Until then, who will buy an iPhone 4S?
My aunt
There’s one born every minute.
Aunts are not born. They are the outcome of lineage.
Plenty of people. I have someone waiting to buy mine which is an Apple Factory unlocked in white, with 6 months warranty on it left. No contract to worry about either.
As soon as the “5” is released, the 4S slides down to take the place of the 3GS. Why, indeed?
Seems like everyone and their grandparents has a source nowadays. Maybe I shld get one myself.
And pls correct me if I’m wrong, but I can’t remember a time before Steve’s passing where there’s been so much “confirmed” info about an Apple product launch.
As long as you continue to WANT to see a difference, you will. In reality, there isn’t much of a difference between this and other launches.
I can’t wait. I skipped the 4S because I was still under contract with my 4.
Yep me too, but my iPhone 4 has been great, Would love to have Siri though.
meh. Siri is o-k. I use dragon-go more often for web searches tho…
I just spoke with my source as well…. yep…. week of 09/12 is confirmed… I actually knew this last year, but I was forced to hold back
I’m just wondering if iPhone will ever come to T-Mobile in the USA.
The twelfth is my birthday so I really hope I get a cake shaped just like an iPhone 4s.
Should grind those shit Android device sales to a big zero.
Must buy it no matter how it looks like as Apple is the best !!
I will only believe it when Apple announces it themselves.
I’ve heard the rumour that Apple will be making just 52% profit on these new iPhones.
It has been confirmed. A reliable source has told me that on Apple’s September 12 event they will be announcing a completely new iDevice for release sometime later to make it easier to invent new Olympic sports, such as men’s synchronized jumping. The device is said to be called iTrampoline. Samsung is planning to announce on September 10 its own Galaxy Tab Bounce Up.
Does this mean iOS 6 will be available on 9/12 also?
