 be introduced on the 4th or next summer is a different story.
Umm, he never said when the iPhone 5 will be introduced, he simply said that there will be an iPhone 5. Besides, taking a morning dump isn't a ritualistic given either.

That was my point, it's coming, when is anyones guess.

For me it is, I have to clinch in order to not start my morning off with a bang.

I guess by your logic there was never going to be an iPad either. If you recall, there was no back plate, no screen, and no part leaks until we saw the half-covered totally unrecognizable iPad the night before the announcement...
 
iPhone 5 -- 4" screen, 8mp camera, A5, slightly tapered design.

I always go back to a post on thisismynext. In the article, they went over a few things that they heard in regards to why there will be a redesign and why we have been hearing about an iPhone 4S.

1) the iPhone 4 design has fell out of favor from the higher ups at apple
2) they also made it clear the only reason for the 4S talk was because they are testing the internals in an iPhone 4 like shell
 
I think Apple want to get rid of the IP4 design as soon as possible for there flagship device. That whole attena issue was a problem, and while they could fix it by modifying it slightly, people would feel a lot happier about the issue being fixed if a whole new design was created.

I just don't see how Apple can remain truly competitive with just a spec bumped IP4.

I wouldn't say nobody believes. It's funny, people on this site seem to go from one extreme to the other. Either everything is fake or "OMG!! The iPhone 5 is REAL!!"

Me, I've learned to read everything with some skepticism while keeping a little hope. Unless I see some obvious flaw, I don't automatically dismiss something as fake or photoshopped, but I also don't assume it couldn't possibly be fake or at least a mistake.

I stand somewhere in the middle on the existence of the iPhone 5 right now. Even though a few sources I follow seem to say it isn't happening, I can't completely deny that the cases floating about have come from something real. So, I think I lean toward the fact that it does exist and I'm hoping we see it announced on the 4th.

rumors are rumors... no one knows what there will be even based on the inventory crap... that says nothing. we will have to wait till Tuesday.. easy answer
 
i've think we established there's going to be an iPhone 5, esp with all those iPhone 5 cases, which I would like to add have been found in AT&T stores now.
