October Release Date
Now that we are about half way through the iPhone 4S's lifecycle, it's safe to assume that the new iPhone 5 will be released in October of 2012. Rumor has it that the iPhone 5 will be the "mother of all upgrades". If that doesn't get you excited, what does!?

A Smaller Dock Connector
We're keeping our fingers crossed for a new design for the iPhone 5. A thinner, sleeker design could call for a smaller dock connector. This could potentially be a problem for those of you that have a bunch of chargers and accessories to fit the iPhone 4 or 4S, but maybe be worth it for a new design!

iPhone for T-Mobile?
If T-Mobile doesn't offer the iPhone, they could be in big trouble. The company has indicated that they are hurting. If the company can finally alter it's network to be compatible with the iPhone, they can offer the iPhone and possibly save their company!

4G LTE Fast!
The iPhone 5 will be a 4G LTE phone. This rumor is said to be "almost definite". What does this mean? It means the speed of your iPhone 5's internet connection could very well be faster than your home's broadband connection!

A New Look for the App Store
Because Apple just acquired Chomp, it is rumored that the App Store will get a little makeover. Chomp makes buying apps on your iPhone or iPad much easier. This would be great since there are tons of apps in the App Store!

A Smaller, Cheaper iPhone Nano?
Every year we hear rumors of a smaller iPhone. It's thought to be smaller and cheaper, like the iPod Nano. This year is no exception. It is thought that Apple needs a cheaper phone that will stand up against the budget-friendly Android phones.

.44 mm Thinner!
The iPhone 4S is pretty good-lookin', but at 9.3 mm it could stand to be a little thinner. It is competing with slimmer phones like HTC One (7.8 mm) and the Motorola Droid Razr (7.1 mm) which offer a thinner style. A thinner iPhone would just be a sexier iPhone!
7:
New and Better Processor
When the iPhone 4S was released, it was equipped with the same processor as the previously released, iPad 2. It is rumored that the iPhone 5 will have the same A5X processor found in the new iPad. This would mean a better all-around performance from the iPhone 5!
6:
A Better Touchscreen
Do you often find yourself cursing your iPhone 4 or 4S touchscreen? Well, lucky you, it's rumored that the iPhone 5 will include an updated and more responsive touchscreen! This will especially be true if there is a design change, as a thinner iPhone will call for a new touchscreen.
5:
A Larger Display
We were disappointed when we found out the iPhone 4S didn't have a larger display. It's rumored that the iPhone 5 will have the same size screen, but a larger, 4" display. Everyone loves a bigger display!

A Longer Lasting Battery
Please say this is not just a rumor! All iPhone users can agree, a longer battery life would be amazing. The iPhone 5 is rumored to have a flat battery making it more powerful and including the LTE (Long Term Evolution) feature. Fingers crossed!

A 3D System
It has been rumored that Apple has a patent revealing a 3D eye-tracking based interface. This patent would eliminate the use of 3D glasses. It could mean 3D effects for gaming and more!
2:
Sleek Unibody Case
We were expecting a new design with the iPhone 4S, but were disappointed. This means the probability for a new design in the iPhone 5 is high. The iPhone 5 is rumored to have a sleek Unibody case look to it. Keep your fingers crossed!

Liquid Metal
Back in 2010, Apple bought the rights to "Liquidmetal Technologies". This stuff is crazy. Not only will it make the iPhone, lighter, it will make it thinner! The "liquid metal" would replace the glass screen and it would feel incredibly smooth, yet still be very durable.
