How would they out do the iPhone 4S?

All the things people are voting for here are possible improvements for the next iPhone http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1333651

 

There will always be things to improve on

 

Nothing is ever "finished."

 

At this point I want to see:

- energy improvements (improved batteries and more efficient components without performance cost)
- NFC
- external storage support (very unlikely but it's my wish)

 

Look at everything the competition has that the iPhone does not. Basically all of those things are viewed as improvements by some, but not by others. A lot of it is a matter of opinion, really.

 

NFC, new form factor--larger screen, liquid metal, better battery, 4G LTE, led notification, no home button.

 

LTE, improve battery life, new processor (may actually be the same one as the new iPad but with a lower frequency), new design (may make the phone slimmer ) , possible new form factor (slightly larger screen to possibly 4")

 

Flexible screen

 

Fix Siri so he's actually useful. You can't do nearly enough with him.

 

I just want a faster SoC and a new design. Battery improvement would be an awesome bonus, and LTE would be kickass. Better camera would be awesome but unnecessary.
