LED light would make a very, very negligible difference in battery life...
if a larger screen means loss of battery and retina display then HELL.NO.
In thinking more about your comment here, I do not think increasing the screen size from the current 3.5" to say 4" would have a tremendous impact in the battery life. All of my Androids screens were 4" or more and I was able to get 6 hours of full use and 12 - 18 hours of standby time, which is exactly the amount of time that I get now with my jailbroken iPhone 4. Don't forget that you can always decrease the screens brightness and set the timeout a little sooner to help conserve the battery life.

I would guess that it takes power for it to continuously flash and therefore would have an impact on the battery life. Maybe not much, but it does to some extent.

The LED would have zero impact on battery life if you disabled it.
I never had a Android that could get more than 3-3.5 hours of usage on battery life. You getting 6 hours is iPhone 4 type of usage.
I did a few things differently on my Androids than my iPhone 4 that helped. I knew getting an Android that I would not have good battery life, so I never had my email pushed to my Androids like I do on my iPhone. Also, I always killed everything that running in the background on the Android. Another thing I did was keep the screens brightness to just the right viewing but nothing higher. With my iPhone I can keep the screens brightness higher without having to worry too much. I think the fact that I did those things on my Android was the reason I got that kind of battery life. My iPhone gets a lot more standby time than my Androids did.

I would keep brightness at 50-60% and I always killed everything too. A very good day was me getting 3.5 hours. And that was a excellent day lol
I kept my screen at less than 50%. Did you have your email pushed to your Android, or did you check it via the browser the way I did? From what I hear, when a phone is constantly checking for and pushing mail it does have a significant drain on the battery life. To tell you the truth I never thought 6 hours of use was great considering I wasn't seeing the same standby times that I was getting on my iPhone. With Andriid I always needed to charge them 2 or 3 hours after I finished work.

Can't believe the hostility in here towards the Apple employee. It's disappointing Weren't we taught to not be tattle-tales in like, elementary school? So what if the person speculated when they shouldn't have... it's such a minor offense, I can't believe you'd whip out the pitchforks for something so small.
Anyway... December would SUCK!!! I don't believe it just on the fact that it'd be dumb. November would be better than December... December is really late, especially during Christmas season. A lot of people will have made all of their xmas purchases by then... makes no sense.
I still stand by my original prediction of September... willing to go September announcement, October release, but only because my birthday is in October and that'd be pretty sweet
