You'd think with all the money they are raking in from page views would get them a better camera
Yep, quite an interesting hardware config ;o)

Screw holes don't line up with the case?

Of all the things that might concern me about the next iPhone, this isn't one of them. Every iPhone to date has run flawlessly (on the OS used at release). I have no doubt this will be the same, whatever the technical specifications.
For one thing, no heat sink, ugh!
To this day I still can't believe they actually released the iPad 3 with a ****ing heat sink on the chip. If the tech wasn't ready, they shouldn't have released it, and the iPad has no business getting so hot in normal use. Imagine if your phone was like that all the time.
You would switch phones over a processor?
Much less a change from dual to quad core that you will never notice in an iPhone or android handheld.
The thing is, internal spec upgrades are something people have come to expect when an upgraded tech item gets released, so it is hardly something to crow about (and we know Apple tends to be quite conservative with specs). IOS6 runs on a 4s as well, unless it benefits the new iphone in some unique way. Same with 4G.
Likewise, Samsung was able to crap out a larger screen in less time, so what's there to be excited with about a slightly larger screen?
That's something I don't understand. The upcoming iphone can have anandtech writing a thesis about whether a minor feature will be included or not. Last I remember, the galaxy S3 didn't receive anywhere near as much fanfare.

Looks like it does to me...
Rotate the bottom PCBA from the first image about 90deg, and align it to the holes in the second image. Looks like 6 holes at least line up.

Trademarks are product category-specific
Also they would have done so for the A4 as well then.
+1 Beat me to it.
My gosh would product names be limited otherwise.
Nope it's going to be called iPhone dropping numbers.
Kinda like the did with the iPad this time around.
I would like to rephrase your comment:
New chip(fast is so obvious, it's an upgrade after all), slightly big display, same body, thinner dont matter at this point, glass was revolutionary- as steve said, 4G, and a slight upgrade to OS with SIRI limited to only few countries for local search and all.

That drawing would be 100% more effective if it was animated with the pieces coming together along with the Transformers transform sound. And the red lines are lasers.
Just saying.
If they combine an A6 chip with an OS that is still light enough to run smoothly on a 3GS, expect it to be like the 6.0 V12 TDI available with the Q7
