How is an advertised case released by the case manufacturer a leak?
Edit: wait, looked at the profile...spammer...never mind
I'll still buy one since I can sell my unlocked/jailbroken iPhone 4 for as much as a new on-contract phone with AT&T will cost.
As far as case redesign, I sometimes feel like I'm the only person that likes the iPhone 4 design.
I think apple's successfully tricked us all. All this 4S hullabaloo the past few months is just Apple toying with our rumor reading minds as payback to the lost iPhone 4 that was found oh so long ago.
- You don't wait 16 months for just a speed bump.
- You don't let your iconic ceo step down and have you're replacement, which everyone in the tech industry will be harshly judging, launch your next, and most anticipated product being only a speed bump.
- You don't release iOS 5 and iTunes 10.5 with a product named 4S.
They also need to redesign it just to shut people up about the antenna. If it has the same form factor everyones just gonna be complaining about their cell reception when the thing comes out regardless if there's a problem or not.
Anyway, I bet those at Apple are just grinning thinking about how well they have kept this thing under wraps, and can't wait to hear Cook say up on stage "one more thing..."
Nah don't worry, my brother said the other day he really likes it too, when I was all uppity about wanting a redesign. It's pretty black & white (NPI), no redesign no sale; and if it weren't for contract for 4 already, quite possibly complete platform shift - they already lost me at Lion, surely Windows Phone deserves checking out too.
I'm not sleeping at all tonight, as I will be discussing iPhone all night.
My GF hates me at this point. Every time I talk, its iPhone... and she gets pissed.
I even said, I would buy her new iPhone 5, fully unlocked, for her, and she still mad at me because I talk about iPhone rumors too much.
WHATEVA B
all the evidence or lack thereof of an iPhone 5 can be explained by: Apple is WAY more cautious about the iPhone 5 than the 4S. They don't care if the 4S is leaked through iTunes, but the iPhone 5 is huge.
as for the idea that the iPhone 5 case designs are based off of prototypes-- they definitely didn't get that deep into a redesign and then ditch it for an "S" model.
and the BIGGEST argument...
They didn't need another 4 MONTHS to squeeze a 8mp camera and an A5 in an iPhone 4 body.
I rest my case. If there's no iPhone 5, I'm sure steve jobs is not happy with Tim Cook (since Tim has been running Day to day for over a year). Apple MUST know they will take a HUGE hit without a redesign. Giving me assistant and a better camera will not make me forget i Don't have a gorgeous, new, and "unique" phone.
