What will be the killer feature on iPhone 5S or 6 that other iPhones wont have.

I really want some kind of biometric identification, and am not talking about silly finger scanner, so IT KNOWS it's me who just picked up the phone, no more silly swapping and passwords, while maintaining the phone case slick. So yes a non-visible sensor am talking about.
So as to something other phones don't have... it won't be hardware, everyone else has different and bigger screen sizes, cameras, batteries. Its hard to imagine iPhone 5s with better hardware specs.
Maybe the next iPhone will be unbreakable? That would be awesome.
It will have to be better/unique via software. Right now it seems like it's just catching up on some android features (like quick access to settings, google now).
Would like to see siri get faster, more instant. Would love to see better integration with OS X.
To me the HTC One is what the iPhone 5 should of been. I want front facing speakers and better speakerphone performance. Don't knock it till you hear the HTC One in person!

funny thing about that, the speakers on HTC One are actually louder than on my notebook lol
You do realise that Android isn't a phone?

Too all you people hoping for a bigger display have only yourselves to blame when you start throwing your toys out the pram when its released.
iOS7 according to Apple, however until I get the final release on my IP5 and see what it can do, and Android device with ICS or JB has a decent OS, anything older than ICS really stinks in my eyes
the same advances and minuscule changes that others have had that weren't available prior? you can seamlessly move between phones, and operation is smooth and intuitive. realize it or not, it takes constant refinement and innovation to keep up something like that and maintain the freshness.
oh and i would be very, very disappointed if the iphone suddenly became too large to use with just one hand.

There won't be a killer feature. Ios 7 was announced,did you get any great things coming from there? Nope,all you people that are looking for something killer or super shouldn't have an iPhone because you are not going to get it. You wait yearly for upgrades which come and they are incremental ,to say the least. Ios 7 coming in the fall,and still behind android,really,this is what people stay around for? Android ,by far isn't perfect,but way ahead of ios and runs as smooth or smoother now than ever. Just my opinion.....
Sadly, it won't be a screen you can see outdoors in bright sunlight.
get an antiglare screen protector, works wonders for outdoor sunlight.
Some useless feature which the elder generations magically can not support because some antenna or chip change, LOL
Ah
You can turn Siri into JARVIS, the personal assistant that helps Tony Stark in the Iron Man movies.

I don't think I'm creative enough to imagine what it will be. However Apple hasn't added addition hardware to an S model so I imagine they will keep that trend.
I'm thinking there will be some additional piece of software that is exclusive to the 5S. Plus your usual hardware upgrades (processor, GPU, etc).
I've yet to be able to guess what Apple does with their software each year. So I'm not surprised I can't see what they would do this year.

Perhaps, but I like my handset to be a phone first, and a media device second. As long as it's called the iPhone the 4inch model will always be the primary device. The moment we get an iPhablet, the iPad becomes obsolete. Which market do you think is bigger at the moment, tablets or phablets?

i think this 'cheap' iphone we keep hearing about will be in fact an iPhone with a larger display.
As SJism23 mentioned. Start looking elsewhere. iPhone 5S will have the same form factor. iPhone 6 will to, but with a smaller bezel that will allow Apple to increase the screen of the phone a tad bigger. I like the form factor today.
We get these wider complaints all the time, but Apple is not like Samsung and some others. They do it there way which is how I like it.
