If Apple launches a true new phone (not just an upgraded 4) then it will have been the best job at keeping a company secret, that they have had in a while. I just haven't seen anything reported that is leaning towards a re-designed phone. I hope I am wrong though cause I am out of contract and would really like something new.

I think there will be just upgraded iphione4 because there has been many reports but there were no information about re-designed Iphone but I still want to have entirely new Iphone.

So question Ryan. I see it says manual update press F5, but there will not be an auto refresh on the liveblog?

FYI, there's no contract on the Fire, Amazon's new tablet... you must be thinking of another product.

People who mainly want a music/game player and something that fits in their pocket.
Kinder Fire comes with one storage size: 8 GB and is huge in every dimension compared to an iPod Touch.
iPod touch goes to 64 GB and fits in any pocket easily.

Well shit, the 4S has everything I could imagine being in the 5... Except the new design. It seems almost unlikely now that we MIGHT not see the 5..

We've gotten proof of it in the Case-Mate deal.. But nothing solid on any sites like the "N94" we all saw on Inventory Lists..

Ok so is the Siri specific to the 4S or will it function the same on the 4?

If a 5 is announced Steve Jobs will do it at the very end I bet.

Ever tried telling your BMW to present the map facing north? You have to use that 'stupid' voice, the faux calm voice.....like how you'd talk to the cops if you're high.
