Whether they call it a 4S or a 5 or even the iPhone Q...what does it matter? The name is just that...a name.
Now as for another thread about what the next iPhone will be called, my reaction is

This is absolutely bs.
Over 1 year in development, and they'll only give us an internal upgrade? Wow, i'll be pretty damn upset with Apple if this is true.
A different designed Android device is coming out every month, and the #1 tech company in the world can't come up with a new case design after more than 1 year? That's would be pathetic.
Two things jumped out at me.
1) CNN does not make the (IMO astute) observation that MR did:
2) It is thoroughly amusing how many people do not actually read the original post before replying. You can tell from all the "zomg who cares what the name is" and "ITLL BE a 5 NOT A 4S!!!" posts.

2 different phones released at the same time seems highly unlikely.

This shows how arrogant Apple is when they can wait 16 months and only put out a warmed up iPhone 4 with a new chip and camera. 'course they're laughing all the way to the bank because everyone will be lining up around the block to get it.
I agree with you: The key word here is pathetic.
I hope they prove me wrong by manning up with (in addition to the chip and camera):
3.8" screen
New, rounded aluminum back
Access to local storage
A new "themes" sections to the App store with iOS5.
That's my thought of it. If Apple show's their arrogance by only giving us a new chip and camera after all this time, then I may be looking elsewhere until they give us a bigger screen. I wanna believe that they are gonna give us something that rival's android's best tho (hardware wise).
If Apple indeed only does a spec bump, I will not buy it or waste an upgrade on that.
The 3G to 3GS was a big upgrade for me because of speed. But just a camera bump and a new chip? Might as well release the exact phone and call it the iPhone 4.5.

Interesting Find
I was looking around for a mini bluetooth keyboard for my PS3 and found this site:

About half way down the page is an interesting picture of a pair of iPhones, note the flash position......
I dont know if its old news or not but I thought I should share.

Nice find. However I'm sure its nothing. It has a sweet look to it tho, even tho it looks like the aspect ratio is way diff.
My opinions:
1. Apple doesn't need a device to compete with ANY Android device. Remember the phones are supposedly called "iPhone Killers" not the other way around. Remember Android is the one catching up to only 4 (Four) hardware updates released in 4 years, opposed to dozens of Android phones released yearly.
2. Apple is a company of tradition and predictability. But it seems this year they have broken their traditions at events by not unveiling a hardware device in WWDC 2011. And just maybe using the September event to unveil the new iPhone/iPods.
Now what do I think will happen? I would like to think that they will release an updated iPhone 4 with a new camera 12MB, A5 chip and HSPA+ antenna.
