I skipped the 4S and have been playing around with Android before recently moving back to BlackBerry. If the new iPhone looks decent, I'll probably give it a try. However, we should know by Thursday morning (Aus), not Friday!

My gf plans on getting a new iPhone since she is up for a upgrade. I am kinda jealous but I have been enjoying my 4s for a year now.

I just got my first iPhone (a 16gb 4S) in mid December. It will do its job until the iPhone 5s or iPhone 6. Gives me time to save up for a 64Gb model too.

Looking forward to see what they come up with, I'm hoping they pleasently surprise us with a 4.3" instead of just 4 but I can handle 4 if I have to. Basically, it's going to come to the iPhone 5 or the next Google Nexus phone. It'll be hard to choose as I enjoy both platforms but I can't take another phone with a weaksauce GPU like my Galaxy Nexus.

Best guesses say

4Inch screen.

No NFC.

4GLTE.

Improved Siri.

Alot of talk about how much better the PPI is.

Filler talk about how good the PPI is.

Talk about how they think the 4S is a good design and don't want to improve much upon it.

Same price per memory size of previous versions.

Show off InfinityBlade2 and talk about how the new chip is as good as the new ipad.

Looks like the leaked models were the right the actual design.

No NFC was what killed it for me. It looks like a cool bit of tech, but my 4S will last me long enough to wait for the 5S, when they include it.

Hmm, have to admit it was disappointing. While I don't really list the iPhone as one of my choices when picking a phone (I'm not a fan of iOS), I am always excited to see new tech. Everything that was announced was either something we expect for a new phone (slimmer, better battery life etc etc), or something that should have been in the 4S (LTE, bigger screen). Also since we more or less knew Apple was ditching the 30 pin connector, it was disappointing that they didn't move to the standard micro-USB cable (not surprising though).
