UPDATE: Well, our presumptions were a tad presumptuous. Blizzard did not release Hearthstone onto iPhone today. We apologize for the inconvenience, and the hope.

If rumors and speculation are true, we could be getting Hearthstone on iPhone tomorrow, April 8.

Were this to be the case, life as we (or rather, I) know it will simply cease to be. For too long the excuse for me has been, 'I'm not carrying a computer or tablet with me!' But a phone? A phone I have all the time.
The speculation comes courtesy of TouchArcade, who have very logically broken down their reasoning for why the much anticipated iPhone version of Blizzard's wildly popular CCG will hit phones tomorrow. People obsessively mine the notes and code of nearly every aspect of the game - Blizzard titles are noted for their devotees - and have found new 'Mobile Achievements' through some of the metadata, as well as conditions stating that only players with an iPhone 4S or later can play Hearthstone on their device.

TouchArcade then uses history as a guide, extrapolating how each of the new expansions were released one or two weeks before the game arrived on a different platform. Rare were the times that these were announced with all the pomp and circumstance of a media circus. They just sort of...arrived.
So, prepare yourselves just in case. Get rid of all that music on your phone (who actually has files anymore?), clear up that far too cluttered games tab and make sure your Battle.net account is up to speed. Hearthstone may be upon us.
Or, it may not. The signs point to 'tomorrow', but our fates are in the hands of Blizzard now.
