What's the voltage on the iPad 2? Does the A5 need more juice? Will the increased voltage create more heat? Guess all the "handwarmer" app creaters will like this.
Oh, almost forgot this!
Hm. Could well be the 4S will have the lower-yield chips from the A5 line... chips that couldn't hit high enough clocks to be put in the iPhone 5. Or heck... maybe they're even crippled 1-core ICs (for the same reason... poor yields/one faulty core)
I am just happy to see some pictures not just thoughts about what it could be.
Even if there is an iPhone 4s or iPhone 4 with improvements I will buy it. Everyone will. Then next year I'll buy the next one.

Hmm, I overlayed the outline of the iPhone 4 over this image. Looks like the screen is higher and wider:

Interesting how smaller the bezel is, especially at the top.
That A5 Chip seems to be written by hand.
I do hope I'm wrong, but look closely.![]()
"Stupidly upgraded"? Question, did you buy both the 3G and the 3GS?
The vast majority of people around the world that rely on carrier subsidies (let alone the ones that actually pay directly) are on a 2 year or more upgrade cycle. Why would they bring out a completely new case design every year?
Also: Really? A new case design is the one thing that can push you into an early upgrade? Funny, I used to think the naysayers were wrong about Apple fanboys only being in it for the looks & social status.
a LiPo battery with 4.2V?... ehm... I don't think so!
I just laid down what I heard. I am not saying my information is completely accurate. What he mentioned was. The battery capacity will be increased by 10mAh. So that is not such a big change.. that might be why we coudnt' tell the difference in batteries fromt he leaked pictures of N94.
What I wrote down is just a list of major changes, not ALL changes. but no bigger screen for sure.
This.The 3GS was better in literally EVERY WAY, and it needed to be.

If the 4S is all we're getting, we are getting an upgraded processor and a better camera. The problem is that at this point, neither of those things matter anymore.
E = U*Q, so the Energy of the fully charged battery is the product of voltage and charge. So, if the voltage really is higher, then the battery is bigger.This does not seems he case... higher volts mean lower amps.
This.
The 3GS made sense because the 3G was slow and had a pretty bad camera that couldn't take videos.
Apple didn't feel the urge to offer something completely new as the competition was still struggling to compete the iPhone at that time.
It's not the case anymore. Android phones sell more. Apple needs to do something other than upgrading to a dual-core processor and 8MP/1080p camera. Good Android phones already have those.
The 3GS also came a year after the 3G, not a year and a half. If this is the new cycle, would that mean we are keeping the iPhone 4 design for 3 years? Otherwise, 2.5 years is still pretty long when competitors come up with new phones every month.
Since Apple has a slow release cycle, they can't release something "as good" as the current competition. They have to blow it out of the water and make them struggle to offer something as good until the sixth iPhone comes out.
If a "iPhone 4S" is all we get, they may have lost the smartphone war. But I doubt it. Apple rarely disappoints.
As others have pointed out, what makes hard to believe an iPhone 4S + iPhone 5 announcement is that the A5 in the iPhone 4S would make it more expensive to produce. If the goal was to make a cheaper iPhone to target a different market, wouldn't they want to use cheaper parts? The A4 is still plenty fast enough, and they could even cut costs by using the iPod touch 4's non-IPS panel and lower-resolution camera. That would make more sense if they want to offer a cheap phone.
E = U*Q, so the Energy of the fully charged battery is the product of voltage and charge. So, if the voltage really is higher, then the battery is bigger.
(Old Battery: 3.7V * 1420mAh = 5.254Wh; New Battery: 4.2V * 1430mAh = 6.006Wh)
They just need to make the screen bigger. That is my ONLY gripe about the iphone. Running on 4 years with the same screen is getting a little old now.

Anyone see these yet?

LiPo batteries are 3.7 nominal and 4.2 fully charged. I'm guessing the battery pictured is just listing the max charge voltage for some reason.

I have absolutely no idea why people use the 3G
The 3G was the AIDS of iPhones.
If Hitler was alive, and I was his captor and he wanted to make a phone call, I wouldn't even allow HIM to use that piece of garbage.
That is why a 4S is a horrible idea. It offers absolutely nothing to people using the iPhone 4 (who at this point are DEFINITELY available for an EARLY UPGRADE at least, and a lot are, like me, available for a FULL UPGRADE)
It IS stupid for Apple to do a 4S. If they do, like me, thousands of customers will tell Apple to smoke them and Apple will lose out on millions of dollars in revenue.
If that were the case, then then the mAh rating staying constant would indicate longer battery life. However, the required current doesn't really change with voltage, which is why undervolting reaps benefits on chips. Lower voltage with same current = lower power.
