Apple to Release iPhone 4S with New GPS Features?
TheNextWeb offers some last minute information based on "sources familiar" with the situation. Sources familiar with Apple’s plans have revealed to us that Apple will indeed debut the new iPhone 4S today, featuring an 8-megapixel camera with “enhanced optics” and “more definitive GPS features” thanks to Apple’s new A5 processor.
Their report mirrors much of what has been expected. Apple will released an iPhone 4S today with an 8-megapixel camera and an A5 processor. The only new information is the claim that the new iPhone will have "more definitive GPS features". The site doesn't clarify what those might be.They also report that the teardrop "iPhone 5" design that we've seen for months is a prototype iPhone "which won't be available any time soon" and the iPhone 4S will have the same dimensions as the iPhone 4. The focus of the new device will be the Assistant recognizer that we've previously profiled.
Overall, the information is consistent with what we've heard about today's announcements. Apple's event kicks off today at 10 a.m. Pacific / 1 p.m. Eastern.

Wow....
16 months later and we get the EXACT SAME PHONE with a better processor and a slightly better camera?
I don't think that word means what you think it means.

I still can't believe Apple would wait 18 months just for a spec bump. Doesn't make sense, no matter how many rumors I read.

This isn't 2009 w/ the 3GS - Android is exploding and an iPhone 4S will not make people run to the Apple stores.

hello Samsung galaxy S2
I bet that < 1% of the members here that say "... I'm getting an Android phone if this is true!" will actually get an Android phone.
I bet > 99% will keep their iPhone or buy the new one.
I bet Apple will sell millions and millions of new phones.

If the focus for the new iPhone is the new "Assistant recognizer" I'll be disappointed since I'll probably never use it
