There are very few (no?) apps that take advantage of the 5's full potential right now even.

Secure with NFC on iPhone 5S

The 4S was unveiled and released before his death though...

There is no "S" in iPhone, just like there is no "i" in team.

Not only that but it's already been settled in this very thread:

S in 3GS Stands for Speed.

S in 4S Stands for Siri.

Tim Cook confirmed this at All Things D this year.

- NFC
- Fingerprint scanner
- More RAM
- 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB models
- Scratch-resistant coating
- 802.11ac wireless
- Better battery life
- Upclocked CPU, or maybe even an A7
- IGZO screen?
- Better camera lens (fix the glare)

That's about all I can imagine. There are lots of other improvements I'd like to see but they're mostly software-based.

I'm pretty sure Squilly meant ideas for what the "S" will stand for if Apple releases a 5S...

Agreed. One of the most annoying forms of BS is when people post in discussions specifically to comment on the fact that they're not interested in said discussion.
