Assuming the current leaks are what we are getting coming September 12th, why is no one questioning the decisions behind the new iPhone?
1. That metal/aluminum band around it, what's it for? Apple already had a more elegant design with an all glass back with the two previous iterations. And apple isn't fond of change for its own sake. The MacBook pro has had the same design for quite sometime. So.. My bet is that is has to do with NFC, and that finger print they purchased recently. Maybe you slide your finger on it and recognizes who you are to validate the NFC transaction?

2. Why taller? Granted. Tons of android phones if not all of them have at least a 4" screen. But then again Apple doesn't follow the herd unless it has a very good reason for leaving the iconic iPhone 4 design? Maybe they'll implement a new way of using those extra pixels? Widgets, anyone? Or maybe something we can't even imagine right now? There are well over 300 hundred thousand apps built for the 3.5" display. So there's got to be a reason why they'll break all those apps or are those pixels for something else.
3. Camera. The iPhone 4s has 8 megapixels. The standard for High end phones right now ( SG3, HTC one X ). And apple has always upped the MGPXs in every upgrade. Last time it went from 5 MGPXS to 8 MGPXS, more than 50%. And I just don't see a new iPhone with a mere 10 MGPXS. So is it 12? And if they further improve the optics. Then its bye bye point and shoot cameras. But what are we getting?
4. Processor. An A5x would be overkill in its current form. If the A6 is coming with it, it will be a hit in the US, where there doesn't seem to be a lot of quad core smartphones. C'mon even we have the quad core GS3 in here!!
5. Screen. IGZO with in cell touch? Or just in cell touch? Or just IGZO? Questions, questions. I hope to also see improved saturation and better coating.
5. I'd love better color saturation, although I find the 4S is basically the smartphone screen to beat in terms color saturation, or at least it LOOKS it.better touch controls I can't complain about.

Have you seen the color saturation on the new iPad? Amazing. I hope the new iPhone has the same level of color saturation.
The colors on the iPhone 4S look washed out after I look at a 3rd Gen. iPad screen.
but the A5X was only designed so that the iPad 3 could fully utilise the Retina display without loosing power. I think the next iphone will use an A6 as an A5x will be useless in an iPhone. Its basically greater graphics capability.
A6 quad core 1GHz dual core graphics?
----------
the latest leaked images of the front glass showed that the glass was much more transparent than the iphone 4 / 4s, maybe that is to make it crisper?

But they can call processors whatever they want. They could have a processor on 32nm die with dual core graphics that is better than the 4S and call it an A5X. And the explanation would be that the phone has a modified A5X.
