With only minutes left before Apple officially unveils its next-generation iPhone, the rumored iPhone 4S has already appeared on the company’s Japanese website, reports Business Insider. The image shows both the black and white versions of the phone, which looks nearly identical to the iPhone 4, as expected. Above is a screenshot of the English translation of the page.

According to the website, the iPhone 4S will go on sale on October 14, which also matches earlier rumors. There is no mention of the long-rumored iPhone 5, which was expected to be revealed today, as well.

My iPhone 14 Pro is amazing, but there’s one thing driving me crazy

A black iPhone 14 Pro lying on a table.

About a month ago, I made a big change with my iPhone. After using the behemoth iPhone 14 Pro Max since it launched in October, I stuffed it in my office drawer and switched to the much smaller and more manageable iPhone 14 Pro. Why, you might ask? I already wrote a separate article talking all about it, but it really boiled down to one big issue with the iPhone 14 Pro Max. More specifically, it was too damn big.

After being fed up with its size and weight, I replaced it with the regular iPhone 14 Pro — and it's a change I've been thrilled with. I'm now carrying an iPhone that's possible to use one-handed, slips into a pocket or bag with ease, and doesn't weigh me down throughout the day. But as much as I appreciate the more compact size, going to the smaller iPhone has come with a nagging consequence that's introduced a new annoyance into my day. And it's driving me crazy.

A long-awaited Apple Pay feature is finally on your iPhone

Apple Pay Later

Apple announced Apple Pay Later last year when it revealed iOS 16 at WWDC 2022. The feature is finally rolling out to “randomly selected users” as of today, through a prerelease version of Apple Pay Later in the Wallet app. Those who have access to this prerelease version should have received an email to their Apple ID account, and they will need iOS 16.4 and iPadOS 16.4.

This is a prerelease version of Apple Pay Later, and the full service will be rolling out to eligible iPhone users older than 18 in the U.S. in the “coming months.”
