Was this a 16G iPhone 4S? From Googling around a bit, it looks like I
could still get a new 16G iPhone 4S from Sprint for $0 with a 2 year
contract. It also looks like I can still order an 8G iPhone 4 or a 16G
iPhone 4S from Apple.
I agree the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S will eventually stop being
manufactured. As I said in a previous message, I think the iPhone 5C
will be used to replace the 4 and maybe the 4S as well in Apple's line
up of smart phones.
I guess we'll start finding out more on Tuesday.

I had my 4S swapped out about two weeks ago because the volume button was
broken on it and since I had insurance on it through the carrier, I figured
why not get it replaced even though my upgrade was due for September 1st.
Sprint gave me a "reconditioned" device which I expected and I was told that
they weren't working with brand new 4S's anymore. For my purposes the
reconditioned phone was perfectly fine since I plan on getting the new 5S or
whatever it'll be called when it comes out and will either give my wife my
quazi-new 4S or simply sell it along with all the accessories like Mophie
Juice Pack, rubber protective case and extended charging cable if the
cheaper 5C turns out to have comparable or better specs than the 4S so we
can both have phones with lightning connectors.
While the 4S will probably still be around in circulation in secondary
markets for a long time, its continued manufacturing will all but certainly
go the way of the dodo bird.

I don't think this is the case. You've been able to buy brand new iPhone 4S
since the iPhone 5 was announced, and I doubt Apple stocked a year's worth
of iPhone 4S in advance. A quick Google search lead to the web page
http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/03/12/apple-to-diversify-manufacturers-f
or-iphone-5s-and-low-cost-iphone
where it talks about Apple's manufacturing partners producing low cost
iPhones, namely the 4, 4S and upcoming 5C. Also, don't forget the global
picture where the iPhone 4S is still a very popular phone.

Hi all,
I think it is very safe to say that Apple does not manufacture anymore
phones right now than the 5 and have stop manufacturing the 5 now as
they begin to roll out the 5C and the 5S. In my mind, they haven't
been manufacturing any IPhone 4 since the 4S came out and 4S since the
5 came out. Why should they manufacture old phones when they have
loads of phones in stock. Companies have to purchase a certain number
of phones and don't sell them all right away due to the great number
of phones Apple forces them to buy. If you buy a new 4S right now,
you can be sure its old stock. When there is no more old stock, then
they start selling used ones and when there are no more used ones,
they give you a deal to buy the next model up that they are stuck with
anyway because there are 2 other models out by then and life goes on.

Hi Christopher,
I think it's very safe to assume that the 4S will go away because of
what you said about the 5C and the 30 Pin connector. Except for the 5C
having a 4 inch display and Lightning connector it is much more like
the 4S than the 5 is since it is rumored to have the a5 processor.
I think it is more than conceivable that there will only be a couple
of versions of the 5C and the new 5S in 32 Gb, 64 Gb and 128 Gb. Of
course now that it is Sunday afternoon we will all know in less than 48
hours.
Speculation is fun of course *smile*.
Regards,
Sieghard

I don't think the question is what's going away. Obviously there will
still be a lot of iPhone 4, 4S and 5 out there. The question is what
will Apple still be manufacturing and selling as new iPhones. Googling
around reveals that there's a lot of speculation out there, and we
won't know for sure until Tuesday.
One rumor is that the 4S will be the entry level model, with it's
smaller screen, the 5C will be the midrange model and the 5S will be
the high end model. In this scenario, the iPhone 5 would stop being
manufactured since the 5C is so similar except for the plastic body.
Given that the 4S still has the 30 pin connector though, it may be the
phone that's discontinued.
The other scenario is that the 5C becomes the low end model, the 5 is
the midrange model and the 5S is the new high end model. In this
scenario, Apple would stop manufacturing and selling the 4S.
One article where the various rumors are discussed is at

Jumping in to this discussion, I doubt the five will be going away

Siegard, Are there still rumors the 5 is going away? Just wondering
what I will be able to get at upgrade time in December. Thought I
would be going to the 5, but on Apple Today, think that is the name,
it seemed to be the rumor
5 would be going away. Maybe the 5-c would be the upgrade, hoping not!

Hi Tess and others,
As Fred pointed out, the Apple event during which we learn all about
what the new iPhone has to offer will be on Tuesday at 10 AM Pacific.
I can't remember when you were able to preorder the iPhone 5 last
year, but it is assumed that the new iPhone just like last year will
be in Apple Stores on Friday, September 20 and also that if you
order it from Apple online that you will get it on that day. I think
you will be able to preorder the phone eiter on the 10th or shortly
after for delivery by the 20th.
If you want to know more I suggest you check if Rob will put out
another Today in iOS Podcast episode today or tomorrow. He did
mention the following on the Today in iOS website regarding what we
might see in the new
iPhones:
Here is a Bingo Card with many of the Rumors being thrown around for
the next Gen iPhone (5S) and possibly lower cost iPhone (5C) and

I think have even a remote possibility.
We will go over this Bingo Card on Ep 281 which will be out late
this week and then again on Ep 282 which will cover what was
announced at the Special event.
