Let's Talk iPhone: Two iPhones Or One?

At long last Apple has finally sent out its invitations for the press to come and see, on October 4, its latest, and presumably its greatest iPhone ever, the now mythical iPhone 5.

As usual, Apple's invitation comes with a cryptic graphic, as seen on the left. It features four iPhone icons: one with the date, the time, the location and that of a mysterious phone complete with the number 1 encircled?

Does that mean that there will be only one phone unveiled, and not two as has been previously reported by some?

Yes, some are now saying that there will be only be one phone announced, and it's not going to be the iPhone 5, but rather just an updated iPhone 4S.

I hope not! That's because I"m personally hoping for both a cheaper, pre-paid iPhone 4S for the masses, and an ultra-whizz-bang, super-duper, me's-just-got-get-me-one-of-them new iPhone 5 doo-dads, complete with their rumored and utterly amazing Assistant voice input control feature with artificial intelligence that will leave all other iPhone copy-cat wannabes shrieking with utter and sheer, drop-dead envy!

Personally, the one other thing that I would also love to see included would be the inclusion of a much larger screen, and one that could easily compete with any of the Android phones out there; you know, the ones that like to pretend that they're actually better and more innovative and original then the iPhone itself, because, well we all know that they just happen to come with slightly larger screens, or a physical keyboard, usb dongle, or what have you?

This will also be the very first time that we see Tim Cook take the stage as Apple's new full-time CEO, but I wouldn't be all that surprised if we also see Steve Jobs make at least a cameo appearance, as it would be a great vote of confidence in not only Tim as CEO, but of Apple's over all future in general.

Of course, besides the iPhone itself, even though Apple's press invite directly states: "Let's talk iPhone", don't be too surprised if we hear a lot more about iOS 5 and its official release date as well, which I suspect will be released on the same day that the next iPhone is available for purchase, in about a week or two after the press event. After all, iOS 5 will be the very heart and soul of the iPhone, and, not to mention, the iPad and iPod as well.

Also, even though its basically going to be all about the iPhone this coming Tuesday, don't be surprised at all if it's also the day that Apple will announce that the Classic and the Shuffle iPods will be discontinued. With the sales of the iPod Touch rising, and the Classic and Shuffle dwindling, I think it only makes sense that Apple will continue making only the hot-selling Touch, and the Nano.

So, in the end, will there be two iPhones announced, the iPhone 4S and the iPhone 5, or only one?

In conclusion, that's what I'm dying to know, but I will just have to wait until next Tuesday to find out, but I do know that I'm hoping for both of them, the iPhone 4S and the super-duper iPhone 5, which I believe will be the greatest, most dagg-nabit, super smartphone ever!

And that's my 2 cents 4 this cold, but sunny Wednesday, September 28, 2011
