I really hope you're lying. My phone I have currently is about to take a shit on me (4 years old), and I've been holding out for this new iPhone (4s).

By scrap, I'm assuming just bump the date back? Seriously, my phone is about to take a shit on me.

It seems like Tim Cook wants to take the company in another direction. Or at least start over fresh with the iphone. I believe it is being scrapped completely and they are starting over from scratch. I've heard mid 2012 at the earliest.

Link? If it's on the radio, it has to be on the intertoobs.

I heard essentially the same thing. Tim Cook really feels the future is in stylus devices so I would guess they're going to modify the iPhone to be optimized for it.

Rumor has it, Tim Cook believes that flip phones are going to make a comeback, and essentially he wants to go w/ the flip phone iPhone.

I actually just listened to a PodCast where Tim Cook said that he thinks holograph phones are the wave of the future.

Here is a fan made prototype of what the iphone might look like based on leaked cases and rumors.

Looks fantastic, hopefully this is close to the real thing.

4G is overrated. I hardly use it, it drains my battery like a motherfucker, and I have to pay $10/mo extra for it.

You know you don't pay $10 extra for 4g right? You pay $10 extra for any sprint smartphone

When I signed up I'm pretty sure they called it a 4G surcharge.
