iPhone 5不太可能，iPhone 4s支持CDMA和GSM可能性比较大

Comparing time to take pictures: HTC Sensation takes 2.1s to take the first, 1.3 to get the second; iPhone 4S is 1.1 and 0.5s.
Now he's going to show you some pictures, so this text-only effort is going to render it well. Oooooh. Wooooow. Ahhhh. Mmmm. SQUIRREL! Sorry.
"Next: a worldphone." It's both GSM and CDMA. Works on both. Lot simpler for Apple - one less SKU (stockkeeping unit) to follow.
Camera system: he's pointing to the Flickr data about the use of iPhones that we linked to this morning (good, Phil, reading Tech Newsbucket, all the sensible people do).
8MP sensor, 60% more pixels than iPhone 4, can gather 73% more light, so faster to take the picture. (Lot of camera wonkery here; Schiller isn't usually a specs guy, so I'm thinking this is because people who like cameras REALLY REALLY LIKE NUMBERS). It's f2.4, 30% sharper, and can shoot moose. Well, two of those anyway, you figure it out.
Gasp! He forgot what he should include! Ah, face detection because of the A5 chip. "26% better white balance." (I've never heard Schiller tout so many meaningless specs, honest.)

over了,咱们没有iPhone5！！
现在北京时间 10月5日2：18分
Video! This being HD recorded on the handset.
(Look, after all this if they don't have an iPhone 5 then people are going to lynch someone. All that just for this?)
Phil Schiller is talking AirPlay, where you can stream music to your TV... and also AirPlay Mirroring where you can see what's on the iPod (Touch) or whatever on your TV.
"So the new iPhone 4S... entirely new on the inside... dual antennas... it's a worldphone... twice as fast downloads... camera... 1080p video camera... and of course iOS 5. And of course" (again?) "comes with iCloud. It's the best iPhone yet."
Pause.
"The best feature... is about voice." NOOO Phil.

好吧，盖棺定论
是我的预测的那样 iPhone4s+CDMA/GSM

价格和上市时间地区
Price: 16,32, 64... "it's not the best phones in our lineup"... hope rises .. "we also have the other phones, the iPhone 4 and 3GS.." GAAAH.
$199 16GB, $299 32GB, $399 64GB.
October 14 confirmed in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Japan.
"By the end of the year we're going to broaden to 70 countries and 100 carriers, this will be the fastest rollout we've ever had for an iPhone. And that's the iPhone 4S. Thank you."
Cook is back. "Pretty incredible isn't it?" (Crowd of journalists agape like the audience in Springtime for Hitler.) (Then again, we hear that the iPod shuffle and Classic are still available on the Apple Store, so there's good news for some.)
"When you look at these they're great and industry-leading, but what sets them apart is how they're engineered to work so well. Only Apple could make such amazing hardware, software and services and bring them together into this experience. I am so incredibly proud of this company ... for bringing this to reality. Thank you very much."

有人开始愤怒了，so。。。。that‘s Apple
所幸，乔帮主没有被点名
So that's it: lights up. Can't tell if they fell on Cook, Forstall and Schiller like zombies in the Walking Dead.
Then again, why not just call it the iPhone 5? It would be so much simpler. But hey - that's Apple.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
顺便问一句：iPhone 4S的白色版什么时候出来啊？
SO。。。。that‘s Apple！
