iPhone 5 and iOS 6

Here are some things I think may be included in the iPhone 5 and iOS 6 and things I'd like;

iPhone 5
- All your standard enhancements; faster processor, more memory, better rear facing camera (higher megapixel, faster shutter response, enhanced flash), better front facing camera
- New look and redesign, judging by leaks back will be metallic and coloured black or white. Sleek unibody design?
- larger screen, rumours are it will be the same width but longer and have a 4-4.5 inch diagonal, I would be pleased for the size increase but if its larger and keeps the same number of pixels it won't be as good a retina display, if extra pixels are added with the increased height, then how will existing apps work, will they all have to be re-written for the new screen resolution, I guess we will here about this soon in order for us to update our apps
- Smaller dock connector, I've said this for a while, and leaked photos suggest this might be included.
- Movement of the earplugs port to the bottom, according to rumours
- NFC payments enabled (want)
- 4G data connectivity
- 128 GB space is unlikely as the iPad hasn't got that size yet
- There are rumours it'll be called the "new iPhone", noooo!

iOS 6
- Siri improvements, business search outside the US, use on the iPad (apparently designing the UI for the large screen has been a challenge)
- New beautiful mapping solution replacing Google Maps with photo realistic 3D view
- Turn by turn directions like a sat nav
- App enhancements, possibly to Track Friends, Cards, and maybe pretty up Photos (want), iTunes, iBooks, App Store
- New apps
- New widgets for notification centre, and developers able to create their own widgets
- Facebook integration - lots of rumours on this
- Do not disturb feature - allowing you to turn off notifications, alerts and sounds, different to airport mode as all network access would continue to work
- Sync Safari tabs across multiple devices
- VIP mail - allows you to prioritise mail from important contacts and will show up / be highlighted
- Improved multitasking interface (want), maybe fullscreen
