Typical that the general iPhone public didn't get it.

I think the iPhone keynote rumour round-up was:
45% = iPhone 5 (major hardware improvement over iphone 4) + Cheap iPhone 4
40% = iPhone 4S + iPhone mini (a small cheap iphone 4 to regain market share)
15% = iPhone 4S + Cheap iPhone 4

iPhone 4S's biggest improvement is in software:

-Notification Centre = stolen from Android
-Multitaskign Gestures = stolen from WebOS/QNX
-iMessages = stolen from Android
-Camera unlock = stolen from WP7
-PC free = stolen from Android
-AirPlay mirroring = stolen from TouchWizz
-Reminders = stolen from somewhere (WebOS/Windows Mobile?)
-Photos (editor) = stolen from somewhere (not sure, think from HTC Sense)
-Wifi-Sync = stolen from somewhere (not sure, think from Windows Mobile)
