BGR is reporting that Apple will release a radically redesigned iPhone in August.

The site has confirmed that Apple is indeed giving some developers access to a device known as the iPhone 4S. This device has upgraded internals; however, their source says the next generation iPhone to be publicly released will not only have upgraded internals, it will also have a radically new case design.

BGR notes that while generally consensus has Apple releasing a new iPhone around September, their source says Apple may hold an event in early August to announce the new device and release it during the last week of August.

It's unclear what changes Apple has made to the design of the phone; however, TNW previously predicted a teardrop design.

Update:
Just to make things a bit more clear, BGR's source says the device 'known as the iPhone 4S' is real. However, this is not the device that is being released. Rather, a completely redesigned iPhone 5 is being released.

The important question that needs to be asked is, "Will this new phone be 4G capable?" If not, I don't care what they call it or what they have, it will not be worth an upgrade, IMO

Chill. It's just some poor journalism. When they say iPhone 5 and iPhone 4s they're referring to the same phone, they just don't know what Apple will call it yet.

iPhone 6 will be released end of next year with updated Steve internal organs.

My prediction (based in pure logic) is iPhone 4S with preinstalled iOS5 this year. iPhone 5 next year.

What about iOS 5 launching in the fall then?

This sound weird. How could they release iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 at the same time? no sense.
