Rumors are undeniably strong indicating that regardless of what the next iPhone is actually called or numerically sequenced it’s going to have a slightly different form factor allowing for a taller 4" screen. It doesn’t sound like much of an upgrade from the 3.5" screen of the existing iPhone, but in actual use the difference seems like it could be quite massive.

The bright side of these cloud of rumors (and subsequent rumor-motivated video creations) is that we won’t have to wait much longer to find out what the next iPhone is going to be all about. Apple has a media event scheduled for September 12th where the new iPhone (and potentially even the rumored “iPad mini") will be unveiled and we can play the whole “which rumors were right and which rumors were wrong" game.
