I dont disagree, however, there is always going be a segment of any buying demographic that wants a little more something, so this is not exclusive to Apple, Samsung, HTC, Nokia or whomever.
Those manufacturers give choices.

Where was the notion of a camera and phone being one before the iPhone?

I hope you are right, cause I'm really looking forward for the iphone 5 and very high expectations. That makes me to believe IOS 6 will contain much more features than of announced. That would be a awesome upgrade then.
Here's my little prediction on the likely list of hardware upgrades we'll see:
Larger Screen
Upgraded Camera
Upgraded Facetime Camera
LTE
Faster Processor (maybe Quad)
Higher RAM
Longer Lasting Battery
Higher Capacity
And if the body style looks like the 'leaked' photos we've seen (which aren't confirmed of course) that will be fine with me.
What more could you really ask for at this time?
Quite honestly I think were cresting the hill to that plateau for a while with smartphones of today.
We're in the midst of the screen size war right now, right?
What's next? Now let's see who can make one with the longest lasting battery of any smartphone on the market.
Then what? Thinnest? No we've been there. Lightest? Nah, not an issue anymore. Holograms? What's the point?
Now things like 'Google glass', although a bit "out there" right now, I think this is where were going next. More wearable, hands free style tech.
Geez, just think what our kids will have in the next 10-20 years and we'll all be old geezers sitting around reminiscing about the good 'ol days of smartphones...of course...we'll be reminiscing to one another through our smart contact lenses then while floating around in our Wall-E chairs, lol.![]()
Doesn't count? Say's who?
That doesn't matter if you want what you want, and that's all you want.
That is for sure the case for most iPhone buyers who give zero thought to Brand X, WP8, WebOS or whatever.
Here's well over 100.
They do not have perfectly flat front and back panels like the iPhone, much less the perfectly flat sides and nearly sharp edges.

Thats pretty much all I want - LTE is not a deal killer for me, but the larger screen is. As long as it gets similar run and standby times I'll also be happy, and I actually DO like the images and renders based on the leaked parts.
I dont think it will be the same chip as the iPad as the iPhone does not need the huge graphics performance that the iPad does, so I think we will see a different A5X variant with similar video performance to the existing iPhone, but maybe better processor speed and also better low-power modes too

And I agree.
I will switch to Android/ Samsung if this is the next iPhone. It looks really dated/ old and small now and i'm getting tired of the iPhone 4, iPhone 4s and possibly iPhone 5 looking all the same. No thanks.
iOS6 looks old too. How come Apple isn't doing more innovation? Still the fixed icon grid while Google + even Microsoft have done more cool stuff in the mobile front.
I've been saying this for months now. Glad to see Businessinsider agrees.
im really certain that the leaked parts are the next iphone. Iphone manufacturing as gotten to such a high level, that its almost impossible to stop a parts leak. It just SUCKS that the new iphone is only taller and not wider. I use my phone primarily for texting or using portrait based applications. more and more lately my phone has felt cramp, and when i text my thumbs constantly bump into each other! If only they widened the phone or AT LEAST just got rid of the damn bezel!! idc how it looks, i just want to be able to text as fast as i used to be able to on my old blackberry...looks like thats never happening!
Even though ill be pre-ordering this the day i can, im disappointed that its just taller, but at least its something. Sucks that this is the design apple is choosing for the next 2 years. I think it will sell really well, but break records? no. I have shown this leaked design to all my friends who are anxiously waiting for the new iphone. They were all disappointed, and these are people who aren't tech geeks like us, but just normal people. and they most likely wont be buying the new iphone.

oh well, cant be king for ever right? last company that just put out minor revisions of the same phone is RIM, and they must be doing great! LOL
I hope apple surprises us, but more than likely what we've seen so far is the real deal...
Get another phone and get off this forum
I'm pretty comfortable with using voice dictation to crank out paragraphs of text with minimal errors. I'm a pretty good speaker with excellent dictation so my "hit rate" is pretty good.
When I replace my iPhone 4 with a "new iPhone" I'm sure I'll be using the dictation feature heavily. I don't want to carry a large phone around just so that I can use a keyboard (QWERTY) that was designed to slow me down in the first place.
