Of apertures, noises and ISOs

However, larger aperture means more noises.

The statement is incorrect.

Larger aperture (2.2 represents larger aperture than 2.4) means more light will be able to reach the photosensor which means that lower ISO will be needed in any given light situation which in turn means reduction in noise.

Also, did they hire GWBush to write this? Will the new iphone have more internets, too.
 
Please no, the iPhone 4S is the right thickness to feel comfortable. Any thinner and it'll just be uncomfortable like the iPod Touch....

If you add a case it makes it thicker. I like the iPhone 4S naked thickness, but when you add a case it makes it THICK. So if the next iPhone is slimmer and you add a case it will should feel like a naked 4S. I hope they didn't sacrifice the battery life to make it thinner.
 
I suppose it's technically thinner, but 1.4mm is hardly discernable. The other key spec that is missing is weight.
 
The next iPhone will be known as the iPhone 5, regardless of what apple chooses to call it. Just like everyone calls the new iPad "iPad 3"

As I work in a popular US retail store selling the iPad 2 and the new iPad-the first month many asked for the iPad 3, after that peroid of time 9 of 10 customers (because of advertisement,media etc...) they now pacifically ask for the new iPad. This will most likely be the same when the new iphone comes out

Well I atlanticly hope the newest iPhone is not too much thinner. I'd rather keep it the same thickness but add battery or other stuff.
 
I'll be excited when they include stereo cameras, or better yet cameras w/ stereo lasers for 3d mapping scan data to crowd source their maps database & open it up with an API for revolutionary improvements in remote project collaboration.

Do something awesome again, apple.

The Verizon iPhone was noticeably different inside. Not only have a different radio but also a different vibration actuator and few other minor differences. Thus, one could argue for the sake of arguing that:
1. iPhone
2. iPhone 3g
3. iPhone 3gs
4. iPhone 4
5. iPhone 4 Verizon
6. iPhone 4s
7. iPhone ?
 
Thinner, meh, doesn't really matter to me either way (although I don't mind thinner if it doesn't sacrifice anything important), but I'm 100% down with a better camera. Not that the 4s camera is bad, but having a better camera on a portable device like that is only a win.
 
Don't care what it's called or will be called. I just want a new iPhone now as I've grown bored with my iPhone 4 now. Hurry up Apple!
 
Apple is like a supermodel: No matter how thin they are, they always think they're too fat.
 
No kidding, I read 2.2 and thought awesome! Larger opening, more light, less noise.

No the opening stays the same, but the focal length decreases from 6 mm to 5.5mm

aperture ratio of (1/2.2)/(1/2.4) = focal length ratio of 6/5.5
 
I hope thin doesn't mean the phone will become more flexible. One nice thing about the size and materials used in the iPhone is the overall rigidity of the device. Having a phone screen crack simply because the case flexes in a pocket during a normal work day is never a fun thing.

I know the iPhone is fragile in other ways, but it doesn't twist or creak as much as some other smart phones on the market.
 
Back to the boring rumors about the itoys. I got an iPhone 4S and an iPad3 but I just get bored buy iOS news.

Was a fun run for some real mac news for a change.
 
Anyone want to admit that FaceTime is overrated ?

What happened to making it open like Steve jobs promised during his keynote?

That was his dying wish I believe

Honestly FaceTime makes us all look fat.

I'm not fat for the record

None of this actually matters. The numbering scheme has no effect on the quality of the device. They'll call it whatever they'll call it. Point is, it's a new iPhone.
