The new iPhone will have tons of malware?
The only valid point on this list is no pentile

Sarcasm, and no. The fragmentation and UI lag are very real problems. Battery life is more YMMV.
"What things will the new iphone have that not on Galaxy SIII ?"
How the heck do we know. Call Apple
If the 4" rumors are true, then perhaps:
- Letterboxed apps that don't use the entire screen height.
if you are talking about new, unannounced features, then these are expected:
Siri 2.0
unique 3d maps
better battery
better camera
better resolution
BETTER DESIGN
New big developer Games and apps (as always)

Not only is battery life YMMV, the 4S has had plenty of criticism for it, even around here. Mine seems like it has improved. But it's a trade off...more options, or more battery life. Having things like widgets and a larger screen is obviously going to drain your battery faster. What's the big deal? I'd rather have more features and have to maybe plug my phone in, say, while I'm driving...or into the computer while working. Not a big deal.
UI lag. Well, I've had one Android powered device (Moto Atrix). The only issues I had with that was scrolling wasn't quite the same, and pinch to zoom in/out was not as smooth. But people act like iOS never stutters; never freezes; apps never get hung up or that the phone never completely crashes. That's just not the case. iOS isn't perfect, why do we expect Android to be--especially when it has more going on?
And fragmentation? Well, that doesn't really matter when talking about one singular device....as long as it gets updates (that are relevant). Not to mention, iOS is fragmented as well.
Oh, and go Tribe

Is "Siri 2.0" going to be a 'new' iPhone exlusive, or will the 4S get it as well?
I know.
It will have.....
Another old fashioned tiny low res qhd screen.
A years old outdated OS.
highly breakable housing.
No options to customize the device......
You forgot the /s
Thanks for playing...
The big deal is if your battery drains, your phone is dead, and you can't do anything.
Have fun with that big screen, widget using paper weight if you have no battery.
And every volt wasted on widgets means I get less time talking, texting, emailing, browsing, and listening to music. Those are real features that are critical to a postive user experience.
When I had an android phone, after 4 hours I was turning off widgets, 4G,and nearly all background processes, along with screen brightness, to keep my phone from dying.
My i4S lasts 8 hours and I do nothing to the settings. That's a real feature.
