"That’s the whole reason why the “3GS” is – following Apple’s numbering scheme – not considered a minor version." That's backwards. The 3GS is not a minor version because it's not a minor version, period. The number of changes were as substantial as previously. The numbering conundrum starts with the 3GS not the 4. They couldn't call it the 3 because it followed the 3G. They couldn't call it the 4 and it certainly couldn't be called the 4G. When they got to the 4, "4" was both convenient (it was the 4th phone and followed a phone with a 3 in the name) and a bit sneaky (a not small number of people bought it under the impression that it was a 4G phone as well). The next phone could logically be called a lot of things: It could be called simply "iPhone LTE" or even "iPhone 4G". Or it could be called the "iPhone 6" (the 6th phone running iOS 6 with an A6 processor, number of the beast lol). It could also conceivably called the 5 (because hey they're still using "4" this year and "5" comes after "4"). Or they could abandon numbers and tech labels completely and call it the iPhone Classic (assuming they open the gates and come out with multiple new phones) or the iPhone Jagwire or whatever.
