Apple stopped selling it on their website.

Most competitive makes don't sell their devices on their website at all. That really doesn't demonstrate anything.

Not only does Apple still manufacture the 4S, they recently restarted production of the iPhone 4 (sans S) for the developing world. I would cite this, but you can find references everywhere and with ease, so that hardly seems necessary.

And yet, Apple does, so it's a hint. They've been selling 4S on their website up until a month ago.

It took you longer to write this than it would have to google a reference and post it. But then you would have noticed that (a) it is all rumors, and (b) it is from February - 8 months is a long long time in manufacturing.

Markets have segments. Apple decided to sell their 4S through other channels in the US (they still sell it on their site in Brazil, which I guess by your logic proves that they still manufacture it. That is a country of 200 million), likely to continue this absurd and so easily disproven myth, repeated in here, that they only chase the high end.

But then you would have noticed that (a) it is all rumors, and (b) it is from February - 8 months is a long long time in manufacturing.

It actually isn't hard at all, nor are they rumor sites. I'll give you a hint -- Apple moved all iPhone 4s and 4 production to a manufacturer called Pegatron. And before you implore me to provide the research for you, how about you demonstrate a single credible source that Apple ever stopped manufacturing it?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone#Model_comparison says it is discontinued. If it's so easy to cite a credible site that says it is still in production, why don't you just do it?

No, wikipedia isn't credible. Can you find a source that says the 2007 first generation iPhone is no longer in production? By your logic, it is still in production.

It's possible that you are a party to non public knowledge. All power to you. But the public knowledge I was able to find does not support your assertion.

have a reference that isn't a rumor site?
