New iPhone 4, iPod Touch, and iPod Nano Models Appear In Apple's Inventory

[confucious]

Ok guys, they've introduced the iPhone4S in their inventory system because it will be available the day of the announcement (Oct. 4th) The iPhone5 hasn't been added to the inventory system yet because it won't be available until mid-October. They can add the iPhone5 to their inventory system anytime after the announcement and no one will care.

Good first post.

Total rubbish but well worth waiting 4 years for.

What can I say? I like to lurk

And you're absolutely right, it is rubbish... It's all speculation until Tim or Steve walks out onto that stage in Cupertino and tells us what we are getting next from apple.

The cell phone accessory kiosk in the mall I work in has iPhone 5 cases already that match the larger display thinner rounded back theory.

And that my friend is why I am scared to death to upgrade in October. An upgraded iPhone 4 16 months later then the 5 shortly after that? I will pass on that "4s" if that's the case. I want a "new" phone. I will see why everyone says apple is money hungry if they pull that stunt.

That's why I learned my lesson lol. I will wait for the bigger better one. If it's not the iPhone 4s.. I will wait...

What is to keep me from just getting the Galaxy S II on Oct 2 and just keeping my existing iPhone 4? Apple is playing catch up at this point. The best thing that Apple has going for it is iOS and the App Store. If the next iPhone has the specs above on Oct 4th..I will use one of my 3 upgrades to get the Galaxy S II and wait for the next iPhone. Blasphemy, I know. However I am a Techie Not a FAN BOY right now Android has the better hardware.

Thanks for the compliments guys - appreciate the feedback. As to join in on the discussion, although Android has the better hardware, I don't think the hardware alone is the reason people stick to the iPhone. From the people I know and from what I have seen (and I haven't conducted any research on this obviously), it's the ease of use, the iOS firmware, and the App Store. Compared to an Android phone, each of the previously mentioned reasons have several benefits over the Android platform.

I have a iPhone 4 and a galaxy s2. The s2 blows away the iPhone in terms of hardware. However after a few days using the samsung I found myself going back to my iPhone. iOS trumps android any day.

I totally agree. That is why I still have my iPhone 4. iOS is the difference. I am running iOS 5 beta 7 and there is so much potential there it blows all current Android OS's out of the water!
