I still don't understand why so many people seem to desire a big 52647" phone. Seriously, doing iMovie stuff is more an iPad task. For me, an iPhone would be about texting, phone, basic Internet, mail, maps, and games. And guess what - the game apps are designed FOR that screen size! So every inch of the screen is used well. So why in the world would you want a larger one, that has less chance to fit in your pocket? If you really want such a big phone, get a Galaxy Note.
If thy lose the bezel I suppose they could make the screen a tad wider, but personally I don't need a bigger screen and I highly doubt they will bring out multiple form factors.
However, were losing eyes on the topic here. The new speakers seem a lot bigger, so we could expect sound improvements, right?

It wasn't revolutionary, but it's a major feat of engineering, manufacturing and design. Anyone can make a larger phone, but it requires far more skill (and money) to make a phone that's significantly smaller and lighter while packing a larger display and a custom CPU that's faster than a 4core SG3 and a GPU that puts the top of the line Android tablet, the N10, to shame. All these improvements and they maintained battery life, improved the camera, and wrapped the whole thing in glass and metal which are far more difficult to work with than plastic.
As I mentioned in another post, it makes the GS3 look like amateur hour.
But that's not what the average Joe cares about, wether it's done with stellar engineering or not. The only thing they can rely on is the launching video, with Ive talking about 'extraordinary efforts' and such, with a few cutscenes from some things getting cut or polished.
Take the battery. However well it may be designed, it's not that the iPhone has double the batterylife of an Android smartphone. In benchmarks the iPhone does have a above-average performance, but after a day you still need to charge it, and if you're a poweruser you might not even make it through the day.
