You'll be waiting awhile since iPad 2S is next up. Apple proclaimed parity in naming conventions for iOS devices. Laptops are soon to follow.

What idiot came up with these news. Steve Jobs wasn't involved in the 4S? Really?
So he wasn't involved in Siri? A project supposed to have one of the largest software teams at Apple, at least according to the last article here? Yeah, I really believe that.
Where do I apply for a job writing this junk?

No, actually is"
"I bet my house that the next IPhone is going to be the IPhone 5 not the IPhone 4s=....OK, you know"
If the second generation was called the 3G and the fifth generation is called the 4S, what makes people think for certain the sixth generation will be called the 6?

I believe this. There's not a big pattern to go off but they do seem to be going on a redesign after 2 years gig. The larger screen worries me. Right now they can say they have the clearest screen on any phone. With a less dense, but larger screen, what's the line? "We have a 4 inch screen, like the other guys". I believe Apple should keep the screen 3.5" until they can make it large and at least the same dpi AND make it work with all existing apps. I think that means 1920x1280 resolution on a 4.something inch screen.

They better hurry because in a few weeks I and many others will have moved to Android. Nexus Prime being the sweet entry point.
Thought exercise for everyone who is just incrementing specs (sort of like how Android OEMs make their phones), increasing the RAM should be a blanket good, right? I mean, it should be just a cost issue of how much RAM costs, right? Did you know that RAM requires power to keep information in it? It isn't like a hard drive or flash that don't require power to retain information. The more RAM, the more power drain, the less battery life.
There are trade offs for everything and the one thing that Apple seems to be very mindful of is battery life. When Apple isn't crowing about how easy their device is they are talking about the battery life. Now, I'm not saying they won't upgrade the RAM, just putting it out there that a RAM upgrade may not be in the cards because larger number ≠ better.

Upgrading from iPhone 4 to iPhone 4S isn't really a huge upgrade. :| Only thing about the 4S is that it has Siri and a much better camera. If you want a better camera, then upgrade.

Because the one iPhone that had one number after it went by the generation? The sixth generation iPhone will be the iPhone 6.

true that.. i did and regretted it.. returned it or trying to anyway.. store wont take it back. gotta do online
THis of course would be a textbook implementation of Marketing theory. First you get your product noticed and talked about (iPhone 1). Then you launch a new, improved and different looking product (iPhone 3G). Then, just as car makers put a new engine into a tired looking design, launch a new version with better internals (iPhone 3GS). Then when the design is really dragging a bit, change the bodyshell and put in some new improved internals too (iPhone 4), and when that design starts looking tired but is still saleable, put a new engine in and call it the S version as in iPhone 4S.
That's the cycle they follow to maximise profits, amortising parts manufacture over two years for products that appear to 'renew' annually. So of course the next two iPhones will have the next, new bodyshape. Probably tapered, larger screen to the edge of the phone, perhaps with liquid metal unibody (which may define the colour scheme).

The problem with a strict interpretation there is looking at the maturity of the market. I'd say the car market is quite a bit more mature than the smart phone market which leads to some problems doing a direct comparison. I wouldn't bet against the next iPhone looking different but I wouldn't bet for it either. You can't make an accurate trend with only two reference points, especially when you're only looking at one (very visible) trait. (And lets remember, we have basically zero reliable data regarding the next iPhone at this point.)

Nice detective work

Maybe it is time to restart the iPhone Pro rumour too
Give us a break, it has been less than a week since the 4S was released.
You mean a day
The 4S came out yesterday.
My point exactly. I am poised to say about these rumours: he who smelt it dealt it.You mean a day
Yeah, they'll definitely release iPhone 5 in the next few weeks. Seriously, nobody cares if you move to Android. Stop pretending you're using it as a thread against Apple. It's not like they're desperate for sales, if you haven't heard. Buy whatever the hell you want. They don't owe you anything. Every record was shattered yesterday, again, so obviously people don't mind the product.
Too soon to talk about the next iPhone. However, the iPad 3......
Unless we get an iPad 2s, or iPad 2 HD.
