Official: iPhone Event on October 4th, Apple Confirms
Sep 27, 2011 - 6 Comments
Apple has confirmed the expected October 4th iPhone media event by sending out invites to a small group of press. The image above, sent to AllThingsD, ThisIsMyNext, SlashGear, and LoopInsight shows the invite to a 10:00AM PST event on their Cupertino campus, which only says “Let’s talk iPhone.”
There is increasing evidence that the release date of iPhone 5 will be a week after the event on Friday, October 14th, despite nobody knowing what the iPhone 5 will look like, or whether Apple will only release an “iPhone 4S” hardware update. Stay tuned.
[…] Direct references to an iPhone 4S in name with corresponding images have been revealed in the newest iTunes beta, all but guaranteeing the next iPhones name. This also strongly suggests that a redesigned iPhone 5 will not launch at the October 4th Apple event. […]
Let’s read too much into the graphics — the badge on the lower right icon CONFIRMS only one new model of phone will be announced/released…
It’s funny because I-280 never goes directly East-West.
Jonathan, they couldn’t get away with it. No iPhone 5 would be 2nd bit of bad news after Jobs leaving. Stock would tank.
Prepare for disappointment everyone, it’s going to be a boring old iPhone 4 update. It’s the iPhone 4GS, 100% guaranteed. Everyone will lap it up anyway though, and then next year Apple will throw out a new cool looking phone and everyone will be forced to upgrade at full price and pay fees to the carriers for screwing with their contracts.
Planned obsolescence at it’s best.
Finally, now they need to release the damn thing so that everyone can stop hearing about it!
