Agreed.

lol ive said this as well time and time again, seems that although these people have brains they tend not to use it, i agree as well .

Can they give it a rest already? iPhone 5? There will not be an iPhone 5! Why? Because the next iPhone will be the sixth generation, and it'd be stupid to call it 5. Now, enter the idiots complaining about the iPhone's name scheme! Well, let me explain.

iPhone - The first one, later called iPhone 2G
iPhone 3G - Because it had 3G capabilities and the G had nothing to do with "Generation".
iPhone 3GS - Because it was an improved iPhone 3G and again, it had nothing to do with a timeline or anything.
iPhone 4 - Because it was the fourth generation, although its model number was 3,1.
iPhone 4S - Because it's a slightly (very slightly) improved iPhone 4.

So, why in the world would Apple call the next iPhone, iPhone 5? It wouldn't be the fifth generation and there's no 5G mobile broadband service, so drop the iPhone 5 nonsense already!

Pretty sure that when it all started they weren't sure what was going to happen and how successful the iPhone would become so naming was not an issue; beside they don't even name new iterations of their other products so it was the last thing on their mind...

I'm pretty positive that going forware its going to be 5, 5s, 6, 6s and so on.

Wonder how far apple is going to take the iPhone before it dies off. iPhone 10,11 and so on. Anyway people thought it was going to go from 4 to 5 not a 4s.
