Yes, there is hope, it's all speculation, but thats gotta count for something right?
You really can't rule out anything with Apple, and it is quite pointless to conclude anything before Oct 4th afternoon.
My thinking is this though: if Apple had no plans on coming out with a simply gorgeous and astounding looking iPhone 5, they would have crushed the redesign rumors a long time ago, or at least now, to make sure that they don't end up disappointing everyone on Oct 4th. (They did that with WWDC 2011, and with the Sept announcement rumor).

There is no hardcore evidence that there will be an iPhone 4S, but there isn't any for an iPhone 5 either. People just get scared because there was an iPhone 3GS. The point is, there wasn't any real competition until now. Apple knows they gotta kick ass so I'm pretty sure they won't disappoint next Tuesday.
Maybe someone answered this already BUT....
How could they have an upgraded (spec-bumped) iPhone 4 as a world mode, dual cdma/gsm (one device) phone when the antenna bands for the cdma iPhone 4 are positioned differently than on the gsm model?
If I remember correctly, back in Jan when the cdma model was announced on VZW, didn't Tim Cook specifically address the repositioned antenna bands on it, stating that it was necessary to accommodate the cdma technology?
If that's so, then how would a dual mode iPhone 4 be possible, considering the differences in the antenna?

If I say yes will that get you to stop making these redundant threads asking a question that no one can really answer?
If so then yes
Wait, if you realize he's stating the obvious (which is that we don't know), then why did you even create this thread. I mean, I'm not trying to be an ass but...
OP, you did not say what you mean by redesign, and here's where the problem lies. Everyone has a completely different idea of what constitute redesign.
For me, a 4 inch screen +A5= redesign.
To another, 64GB storage = redesign.
To yet another, LTE advance = redesign.
I don't care what you call it, I just want a 4 inch screen.

Lets hope so. My prediction will be instead of people bitching about reception this time around, they'll be freaking out over battery life.
To me, a redesign is the new shell that will be wrapped around a 4" screen. It will be slightly wider and have a nice rounded back. Keeping the same brick design with the shell being wider would feel even worse in the hand than it already does.. thus a redesign.
