The rumors before a new iPhone are always do tiring- Probably because out of all our devices, it's the one that get's handled and used the most. So with that being said, having to wait 15 months for a phone with the same looks that I've been staring at for hours a day is not what I have in mind. Some people will be happy with the iPhone 4 design. With as fast as smartphones evolve, I don't think it's fair to customers or a good idea in general, to continue will the same design format. If Apple pushes out a phone that looks the same- it better WOW me to gain my money. I mean seriously- it'll have to have some X factor that no one else can stack up to. We'll see in 4 days.

The 3G was the iPhone 2. The 3GS was the iPhone 3. Apple fixed the naming scheme by calling it 3GS, that's the whole point. Imagine if after the iPhone 3G, the new iPhone had simply been called iPhone 3. "Where's the G at ? Why would they release a lesser phone ?".
A5
64GB
Better camera
I'm all over it like white on rice.
Same design?No big deal.I'm not so obsessed with making sure everyone knows I have The Latest Thing,or so shallow I can't have the same phone for more than 12 months that I'll FREAK OUT over keeping a good design for two whole years.It still looks great.
64GB

Yeah I don't understand using the cases as a distraction. It only creates room for a lot of disappointment.
I would buy the 64GB model for the below reasons:
1)The video and picture resolution is much higher than my 3GS which means the file sizes will at least double
2)More and more of my songs are 320k instead of 192k
Thus if I were just to buy the 32GB model (versus my 16GB now) I will be at the same level of space free...hence I need to go to 64GB
Macrumors should have a survey asking how many would buy the 64GB model.

Finally! 64GB would be amazing! iTunes match will suck on my commute to work from Jersey to NYC. Tunnels and changing towers makes anything I stream cut out. I need storage on the device, along with millions of other users in my situation.
I was thinking the same thing, also I would assume with the amounts of storage needed these days, Apple will do away with the 8GB model phones and just go to 16, 32, and 64 guessing the pricing will be similar to today
16=$199 or 99
32=$299 or 199
64=$399 or more or less who knows until they announce the phone and the pricing.
I am also sure the carriers will charge differently for the types of Data whether your on 3G Enhanced 7.2 or on LTE.
Will be interesting Tuesday whatever they announce, also interested to see what the updates will be for the MacBook Pro's if any.
64GB should almost be a guarantee because of the increase in camera and video resolution and sophistication of apps and games which requireore space
I don't know why you were voted down. If one does not want 64GB, then don't buy it. But let everyone his own ****ing preferences...
I for one would like the 64GB for a few reasons:
1) 110GB library of music
2) I don't know what I'll end up listening too
3) I plan to NOT have a data plan when current contract expires.
4) Even if I kept dataplan, we all know we won't be able to get music through iCloud in Canada until 2027...
So for me, a 64GB iPhone 4S/5/whatever is a definite upgrade from my trusty 32GB iPhone 3GS.

600? that's all?
I have 110GB of LEGAL music... Call me a sucker, if you want.
That is exactly what I was thinking.
What I don't understand is why wait 1.5 years to slightly upgrade the RAM, CPU and Storage. They could have released this in June on the usual timeline.

Not to mention they would piss of their partners like AT&T who are apparently ordering this "distraction" case.
Yet you stubbornly refuse to acknowledge that the design of the iPhone 4 is so fundamentally flawed (fragile shattering glass build materials, no bezel to protect the glass from direct corner impacts, slippery uncomfortable shape, documented antenna issues) that a case redesign is actually more important than the internals at this point.
You could put a 20 core, A50 processor on the inside and it wouldn't matter if the glass shatters on the phone the first week you own it because there was no effort made to build the phone to take a small drop, or if you can't get a signal because the antenna design is fundamentally flawed.
Your attitude is typical of spec-nerds -- it's all about the numbers on the inside and who has the phone that scores the fastest on benchmarks -- and it ignores the fact that a phone is a piece of real-world technology that must survive and be usable in real-world settings.
The iPhone 4 fails this test. Thousands of shattered glass backs and returns attest to this facts. A non-recommendation from Consumer Reports attests to this fact. The iPhone 4S will fail the same test. But, I'm sure you'll be happy running benchmark tests and marveling at how fast your fragile museum-piece phone is.
I don't get it why people feel they don't need more storage because of iCloud. I mean, that only makes sense if everyone has great 3g coverage and unlimited data plans.. which is not the case even in US.
Not to mention the phone will sell all over the world and no one knows when/if iTunes match will be available elsewhere.

YES! I dropped my freaking iPhone 4 and it BENT! this happened 2 times! now I need to see If apple will give me a new one. I will be really pissed.

iCloud is not a streaming service. It's a place to automatically back up data and sync to all your apple devices. The reasoning behind going to only 8g of storage because of iCloud makes absolutely no sense. You still have to download the songs and store them on your device to listen to them; and then delete them if you want new songs downloaded to your device. The songs still take up storage space ON THE PHONE. iCloud is not spotify or pandora.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the glass on my iPhone 4 didn't shatter in the first week I owned it. Nor did it shatter in the week after. In fact, it didn't even shatter in the many weeks that followed. Might I inquire where your data source is for this fascinating information, good sir *namely this here juicy morsel: "Thousands of shattered glass backs and returns attest to this facts"?
This rumor doesn't make a lot of sense if the new iPhone 4S is supposed to be positioned as a low to mid end phone. Unless they plan on taking the iPhone 5 even further upmarket as an LTE device with a larger screen and a bigger price tag I don't understand why they would offer such an iPhone 4.
The thing is that it doesn't matter if there is an all new iPhone 5 or just an iPhone 4S. Apple knows people will stand in line either way and buy...buy...buy. I wouldn't rule out an iPhone 5 because after last years iPhone 4 leak I would expect security to be top notch this time around, however even if it doesn't come people will still be camping out for an iPhone 4S and Apple can easily get another 9-12 months out of the basic design before introducing a new iPhone. Maybe they are waiting to see what happens with 4G LTE before they introduce something like the iPhone 5. I'm not sure, but we will know Tuesday.

Boasting about your 600GB music collection is funny for a plethora of reasons.
a) Assuming you bought a lot of that music new, you have spent over $50k on music.
b) Assuming you have that much music you may have pirated a bunch of it
c) With that much music, you must have some really terrible stuff
d) With that much music, on shuffle, your only likely to hear a song once every year or two.
e) With that much music, you probably spend more time scrolling through artists, albums and songs looking for something then actually listening to the music.
