    According to The Next Web’s “sources familiar with the situation,” the iPhone announced today will be a iPhone 4S – not an all-new iPhone 5. The sources say that the 4S will include an upgraded 8-megapixel camera and “more definitive GPS features.” In addition to this, the sources say the device “is much more powerful than an iPhone 4″ and that it “feels like [a] high-end device.” They say not to expect a teardrop design as this was just a prototype for the future iPhone 5 “which won’t be available any time soon.”

    These are the last-minute reports that give you an idea of what to expect, so head over to our meta-liveblog at showtime to see if they prove to be true!

      Who gives a flip about voice control? Are people too lazy to move their fingers?

      The iPhone has had voice control since 3.0 firmware and the couple of times I tried it, it was shit.

      The only reason the stock would go down is the fact it Outperforms since ages. People that invested in Apple let's say a year or two ago would have gotten € 3,00 return for each single dollar invested, quite impressive in this highly volatile period these days. Anywhoo ... waiting for the iPhone 5.

      There have been rumors for months that a budget version of the 4 called the 4S would be launched in emerging markets at the same time as the iPhone 5, to give a cost competitive alternative, yet now the 4S launches in primary markets with not a sight of the iPhone 5. It seems to me based on previous marketing blurb from Apple themselves, the two phones were to be launched simultaneously yet there is no sign of the iPhone 5 in sight and now the iPhone 4S is being touted as an 'upgrade'. Something tells me that someone dropped the ball......

      It dropped one half of 1% that day. 0.52%. Hardly plummeting.

      No, no it isn't. They're still going to sell more phones than any other model on the market. You know it. I know it.

      Android had it in like 2.2

      I can see the feature being used. Obviously not in the context as the feature keynotes video:

      So you're saying the iPhone was shit before any Android device

      Also, I had a Symbian phone with voice control before Apple ever implemented, and it worked nicely enough. So now that we acknowledge it isn't some brand new novelty we can also mention the following, iPhone started its release cycle sometime in mid 07, Android 1.0 came out in September 08. So basically following a year with the novelty act isn't really noteworthy. Try on perspective before attempting to make a point.

      To be fair nails it depends on which study you read, they all vary. While 50% of phones MAY have Android on it, think of how many companies manufacture them; Samsung, HTC, Motorola, LG, Sony etc. iOS is propriety hence why only Apple manufacture iPhones.

      That's probably about right but it takes about 75 different phones to make up that 50%, The iPhone will without a doubt, sell more (far more) handsets than other single phone on the market. It was in response to 'ulun64's' comment that the iPhone was "running out of steam".

      Just AT&T alone sold 200,000 in just the first 12 hours. And that's on a provider that has loads of iPhones already. My guess is that Sprint doubled that. Gotta add Verizon's sales after that.
