I hope so, as long as I don't have to be one of the soldiers. Somebody has to suffer for the greater good of the iPhone community.
I was forced to used a BB @ work. Hate it!!
Used a samsung Galaxy S before I switched to 4, really don't like the plastic feel.
I will stay with my iP4 if only spec upgrade but doubt Apple will do it.
If apple doing this, it will give the public an image that Apple lost the soul after Steve has left. They will definitly have iPhone 5 introduced tomorrow.

I was use Android and decide to move to an iPhone
On Andorid Device I still missing on many aspect such as the sync didn't perfect and the OS not solid as iOS... and the most interesting is iPhone is ready to use after we purchase it....
For me iPhone is a phone should it be

am i the only one the iphone 4 design over the "new" leak iphone 5 design ?
i mean i phone 4 is really unique , no other phone have all glass constructions.
and to be able to use metal bumper is a plus compared to normal phone cases.
i really hope the same form factor+ A5,bigger RAM, bigger screen, better camera, and i'll surelly upgrade.

I can't answer you because I've never tried other brands...
I had Nokia N's, iPhone 4, Nexus One and Nexus S in the last 4 years, if I'm correct..
Happy fashion!

if there was no IOS 5 then apple could of been in trouble with the 4s but to be honest with it? alot will buy it.
For me its all about the screen size and fresh design.
I thnk this matters A LOT to people hence why this thread has now grown to 13000+ views!!!!!!
I don't care what its called but I want this new iPhone to be different than the 16 month old version we've got. Don't get me wrong, the iP4 design is excellent. But is also looking dated. The larger screen (even <half an inch) would make a huge difference and feel like a refreshed experience, while a new design would justify an upgrade. A camera boost + faster A5 chip alone would NOT justify an upgrade sorry Tim. Not when I will be able to put iOS5 on my current iP4.
I'm really hoping we'll see an all new bigger screen, slimmer iPhone aka iPad design. And even though we have no evidence yet, i'm hoping just like the original iPad that Apple have this new design under lock and key and will shock everyone tomorrow
...but if not, then no an iPhone 4s would not be my next phone. I would then be looking towards Samsung/Googles Nexus Prime next week

I was thinking about getting an S2 but I don't think verizon offers it. I will probably buy the 4S and sell it and just keep my 4.
No one is sure (yet) why Verizon passed on what most sites called "The best smartphone ever" (Samsung Galaxy S 2).
Some people think that Verizon might have scored a timed exclusive with the Nexus Prime, and saw no reason to dilute their offering with a similarly-equipped Galaxy S 2.
Personally, I think that Verizon might have scored an exclusive with the 2nd revision of the Galaxy S 2. My guess is an upcoming 4.5" screen phone with higher resolution that does LTE with the Exynos processor (current Galaxy S 2 phones cannot do HSPA+ or LTE with the Exynos, the ones that do use the weaker dual-core Snapdragon).
Only time will tell. Nexus Prime was slated for release before 2012, but who knows whether that will happen.
Next year is going to be interesting. Google is rolling towards complete cloud integration with video chat/docs/email/google+/voice, etc
Microsoft is obviously trying to play catch up to Android, and Apple doesn't offer all of the 1st party services and features that Google and Microsoft can.
I think this is why Apple is going hard with their new campuses and facilities. I think they have realized that they have just about hit saturation point for their iDevices. Hardware market share won't grow much more with the fierce competition. Software and data is the upcoming new front.
I could not have said it better myself. I am getting sick of seeing all these Android phones with nice 4.3" screens.
I have kept my 3GS for over two years now, not going to settle for a "4S" when the Iphone 4 has already been on the market for as long as it has.
If they bump the screen up to 4", upgrade the processor, RAM, and camera, I will be happy and will gladly upgrade. If they through an iPhone 4 clone out there with a 3.5" screen with processor and camera upgrades only, I'm out.
Hoping I don't have to go with the Galaxy S II.
I don't care about a redesign. If apple kept the same design but increased the screen size, I'd upgrade. However, if its just a spec bump only upgrade, I would consider getting a Nexus Prime or some other android device for a year.
I'm curious to try Android. A lot of phone that run the OS are super nice (at least spec-wise... haven't really held/played with one for a significant amount of time).
Love my i4, though. I really just want a bigger screen. Plus like others have said, I'm already super invested in the eco-system, it syncs perfectly with my Mac, and I like the jailbroken options I have.

Nearly everyone I know that has owned an iPhone 3GS/4 and an Android phone, prefer the iPhone hands down.
It just works better and is more reliable. The hardware is nicer and the app selection is broader.
People will argue with me and act as though Apple isn't competing with the high end Android phones. Android and the manufacturers it has on board do stupid things that bother me, like the buttons for example. Why can't they come up with a universal format for the home, back, option and search keys?
Why does Android supposedly have phones with the fastest processors and nicest cameras, yet they tend to suck?
Why is Apples A5 processor totally destroying all the other dual core processors out there in benchmarks?
Feel free to get that buyer remorse out of you and convince me that Android is the end all be all of Phone operating systems and Apple copied everything from them.
i'll be here enjoying a phone that works and works well, all the time.
