Because otherwise they'd probably be announcing it at WWDC like they did previously. I mean, sure, they could call an iPhone event a month later, but it's unlikely.

With the iPhone 4s selling so well I cannot see them bringing out a new phone out so early! They'll hang on as long a possible before replacing it.

I'm all for a slightly bigger screen.

Another diagonal half-inch isn't going to make my pocket complain and is still not even in the ball park of tablet size.

And a radio.

I highly doubt it will be released this summer anymore.

According a friend who works for Apple, Apple have told all staff that they can't take holidays for the last 2 weeks in August, all of September and the first 2 weeks of October. This could indicate an October launch like the 4S. This was also the case for the 6 weeks before the launch of the new ipad.

So a period of 8 weeks that a huge staff force can't take leave because of a product launch!

Can't imagine that, nor can I imagine that it's legal either.

Anyhow, Sep/Oct Launch makes more sense as the 4s is only out 6 months.

It's certainly legal, it's more or less totally up to the employer to specify when leave can be taken. A lot of companies define set periods when everyone must take their leave for instance. As long as people aren't prevented from taking their leave altogether during the year, Apple could define numerous leave blackout periods as they see fit.

I think the iPhone 4 design is nice but yes it is bulky. The iPhone 3GS design is dog ugly though and a step way back in terms of design.
People the world over are bitching about the screen size and I think it will go
4 inches. The screen is too small and 4.3" (galaxy s2) is the sweet spot.
You'll have to adapt because all phone screens are getting bigger. If Apple reduces the bezel hugely, there won't be any problems texting or whatever else.

There will be only two possible release dates, June or October.
August/September is when the macs/iPods get updated.

That's when I stopped taking you serious.

An award winning design (which is same as earlier Iphone) that everyone found beautiful is ugly? Get up the yard.

Screen size is perfect. I find the Galaxy s2 just too big.

Also what is so good looking about that phone?

Clearly you don't get design. The 3GS was nice for its time but it is nowhere near as sleek and premium feeling as the iP4.
The iPhone 4 was a big leap forward and the galaxy s2 is just as nice as the 4 but it's thinner and the bezel is also thinner so I think in some ways it's better.
I'd still take the 4 over it because of its premium build/look.
The screen is too small. Mark my words, it won't stay that small for long. It could go to nearly 4" but the point is, all the competition is going bigger and thinner so eventually the market demand will change on Apple.
Look around on the internet to when the 4S was released, one of the main complaints was screen size didn't get bigger.
I'm sure the next iPhone will have a nicer design than the 4 but if it goes the 3GS route, I'd find it hard to upgrade my iPhone 4.

Getting design or not (what an arrogant thing to say). A good design is a good design and remember it's Apple who innovated these things, not Samsung and it's Apple who are selling a lot more than the competition so why are Samsung right and Apple wrong?

The way you are talking it's as if Apple have no idea bought design and only respond to competition.

Complants about 4s screen size, yes there was but did you see the Apple results during the week? The phone is a huge success. As usual, people complaining make the most noise.

[iggy]

I think it's very simple for me.
I see all the other android etc phones that are out there,
Yes some screens are nice etc but by a million miles the build quality and feel of the iPhone is far superior .
Saying that I feel I new design is needed with a slightly bigger screen and slimmer device but remain the build quality.

The thing I hate about the samsung galaxy s2 is that for a class phone it has a real cheap plastic feel about it. IPhone wins on that department.
