iPhone 4S confirmed!!

Isn't this, among all of the other threads that are filled with confirmations and evidence, enough to tell us all that there will be no iPhone 5?
Sadly, I think we must all lower our very high expectations within this remaining half hour and face the truth.
I know, the truth hurts, but it's better than lies.
The most disappointing thing to me is they're keeping the same background wallpaper for iOS 5 that they gave us in iOS 4... I mean... doesn't a major iOS update warent a new wallpaper? Like OS X...
And since it is an iPhone 4S, wouldn't an updated wallpaper image be a great way to distinguish it in product photos?

You heard it here folks- I tweeted @MacRumors, @arn, @Engadget, @joshuatopolsky, and @verge about it (but didn't get a mention in the official news threads on any of em! A "Thanks to: Abyssgh0st" would have been nice).
Seems like 2/5 have posted about it. Good job Troop on posting those Apple Store server photos.
Looks like no iPhone 5 this year- 4S reigns.

Definitely confirmed now and they are like 16 hours ahead of where I and Apple is based in. It is what it is and not really surprising. Been a little disappointing to just call it 4S. But we will see if there is ONE MORE THING... If there is an iPhone 5, it definitely is one of the best kept secret and Apple just trying to throw us off with just a 4S.
OT, but I stayed at Ginza. Very beautiful district of Tokyo. I would love to go back there and check out that Apple Store.

Every new confirmation hurts more and more.

I'm crushed. I really felt like a redesign was coming...this is difficult to stomach. The only positive here is that I feel no need to upgrade and won't.
Very sad I waited all this time when I could have just gotten an iPhone 4 in January
Should've just gotten one then! I got my iPhone 4 in July. Why so late? Because thats when I needed to get a new phone.
Next time, just get what you like and enjoy yourself. There is always something newer and better around the corner. Instead of wasting 9 months of your life suffering with some other phone and dreaming of having an iPhone you could have been having fun with an iPhone 4.
Then when it was time to upgrade again or you became eligible, you could have gotten whatever phone was newest then. Maybe the iPhone 5 or the iPhone 6, etc.
Just remember when buying any tech, there is ALWAYS something new around the corner. So just get what makes you happy now. And if you can live 6-9 months without something, maybe it wasn't that necessary to begin with.
I don't see why the form factor/external design is SUCH a big deal for people. Why does it need to be changed? It looks fine the way it is! If it has massively upgraded innards and some killer new features (assistant maybe?) then its not a bad upgrade!
None clamors for a completely redesigned Macbook Air, iMac, or Macbook Pro every time an update is released. Its been expected that for those products there are 3-4 generations of speed bumps and incremental upgrades before a redesign (typically several years pass, and the last iMac redesign wasn't substantially different from the last one either), so why should the iPhone be new EVERY time?
*waits for iphone 5 @ the last 20 minutes*
