Somehow I am thinking that the new I Phone “S”, may now have a meaning. “S” for Steve.

Sad

Hadn't thought of that but you are probably correct. 4S = For Steve. Maybe the insiders knew his time had come and timed yesterday's release of the 4S as a parting tribute.

I think your on to something... Iphone 4S is it called? This maybe translates to Iphone for Steve. Instead of naming it the Iphone 5, naming it the 4S is pretty cool. Could be a dedication to Mr. Jobs

I think it stands for ‘siri’.

“Somehow I am thinking that the new I Phone “S”, may now have a meaning. “S” for Steve.”

Actually, Jobs was a huge Porsche fan, and specifically modelled his company and marketing after Porsche -— niche product, high end, little compromise, form follows function — cultivate a very loyal core fan base.

Porsche traditionally uses “S” to denote the middle-superior model -— e.g., Carrera S, mid-way prior to a new model.

Hence the iPhone 4S

(I saw this interview with Jobs back in the 80s when he talked about how he modeled the whole thing after Porsche.)
