Obviously the housing is not 13.3 inch. Those have 14 inch screen which sits in a housing "designed for a 13.3 inch laptop". So the housing is bigger than 14 inches.
Got a tip for us?

Guess now we know why this wasn't streamed live...
Pretty lackluster news coming out of the Apple camp today. I skipped the 3GS and went for the 4 and I'm glad I did, looks like I'll be skipping the 4S and waiting for the 5. If there's some killer app that runs like crap on my 4 i'll upgrade. Siri, for me, is not that killer app. My main concern is not being eligible for an upgrade when the 5 comes out should I bite on the 4S now.

My mistake, I'll go ahead and edit the first post. I'm usually very careful not to use words like everyone, nobody etc but sometimes things slip.
Tell that to my blind boyfriend.
Yeah Tim is really pissed at Steve for setting him up like that.
yeah, laughing at all the new stuff they have to copy on their next phone.
What, no, they didn't copy anything. they call it the magazine rack and it's black, not brown. And its the Helper, not Voice assistant. And look the icon is red. Not the same as iOS at all
He did that with his letter of resignation. No need to do it on stage like this is the crowning of a new King.
Double when you consider that 90% of the media and the public buys into the whole "wow he looks like ****, he's going to die tomorrow" because they don't get that you don't get over a liver transplant or pancreatic cancer. you will look like **** for the rest of your life even if it is decades longer because the hormone issues prevent you from building major amounts of muscle mass.
There's no such things as an unlocked CDMA phone. THe tech isn't written that way. Which is why you can't get a phone on Verizon, and then jump ship to Sprint etc.
But nothing in that line says that you couldn't buy a no contract CDMA plan and then put in a SIM card for GSM service either because you are overseas where there is no CDMA or you left Verizon cause they suck. Only that if you want to use CDMA you need to buy it that way from the beginning.
What's tastier - an Apple or Mango?
Definitely Mango. Haha. iOS is starting to look dated.
There is also a difference between careful, rational, incremental upgrading of proven design, while expanding upon economies of scale versus trying to satisfy a bullet point list. If AAPL did the later, we'd be whining about the 2 hour battery lives in our iOS flash-compatible devices. The 4s is "evolutionary", not "revolutionary", and I've no problem with that.
I also would be willing to wager your BBC fellow rather ends up with egg on his face when we see the various ways Siri in implemented. Siri is NOT Google voice.
But yes, I know, no tapered case, no 3.7 inch screen, the horror...
http://www.apple.com/uk/iphone/specs.html has the following info:
"802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi (802.11n 2.4GHz only)"
Comments like that fall apart when you note that he publicly asked to be Chairman of the Board. So he's still there, he's still listening to the whining as much as before.
Oh and reality check, you (like the rest of us) have been dying from the moment your mama pushed you out of her crotch. It's the one universal fact of life. Otherwise, it's anything goes. Steve and his rotten pancreas and replaced liver could go on another 30 years, meanwhile tomorrow you're going to be hit by a bus.
It makes no sense to release a newly designed phone when many people will still be on their 2 year contract from buying the iPhone 4. June 2012 will see a redesigned iPhone.
That may be true, but it does seem very similar to what vlingo have been doing for a while. It's probably true that there will be more polish on siri, but it's not really that revolutionary IMO
Being a 3Gs owner, I chose to proudly stick with my 3Gs when the iPhone 4 was announced - it wasn't revolutionary, it was evolutionary. Was I disappointed in the iPhone 4 announcement? Not a bit.
Not sure why everyone expects a revolutionary change from one generation to the next. You typically have to wait 2 or 3 generations to get a revolutionary change; while it's only an evolutionary change from one design iteration to the next.
I guess this means everyone complaining about the iPhone 4s were hoping for a form factor change. YAWN! ...Makes me wonder if these people are G5 tower owners complaining about computer performance while waiting for a new case design before they upgrade to an intel Mac Pro. I mean. What's the point in upgrading if the case design doesn't change?
APPL down 12 points... Good day to own Puts
Also, I'd like to send out a big FACEPALM to all who belittled and insulted users for correctly guessing it would be an iPhone 4S.

That is all.
Google down 12 points as well. Weird, one would assume a bad thing for iPhone would mean good things for Android.
Wait a sec!
Jesus christ, what you have wrote there is just fanboy nonsense and has no backing in reality. "Take a year to catch up", there are android phones out there that are more powerful than this, and just wait for the nexus prime, absolutely slaughters the 4s, simple as that.
This sounds ridiculous. Why wouldn't you just be able to call Sprint and say "I want to active my unlocked iPhone; here's my ESN" and have them do it? I have a really hard time believing this isn't technically possible; afterall Sprint phones roam on Verizon all the time.
Ha! to all the people who were adamant there would be an iPhone 5. Its not the right cycle year, next year will be iPhone 5. And I bet people who say they aren't going to get the 4S either get something else and come back, or just get it anyway.
That's the point exactly, the housing is capable of holding a bigger screen by making the bezel smaller.
And that's what I said in my original post. Without making the device bigger, there's only a little wiggle room to increase the screen, which won't actually make a dramatic difference in the usage. People asking for 4.7" screens isn't possible keeping the size of iPhone.
who knows really. That's on ATT.
But a lot of it depends on how much money you are paying. they are more likely to go with a 18-20 month to full upgrade on folks that are paying higher plans to try to get you into another contract because you make them more money.
That said, it's only another 6 months, can you really not wait that long.
Apple updates their website showing the 4S. Verizon puts the iPhone 4 back on their front page saying it's finally available in white trying to sell people the old ones. Lame.
