AT&T Gouge (for what it's worth)
I was talking to AT&T today and they came right out and said that they are expecting the iPhone 5 to come out at the end of this year or early next year.
Basically they asked me if I wanted for them to check to see if I was eligible to upgrade to the iPhone 4S now and I said that I am going to wait until next year. That was when she said, "Oh, you mean when the iPhone 5 comes out?" I questioned whether the iPhone 5 was coming out next year and that was when she said, "actually we are expecting it to come out at the end of this year or early next year."
I know Apple is very secretive about their product releases but it just seemed too "matter-of-fact" to her when we were talking.
Makes me want to think twice about upgrading just yet...

Yeah, I'm sure they'll release another new phone within two and a half months of releasing the 4S. I'm sure the only person who has been informed of this is an AT&T customer service rep.
I'm SO glad my 4S doesn't have a teardrop design. I stood it on its side yesterday to record myself playing guitar...would have been tough to do otherwise. It would also be less comfortable to hold sideways.

This is why I think the new iPhone will look like a "thicker" 4G iPod touch but with a slight curve if you look at the case on its side and a 4" IPS touchscreen display (unless Apple can secure a cheap source for a 4" AMOLED touchscreen). And thanks to new Broadcom or Qualcomm cellphone chipsets, will include 3GPP LTE support.
Since Apple is now sourcing their image sensors from Sony, does it also mean the next iPhone will also source the NFC chip from Sony, which means FeliCa-compatible NFC? That would be HUGE in Asia, since FeliCa is the de facto standard for NFC mobile payments in most of eastern Asia.

The "S" is the "i" of the 2010's which was the "e" of the mid-2000's.
HAHAHAHAHA!

I'm not saying they are correct... I'm upgrading my 3GS to a 4S anyway. I just thought it was weird that they would even bring it up and act so sure of it...
