Apple

Ok..I'm so confused..is there no conference this fall? Sites keep talking about "the unveiling" of the phone, but yet no one at all has said it will be at a conference. Is it just going to pop up on the website out of nowhere? There is always the iPod conference around this time and the date is always talked about, but yet I don't see anything on here, Engadget, OSaily, etc about any conference. Can someone fill me in, cause I feel like I missed the memo.

^^^^^i would like to know that to^^^^^plus, the apple UK site still says within 24 hours for 3gs and all version of the iphone 4

What they are doing this year is a Software conference which as we all know already happend, and the ipod conference will become a Hardware conference, which makes sense. That way all new hardware will be announced all at once, iPods, iPhones, and maybe iPad also, which i doubt it. Happening very soon, i also cant fuken wait.

It's so frustrating. The last 4 years straight the fall iPod conference has been the first week of Sept. Well that's come and gone and we don't even have a press conference notification yet.

K I didnt think there was a date yet, which is odd.. Btw, could someone tell me why there are no other comments viewable except my own when I'm logged in? I see nothing on the page but "Click to leave comment, showing 1 comment, leave a comment" and nothing to expand the comment field to see the rest.

I am seeing everything ok on my computer... they are doing upgrades from what I understand... try cleaning out your browser cash and such and then load MMi

Yup, thats Apple. Forget current customers receiving their product in a timely fashion so they can cash in on the next product.

I wouldn't say 3 days is all that long to have to wait. By your logic they would just have to put the iPhone 5 on hold until demand for the iPhone 4 subsided. Then you'd have a whole customer base mad about the delay of the new product. No win situation in your case.

It's certainly possible that Apple wants to make sure that their iPhone 5 stock is strong before announcing anything to the world. What other reason do they have to wait?

Playing devil's advocate here, but there is a whole customer base ALREADY mad at the delay. This is the first your that the iPhone successor has been off of its ~365 day release schedule.

I know this is just semantics, but it happened a few times so maybe I'm missing something.

The article title itself says shipping times are falling, and the third paragraph mentions reduced shipping times. But if phones are taking 3 days to ship instead of the regular one day, aren't shipping times rising/increasing?

As of this writing, all models and colors of the fourth generation handset are seeing decreased shipping times.

It probably should have been worded "Increased" shipping times.

You know, a lot of items on the Apple store have increased their shipping times to 3-5 days. Maybe we are reading into this too much? The iPhone is not the only one (look at their Macs)

Perhaps the fact that iOS5 is still in beta. iPhone 5 hardware can be produced but they can't ship the hardware out until iOS5 goes gold master.

Why are Apple releasing it soo late and not a yearly cycle!!It better be a major upgrade with an OLED screen.

I read somewhere that the iPhone 5 will be made of spun sugar which makes it both extremely fragile and provides integrate water damage detection.
