Yes, never had leaks from suppliers like this. Do the math. Cook does not know how to manage suppliers.
Cook has been managing Apple's suppliers since 1998. That was his job at Apple.
It is more likely we are seeing more leaks due to the simple fact that the iPhone is more popular than ever. There is more urgency for case makers to make leaks happen, and a larger production ramp-up means it's easier for them to happen.
I don't understand how people can go to LTE without unlimited data. I feel that I would burn through my plan in a heart beat.
Yes, but think how much better battery life would be if they stopped trying to endlessly slim down the device (it's pretty great as-is) and crammed in a thicker battery instead.

That's what the carriers are banking on.
I just laugh at all the people automatically saying that battery life will be horrid. A picture of the battery automatically gives us every single detail of of the phone. I mean it is impossible that some of the other inner workings could have gotten more efficient. No that could never happen.
1434 mAh
1434 mAh (approx).
Simple calculation.
(5.45Whr/3.8V)*1000
you get the mAh value.

That was no mystery-that's exactly what they have been doing.
Cook was quoted as saying that the current crop of LTE chips would force too many design compromises and they were waiting until chips were made that met Apples needs.
That was last year I think. On an earnings call if I remember right. Maybe it was the 4S launch. I can't remember---
EDIT: ahh here you go---

such negativity on this thread....
as for me im really excited to upgrade from my iphone 4 to the 5!
Me too, my iphone 4 is now 2 years with m time to go to my wife n i ll get the 5 hopefully
False. You'll benefit from extra space in landscape mode when viewing media such as widescreen movies and games and the change isn't insignificant. See https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1431952/

That's nothing, my iPhone is just over 5 years old
The only thing left is to activate VoLTE, which should deactivate the iPhone 5's 3G/4G HSPA+ chip to 100% use LTE. Oh and I hope LTE-A support is on the chip.
Coming from Android, nothing about my iPhone 4S battery is terrible. It's pretty dang good actually.
So sad that you've resigned yourself to buying a phone that clearly doesn't really excite or interested you, just because it's made by Apple.
If you don't want it, don't buy it. Go and discover one of the many hundreds of other phones out there - you might be pleasantly surprised.
Actually the whole reason Apple waited to put LTE in was to wait for smaller, lower powered versions of the Qualcomm chip...

So another barely lasts a day iPhone? We live in hope that maybe one day...

Don't worry mate, we all keep hoping for that very thing, unfortunately the hope soon turns to that familiar feeling of disappointment.

The initial speculation was NFC (there was even some patent drawings showing the same size/placement), but then a few source (including The Loop) said it's _not_ (some sources were basing this on the antennae requirements, Jim @ The Loop has probably been told through one of this channels).
Another member here found a patent on some kind of speakerphone design that is a small, square not unlike that area you pointed out.
Mysterious
I guess we'll know more in about 7 days Good to see Apple is doubling down on product secrecy, heaven forbid someone leaks photos of essentially every part of the new phone!
Plausible deniability, my friend...plausible deniability.

No mystery, that's the camera.
The battery is slighly better, that doesn't necessarily mean the battery life will be any better, could be even worse. LTE and a larger screen. I know the new panel is suppoes to be more efficient but is it efficient enough to overcome the larger physical size and the additional power draw from the LTE chipset? We'll know soon.
If this does happen, you won't see much until Apple seeds official iOS builds for it.
