October 4th Media Event To Be Held On Apple Campus?

Early this morning, All Things Digital claimed the October 4th iPhone 4s/5(?) media event will be held on Apple’s own turf.  Reasonably, ATD estimates that with Apple’s inability to nail down a particular date for the event, may have forced them to hold the event in a venue they control.

What still has the world guessing is the lack of knowledge about the mysterious “iPhone 5.”  It is still unclear how many iterations of the iPhone will be announced, when they will be released, and what form factor to expect.  If there are multiple form factors being released, Apple has done a great job keeping it locked up this time.

Evidence so far only seems to be showing an updated iPhone 4 (iPhone 4S), with slight processor upgrades and maybe an enhanced camera.  Rumors still circulate about an iPhone 5 with a new form factor (teardrop design), a gesture sensitive multitouch home button, Apple’s custom A5 processor, an enhanced 8 megapixel camera, and, most importantly, a larger Retina display.

Only time will tell all….
