With the Apple media event just a few short days away, all eyes are pointing towards the next generation iPhone which may be called the iPhone 5. There have been a lot of rumours and leaks pertaining to this upcoming handset and also some speculations that there may be nothing new left for Apple to showcase when it unveils the device. Though there has been a lot said about this device, a recent report by The Telegraph speaks about another handset that could possibly surface at the event – an 8GB iPhone 4S.Matt Warman states in his report that Apple may do away with the iPhone 3GS and make the 8GB variant of the iPhone 4 as the brand’s entry level handset. To quote the author, “Sources close to retailers also suggested that an 8GB version of the 4S could be introduced. The 3GS was launched in June 2009 and sold a million units over its first weekend alone. At more than three years old, however, it is no longer able to keep track with the latest features.”This could likely spell the end for that smartphone and like Apple has done in the past, it could possibly introduce the current flagship in a smaller capacity, making it the brand’s second ranked handset after the iPhone 5.
