Kinda, I'm not real sure what I'd do with another row of icons. Folders really takes care of my need for more on one screen. The faster chip would be nice, plus the upgraded ram. I don't have AT&T lte here, don't really want to go to Verizon just for that. I would like a larger screen, but maybe the option to put something more useful on it as well? Widget like items? The FaceTime would be eh, I've used it more than I thought I would, but still kinda on the fence about it. Battery time would be a big thing honestly, MAYBE that would be enough on its own. The reality is I'll probably get one anyway lol.

The current iPhone is thin enough for me so having it be thinner is not a concern for me.
The 4 inch display is appealing but not a deal breaker and the extra row of icons is a non-issue.4-inch screen (Retina display, 640 x 1136, 30% increase, 5 rows of icons)
Nice specs but my 4S is plenty fast for me. As for LTE, we will have to wait & see. Faster is always better in technology, however. The HD front facing camera is desirable, but again, not a deal breaker for me because I don't FaceTime a great deal.Dual-core A5X chip (1 GHz CPU, 1 GB RAM)
4G LTE (AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint)
FaceTime HD (1.3MP front camera)
I could care less for thisGroup chat (FaceTime with up four iOS devices/Macs)
I'm definitely looking forward to these.iOS 6 (Siri and Maps)

Longer battery life, improved mic & speaker are a plus, but the smaller dock connector & nano sim are not a concern at this time.Better battery (9 hours talk time)

The 4s is plenty fir me at this time. I just don't see me upgrading for iOS6 and some things I won't truly use (like NFC). As for battery life, I've got a Mophie Juice Pack Plus for that.

I'm more worried about battery life. 4" screen plus lte and dual core(most likely) is plenty. Don't care how thin it is put a larger battery in.

I'm mostly looking for a better, longer life battery and LTE. I live in Pittsburgh, which is one of Verizon's LTE markets, and would love to give it a try. I feel like if Apple is going to release a 4 inch LTE iPhone, they are going to do it right. I doubt battery life would suffer. If anything I think it will improve. Here's to hoping for "Razr Maxx" battery life!!

The internals sound good but aren't we all tired of the same rehashed design?
I want a larger screen.
Never used FaceTime (on purpose).
Google's Map App will be better than Apple's (I think) - As they can push updates as needed.
Battery life is good. (Some of you spend way too much time on Facebook)
4G LTE will be nice if I have it in my are. (Currently have ATT and Verizon shows I live on the edge of LTE. Switching regardless as ATT does not cover my area... just moved.)
Matte finish on the back would be super cool. Be able to grip it and sport it without a case.

The only other thing I would want (but will never ever have) is an expandable memory.

My main concern is how existing apps will work.

I'm surprised no one said anything about the rear-facing camera......

The interesting thing about the 7.6mm thickness is its thinner than the GS3 and I have actually held that phone, its pretty friggin thin. I am concerned its too thin and yet the rumored pics don't seem to indicate its really that thin.
At any rate I would like to see a bump on the FFC to 2.0MP or better. The extra row of icons is helpful since it looks like we could get more apps into a single folder which is really nice.
