With two models, including the low cost device, this is shaping up to be an iPhone Christmas by the looks of things.

What can you expect? Faster, slimmer, lighter, iOS 5, A5, 8MP camera, HD video, Smartcovers, and more. The big discussions will be on NFC and/or LTE. The latter I think makes no sense right now, the former, well, I remain convinced there’s an iPhone wallet plan, but NFC may not yet be part of it…
