Recently I heard my people are talking about the release of iphone 5. There are rumors that the incoming iphone 5 may have the following new features:
1. LTE Connectivity
2. NFC (including the iWallet, and iTunes Gifting)
3. Crack-proof Glass
4. 3D Photography
5. Multiplayer Gaming
6. Audio Sharing Network
7. Advanced Haptics
8. The Photographer’s Timer
What are your expectations? Why?
Welcome to share your opinion!

Why don't you just wait until tomorrow when it's announced instead of speculation and rumors?

Way... way too many specs to list.
3d photography? The form factor will have to be too small.

The most accurate assumption, and what is expected from the iPhone5: It will sell like hot cakes.

I can do you one better. I have it on good authority that the iPhone 5 will...wait for it...make phone calls.

HaOOOOOOO!

Tell me about it. Since switching back to ATT here in NYC, I've had the absolute worst service (iP4). Luckily, we have retained our Sprint account (I dropped one of the lines) and I will either be getting an iPhone 5 or perhaps even a Galaxy s3 or Nexus (depending upon today's announcement) and putting it on the Sprint line and taking that over. My wife can have the ATT line, since she doesn't use the phone for heavy data use.

Seriously, in my very spacious apartment, even right next to a window I'm getting horrendous signal strength. Right now, it's at -105dB's next to the window it is between -89 and -103. But of course that translates to between 3-4 bars, so ATT can claim "more bars in more places" PULEEZE pffffft.

Jimmy Kimmel had the funniest quote to date that I've heard:

"Those of you who own the current iPhone should be relishing the last few hours that they are cool."
