'iPhone 4S' Cases Already Arriving?
- Thread starter MacRumors

What would they do if the iPhone that comes out is different.... Like they made those cases base on rumors?
I for one hope that even if there isn't a major redesign, that the battery lasts longer than any phone out there. I'm in love with the current design so I wouldn't be too disappointed if there wasn't an upgrade, but I just want_a_reliable_battery.
I'm in line to get a new phone, but of course I'm one of the millions out there that are waiting for the new iPhone. One tiny little thing I ask for is that the
logo on the back of the phone lights up 
. I think that would be really neat.

Steve Jobs: Let's make an iPhone 5.
Tim Cook: Let's stick with the iPhone 4.
He just doesn't have that "vision thing"!

Can somebody clarify what the hell is going on here?
It looks like references to BGRs fail have been deleted.
How does that relate to the picture of the 4s otterbox packaging?
Where were the photos of the 4s box taken? And why the heck didn't they take a picture of a case too?

Is he deleting his tweets? Or does he have some other name he uses? I can't find anything about him at a store.
Why would a store have an empty box? That makes no sense. It also makes no sense that stores would have cases this early.
I'd guess he has a source at otter box. He did quote production numbers for the cases.
Or it's all a bunch of crap.
Wow, impatient much?
It's not like an iPhone breaks down after a year or two. It's not a Ford Pinto.
Where do you live? I see them EVERYWHERE in Philadelphia. The Otterbox seems to be the case to have if you're a commuter on the suburban trains into the city.
Exactly otter box knowns what's coming and probably apple is telling this companies to leak this cases so when iPhone 5 comes out it will be a huge surprise
I literally could care less if there's a 4S or a 5... either way, it's a new iPhone and I need an upgrade from my original Droid X regardless. If it's faster than the 4, has a better camera, and more storage, I'll be happy. As long as it's able to handle all the OS updates for the next 2 years, it'll be all I need. A full blown redesign would be great too, but nobody had problems when we got a 3GS instead of the 4 after the 3G... the 3GS was an amazing upgrade to the 3G in my opinion. If there is a 4S, and it is an evolutionary upgrade in the way that the 3GS was to the 3G, I'll be more than pleased.
When it costs 25 cents to make something that sells for $20-30 they can afford to take the risk.
If you look at the lower right hand corner of the 4S on there... the yellow corner pokes out into the texture pattern. Something I couldn't find duplicated on the whole rest of the image. Seems to me to be a Photoshop job, not even smoothed or anything, just color matched well. Going to see if I can reproduce the effect myself and find out
And we don't even know if a case actually exists. It is just a picture of a box at this point. No pictures of any actual case.
Well, that just about does it.... Apple has confused the hell out of everyone. Tech media, regular media, analysts, users, enthusiasts, and probably many of their own employees. Well played Tim Cook (er, Steve Jobs maybe?), well played.

He has @Chronic and @Chronicwire.
Edit:
He's saying no iPhone 5....I hope he's wrong. However, if the iPhone 4S is enough of an upgrade performance-wise, I'll get it anyway.
iPhone 4S? Nah...
My prediction, they're not going to just add S for Speed. They'll likely add G, as in, LTE sporting iPhone 4G. BAM! Nearly 50% of the nation has 4G under Verizon, don't leave them hanging Apple!
If only unicorns and leprechauns existed...

Long time reader, first time posting
I've read every thread that contains any bit of info on the next iPhone. I'd like to replace my 3s asap. It has become a slug on the latest iOS's and every time I use the camera I get random freezes and app crashes.
The truth is guys, I haven't slept in 78 days waiting for this announcement. I can't eat or go outside. I am having trouble coping with reality and I feel like I am vibrating right now. My question is....Can I get some more cowbell?

I'm going to cry if there's no iPhone 5 this year. In fact, I'm going to cry at Tim Cook's door.
I no cry. I just stay iPhone4.
If Tim has first big release as CEO be rehash of 1.5 year old phone, it will look bad. So I think this will not happen.
Unless Steve Job want to make Cook look bad so Jobs look like the greatest. That seem possible because of Jobs giant ego.
