iPhone 4S ("N94") to Come in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB Sizes?

He didn't say it was an Apple-orchestrated distraction. Case manufacturers, in responding to rumors and leaks of dubious authenticity, may have caused a distraction.
And I think that when he refers to '4S', he's not saying he's certain that will be an official name, or that it will mark any less of a feature improvement than you could have reasonably hoped for. Just that it's shorthand for distinguishing a phone with the iPhone 4's design from one with an updated design. The distinction is cosmetic.
For my money, I'm happy to stick with the iPhone 4's design. It still looks pretty classy and modern to me.
64GB would almost be enough for me to want to upgrade my iPhone 4, but I'll probably just wait for the next one. I could sure use the extra space for music. Come to think of it, Apple upgraded the space on the 3GS to 32GB, so it is about time they upgrade it again.
Actually, "Thousands of shattered glass backs and returns..." would attest to the fact that the iPhone 4 design is incredibly *solid*. They've sold, what 30+million of the things at this point?
Let's assume his 'thousands' = 30,000 (an absurdly high number to refer to as 'thousands').
That would mean that they've had a breakage/return rate of 0.1%. That's freaking *amazing*.
IOW: Yet another person who bought into the nega-hype and didn't bother looking into things on own assumes that *someone* having a bad experience means *everyone* has a bad experience. (Or simply a troll.)
It's simply not possible Arn, and if you believe that you are huge fool.
Do I really have to go dig up your rumblings pre-iPad 2 launch? Some thing to the effect of, "despite recent case designs and leaks, it is not expected that Apple will release a redesigned iPad 2, as supply chain checks do not indicate this."
Lol nice post. He's clearly within your description. And why store 600 gigs at 320? 320 is worthless. Either go 256 AAC (better than 320 mp3), or go up to lossless. 320 is a space waster and lower quality compression than 256 AAC.
Not to mention that nobody really cares.
It always meant nothing
The pictures are not the source. They are only there for illustration.
Good point
Again, the pics are just illustration.
You guys really need to stop smoking whatever it is your smoking and stop with the whole numerology crap. If Apple can find a way to make the A5 cheaply enough, they will put it in whatever they can. 4S, 5, ATV, doesn't matter what it's name is on the outside because 99% of consumers won't know what's on the inside anyway. Product manufacturing decisions aren't made based on the marketing, the marketing is based on the final product.
You are right bro! It will be called the Iphone 5.

if the Iphone 5 is going to be able to record 1080p video and 8 mp still shots...then you will need more space...64Gb will be perfect depending on what the price is going to be.
What has me confused, if indeed this is *just* an internal upgrade à la 3GS is this delay to October for the announcement. Surely with all the time they spent analysing the iPhone 4 antenna + getting the white iPhone out there, they shouldn't have that many problems with the casings any more.
And yes, I know that since they haven't announced anything, there is technically no delay but they changed it from June to October for a reason. If the reason was merely that they want the Fall event to be iPhone related in the future rather than iPod, they could have done that last year (especially since they then were actually having problems with white iPhone), not for Tim Cook's first CEO-presentation with a phone that looks identical to last year's model. Also, the fall event has been in the beginning of September anyway, which doesn't account for the additional "delay".
There is just so much going on that I think that many people would be disappointed if they spent all this time putting newer components in there. (Note that I'm not saying such a phone wouldn't be dramatically better than the iPhone 4, merely that the public perception would see it as a non-event, especially with all the leaked cases. And Apple cares about public perception. The hype is there for a reason.)

At this point I don't care what the next iPhone looks like - it could be a identical to the 4 or a complete redesign, all I want is 64GB!!!!!!!
I had to pull my music collection off my phone earlier this year because it + apps exceeded my allocated amount on my 32 3GS. I don't like carrying my iPhone and iPod around at the same time.

Easily the best post in this entire thread.
Anyways, Apple has really gone above and beyond to make sure we don't have a clue about what is going on.
Hi All,
I believe '4' in apple 'Lets talk , Iphone' not only indicate date but also new Iphone 4 model. It is so bold..its my guess..sorry for off topic reply

20,000 iPhone covered by that company. What they didn't say was the total phones they covered in totality. To date they've sold 16.2 million iPhones. I realize that the company making that statement in your links doesn't cover all of these. But hypothetically, we're talking about around .001%. Not really a big deal.
In comparison to a other non iPhones, that are Smartphones, I'm sure the percentage isn't as high, but they still have breaks...
I've owned 2 different iPhones; 3G, and now the 4. I don't baby them, but both were/are in great shape. No scratches, or cracks, etc.
I'm excited either way, because regardless of what Apple comes out with, I'm getting a sweet 4-4.3" phone next month. I'd prefer it be an iPhone, but that's up to Apple.
These case designs appear to be real, and if they're reaching AT&T stores, they would indicate that someone is expecting a new design for the imminent iPhone model. It's possible that Apple have leaked that design to throw everyone off the true scent, but on balance this is incredibly unlikely. More likely is that they actually do represent the new iPhone form factor, or that case manufacturers have been so taken in by someone's unfounded notion of the new iPhone design that they have spent a great deal of money tooling up production runs for a non-existent product. I find that latter possibility highly unlikely too.
Isn't is possible that the new model is being suggested to look like the current iPhone 4 simply because that's how Apple have disguised pre-production units, while the production model will actually fit the new case designs. That seems the most likely explanation to me that accounts for the confused and conflicting rumors.
A phone doesnt need blu-ray it has cloud and ****
Edit: oh, didnt know this site censor words... God bless America I guess
Hear Hear! And anyways, come back when you've legally bought 600GB worth of mp3s/aac's and I might be impressed.
Anyhow, I am definitely for a 64 GB+ iPhone, and I'd be a little bit surprised if we don't see it with this release.
I don't think it's that unlikely. Companies pre-produce all the time, and occasionally on bad / incomplete information. The classic example is that they print up all kinds of Super Bowl paraphernalia showing both teams as winners. The second the game's over, they put the stuff identifying the real winner on sale and ship the stuff identifying the wrong winner off to needy areas.

That's a distinct possibility. But, again, I love the iPhone 4's look, so I'm pulling for that.
I hate curved-back stuff that defies easy use on a flat surface.
And a G5 processor!

The most important thing I'm looking at for my next iPhone is the storage space. When the iPhone 4 came out, I didn't feel too left out by having an iPhone 3GS. Yes, there are some nice additions to the iPhone 4, but not enough to make me feel that I was really missing out.
Currently, I'm nearly out of storage space on the 32 GB iPhone 3GS and need to be more selective about what I keep and what I remove. Initially, most of the apps were quite small, but a lot of games that are being released are coming in at several hundred megabytes, which is quickly eating away at the available space. Hopefully 64 GB will be enough for the next several years. Considering most of my space is dedicated to music, 64 GB should be good, since most of my music collection is already on my phone and is not likely to increase dramatically in the next several years.
Obviously any of you guys commenting on this dont know squat! Im a DJ and i have over 2TB of music. None of which is pirated and barely any from Itunes. DJ's belong to music pools that offer us music with a subscription. And that only accounts for maybe 250gb of my library. I have hundreds of CD's and records that i have transfers to my mac. And as far as using 320kbs thats the standard used. So before you guys go calling someone out to be a pirate know that there are plenty of people that have libraries that large that are totally legit and legal.
