Another I Phone On The Way

I think my new dream of this new frontier of technology is to actually finish paying for a device or gadget before it becomes obsolete. I am a late rider on the Apple bandwagon, but I did finally get my wife the I-Phone 4. Now less than one  month after plunking down the dollars, I find out, I-phone 5 is on the way. I personally don't see how they can make telephones do much more. I basically use mine for phone calls and text messages for when I can't take a phone call. So what is the next generation of Apple ingenuity going to bring to your neighborhood?
