The only thing -- the only thing --Apple has publicly said about the much-awaited announcement of its new iPhone 5 is that it will hold a press briefing Oct. 4 at its headquarters in Cupertino, Calif.
What will they discuss there? "Let's talk iPhone," said the emailed invitations.
Beyond that, everything is speculation -- but there is a whole cottage industry devoted to speculating about how Steve Jobs' little California startup will next change the world.
The new iPhone, if you believe what they're saying ... will have an 8-megapixel camera ... a rounded back ... a larger screen ... won't disconnect calls if you touch the edges ... will fly -- well, it won't fly, but the rumors do.
In that spirit, here are some of the top features of the new phone, as reported by some of the more industrious Apple followers out there, including 9to5mac, AppleInsider, MacRumors and many others.
One critical caveat: Nothing here -- nothing at all -- has been confirmed or denied by Apple. The company cheerfully but categorically declines comment before product announcements.
Of course, if it didn't, all those other sites wouldn't have nearly as much fun trying to ferret out just what's coming.
