Should I get an iPhone 4?

[GommeInc]

iPhone 5 may not be released until the end of 2011.

Apple released he event details for the event they normally release the iHpone at, but did not mention a new iPhone at all. They just said "all about the future of iOs. and something (can't remember what, might have been mac OSX)

I heard that somewhere too. Why Apple are wasting x amount of money telling people about the future of iOS is beyond me, would it really be that interesting to sit for about 5 minutes to hear what they plan to do? I doubt they could stretch the talks out to about an hour, unless they chuck in a bit of moaning about the competition.

Most tech-blogs are saying at the same time as the iPod Touch, aka September is isn't that much later than the iPhone is normally released anyway.

They are also having over 100 talks from some of their people about stuff (can't remember what )

I read off engadget, who said this 'fall' and 'holiday season' - which in terms of sales would do wonders for Apple.

i have a feeling they will come out with it as a surprise at the event?

Yea, I was thinking that this could be a possibility. If they are showing the future of iOS, maybe they will be demonstrating this future on the new iPhone? However, they could still announce it at this event but then not launch it until later than usual.

Would be very un-Apple like to not try and maximise the attention?

I mean, unless you are a tech geek (like me..) why would you even pay attention to such a dull event? On the other hand, if they said 'NEW iPHONE OMG OMG' - every is interested.

My advice; No. I had one I actually queued outside the apple store the morning they were released and had nothing but trouble from it. First of all the signal going I had to buy a bumper for it (my friends who still have one still have this problem); The proximity sensor is... Well it puts people on hold and mutes the call whilst talking. The battery life i just as bad as the previous iPhones, imho wait for the iPhone 5 it could be as late as July 2012 but it will be everything the iPhone 4 wasn't.

1) It will be no where near as late as July 2012
2) don't get your hopes up- you seem to think it will be magical.

Nothing about smart phones is magical anymore. New iPhones are simply seen as minor upgrades now, rather than the next big thing :/
