You could try uploading them to something like imageshack and then posting the links.
A few things I was thinking about...
Steve Jobs, along with everybody else at Apple, is a huge minimalist. I guarantee you his 3 favorite products are the iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Air. Now consider the design of the original iPad. The edges were not curved at all and were sharp, much like the iPhone 4. With the update, it is now "lighter, thinner, and faster." Also, the design is now curved around the edges.
Consider an iPhone 4S. That just doesn't fit. Not lighter, not thinner, just faster. And look at the iPod touch line, all curved edges. I think every Apple fan knows how much Apple likes uniformity, so why would that not apply here?
As with the MacBook Air, I think Apple will basically combine the designs of their other 2 favorite products and use them in the iPhone 5. Curved edges (iPad 2) and
slight tear drop (MacBook Air). It is also important to remember a
slight tear drop shape because if held in landscape, a slight change will not affect the holding of the phone.
As for there being an iPhone 5 and 4S, all we have is speculation. However, lets use last year's iPod event as an example. At the time, FaceTime was the big thing that Apple wanted to get in the hands of as many consumers as possible. So instead of making the 3rd generation iPod touch the low end model, like they did with the 2nd generation to 3rd generation update, they decided to upgrade every model, even the low end model. This is because they wanted cameras on it to get FaceTime to so many people.
Now if the "Wow factor" this year is the new Assistant in iOS 5 which requires an A5 and 1GB RAM, then why would Apple not do the same thing and upgrade the bottom line iPhone as well? Then this would make for a lower end iPhone 4S which is not limited with what features it can use in iOS 5. (Then all you people who are so in love with the current, flawed, and fragile design can just buy one of those. But lets face it, you will do the same thing that happened last year and fall in love with whatever Apple comes out with, no questions asked.) If Assistant is the "Wow factor" like FaceTime was last year, then they will want to get it to as many people as possible. So they will have to upgrade even the low end model to allow it to support everything like they did last year with the iPod touch.
However, Assistant may not be the wow factor. If it is not, what is?
I think it has more to do with the lack of traditional signals in the supply chain. Normally you can tell a product is coming because of the part orders in the chain and either Apple has secured this product beyond what would normally be possible or it doesn't exist.
There will either be a huge reveal in supply chain security or a massive unwhelming in the marketplace. Either way I expect Cook to take advantage of it.
I think they did tighten security. They learned a HUGE lesson in what happened a year and a half ago. Any company who makes a mistake like that will surely learn its lesson. Also why we have barely any info on what happened at a bar this time 'round
