Essentially the 4S would be an updated version of the 4, and the 5 would come later down the line.

The first iPhone was launched in 2007, followed by a new version just about every year following.

Since then the franchise has gone on to sell 300 million units of the device with no signs of slowing up.

In comparison, Sony sold 230 million units of the Walkman over 30 years. The iPod is going on five years.

This is the first major announcement Apple is making since Tim Cook took over for Steve Jobs.
