I really hope Apple doesn't slow-roll us with the iPhone 5 at the end of the keynote. Just give us the goods Apple!

I've downloaded all of Steve's keynotes since the original iPhone from 2007 and have been watching them over again lol. He really was an awesome speaker.
Oh, and for anyone else who is interested and didn't know already, Apple has all the keynotes from the first iPhone on their own Podcast channel.
Yup I really like his charisma.
You should watch the Steve Jobs and Bill Gates interview too. Although the interviewers REALLY sucked.
Oh the AllThingsD one from a while back? That was super boring! I had to stop it.
Yeah. I just watched it to hear Jobs and Gates. They should have really got better interviewers, could have done a lot better IMO.
Considering I disagree with everything u just said, I will for sure save this post, so you have some words to eat come announcement day.
Put me on record as saying there will be a jaw dropping, completely redesigned iPhone 5. No way Apple is going to rest on the laurels of the iPhone 4, give it a spec bump and ride it out for another year. Ur crazy. If the only thing coming was a 4S, I believe we would have had it by now. And if it is true that Apple changed the release cycle to coincide with the fall ipod event, (which makes total sense) they knew full well that the "delay" would stir things up in the smartphone world. Every tech site on the web is anxious, speculating, searching for leaks, drumming up rumors, and talking almost daily about Apple and their next iPhone. Just for that reason alone, Apple would cause a lot of disappointment in the tech community by releasing another iPhone 4. Apple knows this. They may have only changed the release cycle, but it doing so they are also going to reward us BIG TIME for the extended wait. Apple is getting more attention & publicity then ever before because of this "delay". The eyes of the smartphone/tech world are all glued on Apple anxiously awaiting what's coming. And what's coming is not ony a spec bumped 4. Bet the house on it!
It may not be totally redesigned, I agree I am betting it is. It might be a iPhone 5 and have the same form factor with a larger screen and upgraded internals. That would be a iPhone 5. Also I see the glass back going away to make way for aluminum.
And it wouldn't be a "better" device, if it's only 8gb the extra speed is pointless without the storage to match it IMO.
iOS5 has already been introduced earlier. If anything, the "one more thing..." will hopefully be that these new phones are LTE ready - meaning the feature will be active when the networks are ready to roll them out nationwide.
I'm not the least bit enamored with "one more thing".
That era is _over_
And Apple with Cook at the helm is in an exemplary position.
His high level of intellect, reasoning and stellar poise is about to be revealed for all to see. I'm thrilled that he's the future of Apple.
They are lucky to have him. Just wait and see.

Android manafactures do that all the time. Samsung sells at least 10 android models all competing with each other. Plus a 4S and 5 won't necessarily be in competition the 4S will be a low end iPhone for the very basic "doesn't care about specs" user and the 5 will be for the guy that likes the latest and greatest. keep in mind apple have been selling 2 different versions of iPhone the last 2 generations.
I had a similar thought, Tim introduces the iPhone 4S, and no one is all that excited. Then he does the 'and one more thing', at which point Steve comes onto stage holding the iPhone 5.
For those saying 2 models is a bad idea, I disagree. I don't think they'd sell the 4S as a budget model, after all it'll be an upgrade from the 4. I think they might just position it slightly cheaper than the 4 is currently selling for. This will then allow them to price the 5 quite a bit higher than the current 4, maybe $80 - $100 more. Would be a good strategy to rinse every last $.
FYI, I'm swaying towards there only being a 4S and no 5, I hope I'm wrong.

*Developing countries.
Although I think this is true. Why would apple spend on packaging and producing a new, cheaper iPhone and waste valuable resources in the process when they can simply market the current iPhone as the cost-effective version as they've been doing previously.
A slightly revamped version of the iPhone 4 to be released and the economically priced iPhone 4 to follow.
Just my 0.02 .
I want to see Tim say, "The iPhone5 will be out... NOW!!"
The conference hall erupts with violent screams, a mad dash towards the exits. Laptops fly through the air, knocking out the dimmed light fixtures. People are crushed, babies are crying, a kid steals a homeless man's sandwich, all for the glory and honor of getting a hold of the new device.
...time for coffee.... ugh.

There won't be a "one more thing", Steve Jobs wont be doing the presentations anymore, expect something new
