IPhone 5 was Steve Jobs’ last big Apple project

For me Steve Jobs last big project was saving Apple itself -- a company that everyone had written off when he came back there. His other last big project will be seen as having destroyed the PC as the main platform for users -- much in the same way that he started his career by using the PC to take away the limelight from mainframes.
And lastly I hope out there is some kid who will be inspired by Steve Jobs to do the next great thing years from now -- I know it will happen, and I can't wait to see it (so the ball is in your court kids!)
It's annoying to see this everyday, and it speaks a lot about the state of the tech blogosphere, where most are just quick to copy each other rather than think for themselves. It's not even a hard concept to grasp.
It's even easier than the one where they also erroneously called the next iPhone after 3GS, the iPhone 4G, when AT&T didn't even announce a LTE network or even a faux "4G" one, and Apple never named their iPhones "2nd or 3rd gen". iPhone 2G and 3G were named that way because of their 2G and 3G connectivity.
The original iPhone was called "iPhone." No 2G in the name. Yes, it was using a 2G network, but it was NOT the iPhone 2G. The iPhone 3G and 3GS (maybe) were the only named phones based on their network connectivity.
1. iPhone 2. iPhone 3G 3. iPhone 3GS 4. iPhone 4 5. iPhone 4S
So while you have a possible chance of the next iPhone being called the iPhone 6 based on past naming schemes, that doesn't make your argument correct.
Also, Apple can call their phones whatever they want. There wasn't an iPhone 2 but that doesn't mean there can't be an iPhone 5.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but that's your own fault for being so damn confusing. You seem to be struggling between understanding the "G" to mean phone generation instead of network generation.
Zero? There a reason for the certainty? I'm genuinely curious.
They're talking about the device that'll end up being called the 'iPhone 5'. Apple has a history of planning years in advance.
iPhone 5 is the only name that makes sense.
