Some people will never be happy, stick with your Samsung galaxy s crap
Spoken like a true 12 year old.

Is it me or does the hype for iPhone 5 seem muted compared to previous releases? While most would agree that this is an incremental upgrade, the new A6 processor is most welcome. Ives, on the other hand, really phoned it in this time. (Pun intended)
What we're waiting for is a fresh new design. Some have speculated Apple will be making use of their "liquid metal" technology to produce something curved like a 3G. Personally I find that model much more pleasant to hold.
I'm looking forward to being amazed all over again by the iPhone 6.
Every single year since the original iphone was released, i jailbroke/unlocked and sold my old phone on ebay for more than the new one cost. I'm doing the same this year. I don't understand why anyone would ever wait, when money can actually be made by upgrading?
Always hated the curved back of my 3G.
You seem to be stuttering with your list of improvements so let me consolidate that for you.
Size: Form Factor. Thinner. Worlds Thinnest. Large Screen. Aspect Ratio.
LTE: LTE support is major
So essentially its a new Size with LTE (I wont even count the digital connector since there are more drawbacks than benefits). While that may be huge for some people, claiming this is "the biggest update since the original" only shows how small their steps have been in a market that they pioneered. (Im not saying thats a bad thing. Im just saying that "incremental" is more accurate than "major update")
Not mainstream useful
Yes, there are some people who are using it and taking advantage of it
But it is not seen as useful to the guy on the street, Apple's target audience
Until it IS seen as useful, there is no reason for Apple to add it
Apple isn't in the habit of adding costly features that impact design, battery, etc. to fulfill the wishes of the small minority
When NFC becomes a significant force, they will likely add it
Flexible screens, advanced haptics and microphone and speaker systems built directly into the display are just some of the features possibly coming to iPhone 6!!

The next phone will not be the 5s and here is why.
the "s" in the iphone 4s stands for Speed.
And the next iphone will not get a speed upgrade because 4g is going to "LTE"
LTE stands for LONG TERM EVOLUTION.
Long Term...
That means they are going to be using 4g lte for awhile.
So we will NOT get a speed upgrade on the next Iphone.
Hence they will not call it the 5s
The 4s got a speed upgrade over the 4.
It got 4g over 3g
The Iphone 5 is getting a speed upgrade over the 4s
Its called 4g LTE
4g and 4g LTE are not the same, 4g LTE is Faster.
There wont be a 5s because there wont be a new upgrade to 4g LTE
Its LONG TERM EVOLUTION.
There wont be a 5s

Actually. The S in the 3GS was for speed. The S in the 4S was for Siri.

Did they actually come out and say this?
Yes, yes they did.
Did they actually come out and say this?
The iPhone, for example, went from 3G to 3GS, with the letter S connoting speed. In 4 to 4S, the S stood more for Siri.
eh, kinda. in an interview at d:
it sounds like it stood for siri after the fact, that it was going to be called the 4s regardless. i mean, if the next phone is called 5s like everyone thinks it is, isn't pretty obvious they're attaching meaning (if any is given) after the name?
If you currently have the iPhone 5, there is zero reason to get the upcoming 5S this July. You will still get the brand new iOS7 on your 5, and the shape and size of the two phones will be near identical.
I'd just get the Galaxy S4 or Nexus-Five, if you want a true upgrade. Or wait for the true next gen iPhone, in the iPhone 6 coming next year.
Galaxy S4 is a smaller update than what the 5 brought to the table. I'll wait and see what apple brings.
Also, this phenomenon of changing your phone every year is fairly new. The "s" options are great for people on a 2 or 3 year cycle. And many of those people wish to stick with the iPhone.
