White Apple iPhone 4S shows up in leaked photo of AT&T's inventory system

This leaked picture of AT&T's inventory system shows a white Apple iPhone 4S

The last we heard about the Apple 4S came when we reported to you about the "inside-resources" that Case-Mate claimed to have at Cupertino, telling the case retailer to expect both an Apple iPhone 4S and an Apple iPhone 5 to launch next month. We also showed you the Apple N94, which we considered could be a template for the iPhone 4S. Tonight, we have a good indication that the Apple iPhone 4S is real and is coming to at least one of the two current U.S. carriers that is selling the iPhone 4.

Engadget was able to obtain a leaked photograph of AT&T's inventory system and sure enough, it clearly shows that a white version of the Apple iPhone 4S is expected to join the carrier's lineup. Unlike the other models of the iPhone listed, the Apple iPhone 4S does not show how much internal storage will be available on the unit.

According to the inside source for Case-Mate, the Apple iPhone 4S is expected to resemble the current Apple iPhone 4 with an upgraded A5 dual-core processor, replacing the A4 on the current iPhone, and an upgraded 8MP camera in place of the 5MP one on the iPhone 4. It is expected to be priced lower than the new Apple iPhone 5, giving the company coverage in both the high and mid-priced phone market in order to compete with Android models in both price levels.

I think it's fake too because of the 3G listing and if the 4S is already in the inventory then why isn't the internal storage listed?

Why apple is overrated than any other best models? I never used apple but i see people going behind apple. Is there any reason with apple being good? Correct me if i'm wrong

It's a matter of preference, also the iphone is considered to be on Mainstream, apple created a reputation for that. And there is a limited number of devices on their lineup unlike other manufacturers and everything is done secretly. So it builds up curiosity

I wonder.... Now does this means the iphone 4 will be sold even cheaper than the other? Or the iphone 5 will have LTE or winax and be even more expensive than your regular models? Or they are having a versión for the smaller carriers? I don't see the 4S with the specks its gonna have being the prepaid cheap iphone? Or is it gonna be the flashgrip tactic similar to the one done by samsumg with two superphones priced differently?

good question...my guess is that the 4s is going to be price same or similar as the iphone 4 and the the iphone 5 is going to be £/$100+ more...i think they are doing with the the mac...a normal version and a pro version

my guess is that its going to be a 3 - 4 tiered system to make up for the current 2 tiered system they have in place now currently iphone4 -$200, iphone 3gs $0-50 new line up iphone5 - $200-250, iphone 4s $150-200, iphone 4 $50-100, iphone 3gs - prepaid or discontinued

the only real question is that if the 4s and the 5 are going to be on the same carrier, is there enough difference in screen size to justify the price difference between the 2? So far it sounds like they are going to have nearly identical specs except for the i5's larger screen size. 3.7 inches is not that big of a deal though, so there better be many hidden surprises in the i5 to justify the price differences.

The question if there is coming out iPhone 5, iPhone 4S or both.

i always just assumed that the 2 big carriers (VZW ATT) would get the 5 and the smaller guys would get the 4s that way everyone would have one but it would save the big guys from lots of peeps migrating to the value carriers to save money. People are easily fooled and if you say "VZW has the iphone5" and "Sprint has the phone 4s", most people will just assume that the 5 is loads better than the 4 and stay on or go to VZW. From the looks of it, they both look nearly identical right now though.
