New iPhone, new iPods (no doubt)…probably some other new stuff.

iPad mini - probably not?

They didn't really introduce a new iPod last time. At the last meeting, we got a new colour and I think that's about as far as Apple is going to go with the iPod Touch line for a while.

Not into iPods that much. I still have my silver 2nd Gen iPod nano, my first get 1pod Touch, and also an iPhone that I use as music player sometimes.

I'm thinking about getting a new Nano or something.

Still waiting on the elusive iPad Mini, and the new iPhone.

I was looking forward to a next-gen (updated) iPod touch to replace my 4th gen…since I won't be getting any iPhone for a while (long, long while). This should be an interesting event.

What is the one NEW feature on the iPhone 5 that will cause folks with the iPhone 4 to switch after a year?

I'll be in the market to replace my 4 year old BB STORM and up until I've been leaning towards an ANDROID with at least. 4.7" screen, so the new iPhone could be a contender for my hard earned $$$$.

Too many...
For some reason, I have completely lost interest in upgrading to a new iPhone. I always got a new iPhone when the newest gen came out(usually on release day). However, this leaked iPhone5, which seems to be too complicated to be a fake, just hasn't got me interested.

Aye I kind of agree. The leaked photos kind of ruined any element of surprise for me. I'm still on the fence whether or not to get the new iPhone. I think I want to see what it has to offer first before passing any judgements. :D

That could be a possibility.

4G LTE?

Larger screen?

Quad core processor?

The ability to grant 3 wishes?

The ability to choose "any" carrier you want would be nice.

If only on the last one. :D I like the other stuff that you listed though. I think I hang out with too many Android phone people cause I'm not going to lie...I get screen envy from time to time. >_<"

The entire US wireless carrier needs a huge overhaul before that will happen.
