Let's waste no time and just dive right into why Apple's 'Let's talk iPhone' special event is going to be huge:

1. It has been 16 months since Apple launched iPhone 4. The pent-up demand couldn't be greater.
2. The rumor mill has been in an absolute froth of data spew. Realistic or not, expectations are huge.
3. Tim Cook is going to take the stage as the CEO for the first time - ever. Not interim, not covering for Steve, Tim's got the whole show. To see how he runs the ship is going to be an interesting ride in and of itself.
4. Jobs is likely to be somewhere in that front row crowd. When Tim asks Steve to stand and receive thanks, the employees – and even some of the jaded press (Michael Arrington anyone?) – will be standing and giving it up for the guy who pushed people and products to greatness.
5. iPhone 4, 4S and iPhone 5.
6. iOS 5.
7. iCloud.
8. Voice control like we've never seen before?
9. Which carrier gets what? With the latest mind-blowing Sprint rumors floating around today, it promises to be a great unveiling of providers and their plans.
10. One more thing... iPod touch with a possible 3G model?

Anyone who doesn't get how big tomorrow is going to be – never will. Did we miss anything? Let us know.
