I don't mind the long screen, but if the screen were to stay 3.5 inches I wouldn't bother. Luckily all the rumours point to that not happening.

I don't really care about LTE since I live in the UK.

If they increase the price I might not buy straight away since I'd need to save a little more. Assuming it's around £500 I should be fine though.

Other than that I can't think of anything really. iPhone 4 -> iPhone 5 should be a nice jump. The 4 is getting a bit slow in its old age and my home button's ****ed.
 
I love my iPhone but HATE that it cannot multitask on Sprint. On my Evo I could talk on the phone, use the GPS, and send a text message all at once. Can't combine call time with any other data feature on the Sprint iPhone.

Yeah, it's a limitation of Qualcom's version of CDMA that Sprint and Verizon and U.S. Cellular use. I assume that LTE doesn't have that limitation, but it'll probably be 5-10 years before there's a really universe LTE build-out, considering AT&T and T-Mobile still don't even have 3G most places.

The iPhone 6 will almost certainly have LTE though, just since it's a "bullet point" feature that I doubt they'd launch their new phone without.

I should mention too that TomTom's awesome GPS/map/navigation program doesn't need data. It's handy for things like letting you Google a destination from within the program (though you can enter addresses manually or select one of your contacts too), but it works fine without a data connection.

Out of curiosity, what is the UK using or planning on switching to?

By 5 do you mean the 6th iPhone? And by 4 do you mean the 4th? Not the 5 (i.e. 4s)?

The jump from the 4 to the 5 is fairly gigantic. The 5 has more than 2x the CPU and GPU power. The 6 will most likely just use the same CPU and GPU, but be clock bumped a bit, probably to 1GHz (maybe MAYBE to 1.2 or something like that, but probably just 25% faster). So if you're saying you have a 5 and want faster, the 6 won't be much better. The jump from a 4 to a 6 will be pretty huge though. I'm guessing the 6 will have 1GB too, which should help speed things up also.

Right now we have HSPDA, we will get LTE next year but only on T-Mobile and Orange. That will use the 1800MHz bands. The other networks (including the one I use) will get LTE around a year after next IIRC, but they may use different bands. So right now it's not a concern for me.

Yes, I mean the upcoming iPhone, and at the moment I have an iPhone 4.

Good to hear, my iPhone 4 is very laggy. I might just restore it and use it with only a minimal number of apps until I get the iPhone 5 actually. But then I'm pretty much using my HTC as my main phone right now anyway.
