Well, a white casing with attached A5 chip and stamped as N94 was shown on this very site not so long ago, and today Apple has entered N94 in it's listings and the label for the iPhone 4S is a go. The only other entry is the N90A, which will be no more than the 8GB model of the existing N90, the iPhone 4.

So if the iPhone 4S is the N97 according to the WSJ, and the iPhone 4 is going to become the N90A, are we going to see an iPhone model in BETWEEN the N90A and N97? No, we're not.

The N94 is, at this time, the iPhone 4S. The proof is in the pictures on this very site.

Oh, and first sentence in your little link? "ONE of it's codenames is N97" ... not THE codename.

Apple has a major os update coming out named ios5 i don't believe apple being quite clean with naming conventions would name the hardware coming out after a previous generation of phone and os?
Apple will want to advertise their 5th generation OS,with a 5th generation phone

I believe even if the phone is an upgrade to the iphone 4. It will be named the iphone 5:apple
:apple:

Sort of like how the iPhone 3G was released with iOS 2, right? :rolleyes:

how are you so positive that any of those leaks are even legitimate. you know as much as anyone else. nothing.

quit trying to make it seem as though you got it all figured out. because you don't.

and as for that iPhone N94 with the A5 chip inside, that was deemed a fake upon further review. Quit accepting any leak as fact. A lot of these 'leaks' are to fuel the flame and keep interest in iPhone high right before launch.

here is the link that deemed it fake. the blog retracted their statements.

http://9to5mac.com/2011/09/19/iphone-4s-is-likely-an-early-prototype/

A lot of iPhone parts circulate in China, FYI. Some are legit, many are fake.
 
Couldn't iPhone 4s just be the *********g name? It still could be a huge bump and new form factor but be called the 4s.

----------

Since apple will probably be releasing new phones every year it is there way of saving numbers. So instead of 6, 7, 8 it will be 5, 5s, 6 and having no bearing on whether it's a huge upgrade or a minor one?

Let me get this straight.

This is a post on MacRumors about a tweet from the guy that runs MacRumors that has a bunch of stories about the iPhone on MacRumors.

Did I get that right ?

Delicious.

:p

He is the owner of Macrumors

He is the person that has provided all of us with a community to discuss in.

I would not take his comments with a grain of salt
 
Isn't that Yuki guy on WSJ the guy that had ties with Apple, whereby they'd tell him information for him to 'leak?'
 
People don't get it that most, if not all of these websites are posting pure speculation with unfounded facts. No one knows what is going to happen except those inside Apple.

So, unless someone goes out to Apple HQ and waterboards the executives for answers, we won't know until Tuesday.

No, they are actually taking small hints and bits of evidence and extrapolating conclusions from there. Not all of it is "pure speculation with unfounded facts". However, I'd say a lot of the conclusions drawn on this forum are in fact pure speculation.

But yeah, we won't know for sure until Tuesday.....or if we have a big leak between now and then.

This is the most refreshing and clear thought in this jungle of opinions we are in right now

Really? Because Apple has no other product that keeps in line w/ it's OS version. There may be an iPhone 5 and iOS 5, but I don't think this is because Apple intends to keep up this pattern.

Because it all makes sense and sounds the most logic to me. Don't know about other products but with the iPhone it's just the right time and moment to bring the two together even it wasn't like this before with earlier OS updates. THis whole 5 thing only makes sense to bring them them out on the same time.

So you just made it up based on how it feels to you, not based on known Apple history?

indeed. thats why his article holds more weight than any other publication, aside from AllThingsD, which is owned by WSJ as well (Walt Mossberg's + Kara).

Winner! :D
 
I think most of us forget that they're just rumors, doesn't mean that they are true
 
4S, 5, N90A, N94, N97. I don't care what code names are out there. There is one little tiny piece of evidence that sticks out more then anything else we've seen or heard. It's that tiny little iPhone icon released in the iOS 5 beta that speaks volumes. That is enough to comfort me into knowing that the next iPhone will be a fully redesigned piece of Apple magic. How can it be ignored? Apple WOULD NEVER release an icon to represent the iPhone that looked drastically different then the iPhone...Unless of course, it wasn't drastically different after all. it's all the PROOF I need. We will see on Tuesday.

You and I are pretty much the only two people who know what's going on.
