It's more than just the size. There could be other technology improvements othert than just bing larger. Not to mention this was just a prototype.
Really, what purpose do all of these early rumors and parts leaks really have? None of the parts leaks shown here give any clue as to what's in the new iPhone 5... other than some of the parts are "slightly different".. ooo... there's a breaking story... a new model of a device actually has "slightly different" parts...
On a scale of 1-10 on the Yawn-o-meter... this is definitely a 10...

What good is it to have a camera with so many mega pixels when the quality of pictures is still not as good as a real digital camera? Perhaps they should spend time improving the lens design instead of the sensor?
You have hit the nail on the head, lens quality also plays a huge part
in image quality not just masses of numbers for pixel count people.
To those commenting about wanting a larger battery: A car with a larger gas tank doesn't necessarily get the same fuel efficiency as a hybrid.
well it does have slightly higher wattage. If apple did something like switch to OLED screen, it may still be possible for a larger screen. I don't know enough about OLED screens though to know if it is a viable replacement to it's current beautiful screen.
I kind of doubted that they would change the screen yet, since it would be easier to just mass produce the one they already have available, but I wouldn't know what apple is to do.
To improve the iphone lens is wasy but almost impossible. All you need is a bigger lens like the N8/N9 to collect more light which will reduce noise.

I would rather that the camera not be 8 megapixel--I think that Apple would be making a better decision sticking with 5, as it would allow for higher quality photos, rather than meaningless dick-sizing of on-paper camera specs. If you consider how small the iPhone sensor is (super tiny), then it follows that a sensor that is the same physical size, but with smaller pixels will have lower image quality and worse low-light performance.
Wait, is it possible that with the iPhone 5 packing a dual core A5, that it will use the battery more efficiently and more effortlessly, so we still have a longer battery life with (almost) the same battery?
* Not sure if the A5 is supposed to be more efficient than the A4, or just more powerful.

A thinner, slightly curved, aluminum back with a black Apple logo would be awesome. I miss the material feel of the original iPhone (not necessarily the shape.) A slightly larger screen, too.
