I'd love to hear your explanation as to why I/we should trust you. Please do educate us all.
I agree that 1 and 3 are the best of the bunch but the first looks way too much like the iPod nano, the third looks like the ugly Nexus One, and all of them are horrendous because of lack of proportionate bezel. Call me crazy, but a phone needs a bezel. None of that edge to edge crap that all of these mock ups have.
This will never happen.

New features
Here are the features I'd like to see.
1. 4G connectivity.
2. More customization of the OS, no biggy if they don't though.
3. Better processor, A6 chip, 1.5 GHz maybe, that's what everyone else is doing.
4. Better battery life.
5. Bigger screen, maybe 4 to 4.3" and a 720p display like the Galaxy Nexus.
6. A higher quality camera would be great but it's good as it is and definitely needed on the front of the phone.
7. Finally, a redesign. An aluminum back would be sweet!

1000 hour standby
1 week charge only 1 times then used for next weeks ,

What I really want to see:
- 1 GB RAM
- 12 megapixel camera
- Improved front facing camera
- A5? At least a faster processor
- Battery with a higher milliamp out
- A solution to multitasking or a capacitive home button...the solution right now causes the home button to wear to quickly
What I want, but am ok without:
- Slightly curved (like the iterations before the iPhone 4) and a metal backing (like the original iPhone which was my favorite IMO)
- 4 in screen (or at least bigger than the 3.5 in)
- Gorilla glass
- 1 GB RAM
- 12 megapixel camera
- Improved front facing camera
- A5? At least a faster processor
- Battery with a higher milliamp out

Hrmm...
I think all I really want is a bigger screen and an upgraded front-facing camera.
Things I wouldn't mind being upgraded (but don't particularly bother me at this current moment) would be Siri, battery, CPU, RAM, and storage.
I'd also like to see some sort of change to the design of the OS. I mean, yes, it works and it does what it has to, but it's been the same since 2007. I guess they sort of threw us a bone with the dropdown notifications window with two widgets... but, come on? I really have nothing in mind though aside from widgets and those are typically quite lame and unnecessary. So yeah, no idea what Apple could do.
Inductive charging with my Mac would be kind of cool too.
Don't really care about 4G (AT&T, at least) as it's not available in any of the cities/towns I frequent. So meh
My guess for the iPhone 5: New design, ~4in screen, 4G, 10mp camera, maybe an upgraded front-facing camera, underclocked A6, 1GB RAM (or at least 768MB?), same storage options (16/32/64), Siri 2.0, no NFC

I've had this phone since July and I'm starting to get tired of how square it is, they need to flatten and curve the screen a little
Why yes, because you were sooo right on the storage capacity affecting battery life! Please, just stop!!!
I trust you, you're my favorite person in the whole wide world.
OMG! Hysterical!!
Widgets for my weather and stocks.
Toggle widgets
The ability to change the keyboard. Swype, swift keys, etc.
Slightly bigger screen. Phone size doesn't have to increase with cleaver bezel and phone design.
4g LTE once the radio technology is improved a bit.
NFC
A less locked down operating system. So things like toggle widgets worked and the ability choose different apps to use as default. Like camera+ can pop up from the home screen.
The ability to download outside of the app store without jail breaking.
Pretty much software things. For then most part processors, ram, cores, etc might be cool apple does a good job with software optimization so I think we are good on the front.
Hardware only : 4g, NFC and bigger screen.
