I have the iPhone 3G, and pretty soon I will be over the 2-year service agreement for my plan. I do plan on buying another iPhone. My predicament is with how long do you think it will be until the next iPhone model is released? The iPhone 4 has been out for a good while now, and I don't want to buy that and then next week the iPhone X is out.

iPhone 5 / iPhone 4S will most likely come out at the latest in Fall 2011.
There are rumors that it could be summer, but nothing too substantial.

I think Apple's going to break the WWDC release schedule this year. The company doesn't like definitive release schedules because then customers delay purchasing if they come to expect a new model will definitely drop at a given event. That's why the Macworld centric release pattern went away. Maybe Apple will go really crazy and think that the iPhone 4 in white counts as a whole new phone revision.

I really hope they don't count that white one as a new release. That would be such a bummer to me. This phone is still in pretty good condition, and I will have some time to dedicate some money to the new phone.

The end of fall will bring Christmas and the iPhone 5, and it is only 6 months away!

I hope they get it out long before Christmas. That'd bring a supply crunch and I don't think apple wants to be the grinch. In recent timed I don't recall any near-Xmas product refreshes.

Fairly consistent rumors point to September, when the iPods are usually updated.

The low-end Mac Pro is the most overpriced Mac since the IIvx

I would really wait if I were you! You mentioned that your 3G is in good condition, just wait it out for a couple more months.
