The information comes from the accessories section of Vodafone Germany's website. As discovered by iPhone-Ticker.de, the new iPhone 4S is also available in the existing 16GB and 32GB sizes of the current iPhone 4.
As for the iPhone 4, the listings also suggest that Apple will reduce its memory to 8GB to make it the company's new low-end model. That's the same strategy the company employed in 2010, when it began selling the previous-generation iPhone 3GS for $99, and eventually reduced that price to $49.
Vodafone's listing also suggests Apple will offer both the iPhone 4S and the 8GB iPhone 4 in black and white models. It took Apple 9 months to finally release the white iPhone 4 first announced in the summer of 2010, as the company ran into issues with coloring the glass on the handset.
Though the iPhone 4S name has been used colloquially for months to refer to what rumors have dubbed a "minor" upgrade to the current iPhone 4, this weekend the name was discovered in a beta build of Apple's official iTunes software. The listing from Vodafone provides even more evidence that the iPhone 4S name has been used by Apple as well, at least internally.
Apple will unveil its fifth-generation iPhone on Tuesday at 10 a.m. from the company's corporate campus in Cupertino, Calif. AppleInsider will have full live coverage of the event.

No inventory updates so far alluding to an iPhone 5 and an iPhone 4s. Looks like this might turn out to be a very dissapointing announcement tomorrow. Fingers crossed though, been waiting for months to get rid of my old 3GS.
Assuming a 4s gets released I'll kick myself for not having bought the iPhone 4 last year!
Never seen this image before even as a mockup...could this be the iPhone5???
64gb? Yes please!
64gb? Yes please!
Could this mean the death of the iPod?
Simtub, I have never really liked the iPhone look, but that is a beautiful phone.
These guys know nothing. Its all guesswork.
