iTunes has a new iPhone 4S entry, but it shows a picture of the existing iPhone 4. What does it mean?
"Unless Apple still has the CDMA iPhone 4 as a placeholder image ... we’re fairly confident that the iPhone 4S will pack the CDMA iPhone design."
That's a big "unless".
- frou_dh 15y agoI wouldn't agree that it's a big "unless". The 3GS has set precedent for an "S" version meaning nothing more than suped-up internals.
- saurik 15y agoI find it highly unlikely, however, that they would use the exact same image: they would change /something/ about it, whether it just be what the wallpaper is, to the angles of the shots. Given that this is actually the same filename being shared from the other product, it seems much more likely that they haven't put the final images in place yet.
- glhaynes 15y agoI dunno - do the 3G and 3GS use identical-looking images? If so, is it actually the same file?

- wlesieutre 15y agoAt least for the computer icon in Mac OS, they haven't historically changed without visible design differences. I doubt they would handle iPhones differently.
- Pheter 15y agoNote that the iPhone is running iOS5
- alexcoomans 15y agoAgreed. I see why they did the 3GS so that the iPhone 4 was the fourth generation. However, they can't do that here because then the iPhone 5 would in fact be the sixth generation iPhone, and I think Apple would realize the customer support headache introduced with that.
- gte910h 15y agoThe 2G was actually the first generation, and referred to the mobile internet it used. I don't think Apple worries too much about what the numbers mean, and are just keeping it paired up with the OS version number
