iPhone 4GS?

[LoganT]

The iPhone 3G was released JULY 2008, not JUNE 2008.

Wow, HUGE difference.

Yup, I think this makes the OP's decision that much harder. I'm waiting for the iPhone 62G myself. I hear it'll have a notification lock screen by then.

I don't think Apple will do the 3G/3GS numbering anymore. It's confusing enough for the lay consumers that iPhone 4 is not 4G. I think from now on, Apple will just do a plain numbering system (eg. iPhone 5, iPhone 6, etc), and then when LTE comes, maybe it will be iPhone x 4G.

I agree, but I actually thing it should just be called "iPhone." A MacBook is a Macbook. An iPod nano is an iPod nano. So why does the iPhone need some extra identification?

Well, a Macbook is a Macbook because whenever Apple release a new lineup, the old lineup is gone. Same thing with the iPod nano. Meanwhile, they are keeping the iPhone 3G when they released the 3GS, and now there are 3GS and 4. So they need something to differentiate the different models.

If they come out with a 64GB iPhone 4 mid-cycle like they did with the 16GB original iPhone I'm going to rage so hard.

And then I'm going to buy it at full price.

Good point. I think that iPhone 4, iPhone 5, iPhone 6, etc. would be appropriate for the next gen models then.

I doubt it. Flash memory prices are actually on the rise.

And... The iPod touch only has 64 GB because it has two slots for flash memory (32 + 32), while the iPhone currently has only one slot.

Let's see...

Original iPhone: June 2007
iPhone 3G: June 2008
iPhone 3GS: June 2009
iPhone 4: June 2010

Stop me if you think you see a pattern!

Mark

iPhone 4G: June 2011
iPhone 4GS: June 2012
iPhone 5: June 2013

 

[The General]

iPhone 4G: June 2011
iPhone 4GS: June 2012
iPhone 5: June 2013

It would be iPhone 7, not 5. unless 5 stands for something other than "generation 5"

What's sure is that we won't see a design change for a while. At least till WWDC 2012, maybe 2013.

And it's very good for accessories.
