Sure I'll play along. Even though there's not a chance in hell of all of this being included:
Longer screen = Meh
Still a bigger screen (I believe 25% more screen real-estate?) while keeping the small form factor.
Higher quality screen =
The New iphone screen is rumored to incorporate the touch layer as well as the thinner glass will make the display better, with less distortion and glare.
LTE = mainly a waste since LTE won't be ubiquitous with AT&T till end of 2013
LTE is available everywhere I go, so yeah its a big deal to me.
Unibody design = iPhone 4S already has one
No it doesn't, you can remove the back plate. Unibody means the back and the sides are all one piece.
Gorilla glass 2 = Easier to scratch than the first version of GG
Where did you get that idea? Check the videos on the new diplay panel, its much more resistant to scratches.
Metal back = 4S glass back can be replaced for $20, while metal back could be stuck w/ scratches & scuffs
Porbably yes on the scratches and scuffs, though hopefully its color is solid all they way through, that way the scuffs and scratches arent as noticeable. As for buy a metal back for the iPhone 4S, sure, you can do that, but it wont be the same.
Thinner = iPhone 4S is plenty thin. I don't want it so thin my iPhone snaps in my pocket
Well, I'm sure the metal unibody will make it a little difficult to snap in half.
Faster = iPad 3 already has heat issues with the A5x chip. I shudder to think what will happen to the new iPhone when your using it on a sunny day
No real rumors about what prossecor it will use, though I'm sure if its the A5x they will have used a smaller dye and underclocked it to limit the heat.
NFC = So now theives can not only steal my phone but use it to buy things afterwards. Great
Pretty sure they'll need some kind of password or verification to make purchases, and you can always locate and erase the data on the phone with iTunes, unlike your actual wallet where you would have to call you credit card companies and banks one by one to cancel them all.
Better dock connector = Huh? What are you even talking about? Why would a different dock connector be "better"? Does it somehow magically give you increased features than the 30 pin dock connector?
Yes, it'll be USB 3, so much faster transfer speeds. Plus it'll be easier to plug in and out, maybe no big deal normally, but after a long days work, or if your exhausted, or wasted, the easier plug will be much appreciated.
