Been using the same dock connector for years... it pre-dates mini USB.

Apple isn't putting a gun to your head and forcing you to buy it.

Why, oh why, is Apple not improving their hardware in a more meaningful way>>>>>>??????
Despite all the silly talk, iOS is STILL a year or two ahead of Android in the areas you want an OS to count. iOS is dependable, intuitive, snappy, and efficient. It still can be improved...keeping track of and closing apps should be easier, launchers with automatic config/settings should be able to be pinned to the homescreen, a new mechanism to switch between running apps needs to be developed (no more irritating double taps of the home button, switching between apps should be gesture-based), auto-correction is just bad (the whole keyboard needs an update, I want to be able to block people calling, automatic updates of apps.... But with all that, it's still FAR superior to Android.
I want to continue using an Apple iOS phone, but I also want a modern hardware! A modern-sized screen 4.3" min would be appreciated. I want the whole thing to be more comfortable to grip, I'd like a digitizer on the larger screen to use a stylus on occasion, I'd like at least HD resolution, an indicator light that changes color for IM's, email, and voicemail. NFC would be nice (think this will happen despite Anand's analysis). LTE is a good thing, not doubt, and I'm glad that's coming. I don't need a useless new proprietary connector. I want FM radio since the hardware has the functionality baked in...
Just make the best phone you can Apple...

No they aren't. What they're doing is letting HTC and Samsung and Nokia pass them by in hardware. The iPhone used to be the best phone, period. Now it's a compromise, running the best mobile OS, with the best build quality, but using hardware at least a year out of date.
So how do you think the holes are made? people sitting down with small hand tools to make them? Are you for real?
Not IPhone 5
My friend having large company in China and he saying all IPhone 5 cases are not wide as IPhone 4s. Many factory selling them to foreigners now

I love when people make assumptions like this, and you know what they say about assume. So first understand I don't use the headphone jack for anything at all; I have an iPod classic for my music and podcasts that oddly enough that product never needs flipping either. And if you take it out of your pocket top first, you'll be surprised how much quicker you can get to the phone. So indeed you are incorrect, I haven't been flipping at all, much less five years.
Something else to consider that you haven't. I use a fliptop iPhone cover which incidentally flips off the bottom. So putting it in bottom first allows the top to stay aligned with the cover. Why is that such a difficult concept to understand?

There are six extra holes on the one side. My guess is that it's to accommodate the microphone. Still, it isn't congruent. I hope the sound from the speakers is greatly improved. We'll see.
Speaker, singular.
The existing iPhone has only 1 speaker on the bottom and the next one will likely be the same.
The side with the extra holes is likely the speaker and the other side is the microphone... just like on the existing iPhone.
you use a separate device for music? why
so why do you not like the headphone jack on the bottom if you never use it?
i use headphones with my phone every day and im happy they put it on the bottom so i dont have to flip the phone and the cord doesnt get in the way of the screen when using it now.
Most people usually hold the bottom of the phone when they use it, as shown on the photo. Unless you flip it around first, when you put the phone back into your pocket it will be upside down.
You might be right under other circumstances. However, the home button on my 4 is going bad quickly. The Apple store said they would replace it for $149. If I have to replace it, and I don't want waste my upgrade allowance on the new iPhone, I'll just replace it with a 4S. I should be able to find one relatively cheap after the new iPhone comes out.
And yet their stock prices still climb. Mind bottling, isn't it?
( Blades of Glory reference. )
My concern is that this new phone won't fit any of my docks. Maybe the first few products released with the new connector will come with an adaptor until most everyone has switched just a thought.
No, you obviously didn't read my post. I never said I purchased products based on stock prices. Hell, I don't even OWN an iPhone. What I was saying, which I thought was made quite clear, was that despite all the negatives about the iPhone which a previous poster listed, the stock prices still seem to steadily climb.
Unless of course you were stating that you buy products based on the stock price, which isn't an intelligent thing to do and you might want to revise your spending habits.
