How did my iPhone predictions go?

- All your standard enhancements; faster processor, more memory, better rear facing camera (higher megapixel, faster shutter response, enhanced flash), better front facing camera -> Pretty much all this happened 1/1
- New look and redesign, judging by leaks back will be metallic and coloured black or white. Sleek unibody design? -> Yep, got that one right 2/2
- 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 -> Yep this happened 3/3
- Smaller dock connector, I've said this for a while, and leaked photos suggest this might be included. -> Yep my prediction finally came true... 4/4
- Movement of the earplugs port to the bottom, according to rumours -> Oh dear I predicted this right... 5/5
- NFC payments enabled (want) -> Unsurprisingly this didn't happen :-( 5/6
- 4G data connectivity -> Yep 4G/LTE happened 6/7
- 128 GB space is unlikely as the iPad hasn't got that size yet -> Nope this didn't happen either 6/8
- There are rumours it'll be called the "new iPhone", noooo! -> Thankfully they kept the numeric nomenclature, phew! 6/9

So how did I do; 6/9 correct or 67% not bad :-)
