So many people were boldly claiming with sheer confidence that the 4S was going to be discontinued. I felt that it wouldn't because they probably have so many 4S in stock, so it would be cheaper for them to offer it as the lowest model, free iPhone.
I can't believe some people thought the 5C would be offered as free. Why would they unveil a new iPhone (even though it's last years model) and make it free? That would be like them making the iPhone 5 free, which some predicted as well.
It makes the most sense that the 4S is still for sale, and free with only 8gb option available. The 5 is being discontinued because they are using the 5 guts and casing them in polycarbonate (cheaper to manufacture). Take an old product and make it seem new. It was very cost effective for them.
The 30 pin, 3.5" iPhone lives on for another year!
