So if there was an iPhone 5, it's preorders would be the same as worse as now, right? A lot of people upgraded from the 3GS to the iPhone 4 even when in contract, I believe the percent of people doing that is lesser this time and would've been higher at this point.

I don't think anyone said the iPhone 4S will do badly. It's a new iPhone after all and there's a ton of 3GS'ers out of a contract, not to mention people holding off on buying an iPhone 4 waiting for the new phone from a few months.
