Meh, there's always a rumour that the next gen will be released within month. That rumour is also almost never true, Apple is pretty strict at keeping to their yearly release schedule. The only exception is when they want to reposition or consolidate, such as the iPad4. The only reason they released the 4 with the Mini was to get all the portable iDevices onto the Lightning connector. The odds are 99-1 that the next iPhone will be the 5s and it will be released on the yearly schedule in Sept 2013, not Q1.

Even if they do, I'm sure I'll be ok with my iPhone 5.

Well, I wasn't going to get an iPhone 5, but my contract with Sprint is done now, and I couldn't run away fast enough. Now I have AT&T, and for a $100 difference, I got the iP5 instead of the 4s. I like it. No really big changes from the 4s though, which was expected.

I bought the lifeproof case today for it, and if anyone wants I can write a review, and take some pictures.
