What We Want From the Apple iPhone 5
Since the launch of the original iPhone, smartphones have evolved and screens have gotten inevitably bigger.
For example, Samsung's best-selling Galaxy S2 handset comes touting a crowd-pleasing 4.
3-inch touchscreen, along with the HTC Sensation and the ZTE Skate - each offering a more multimedia friendly alternative to Apple's Retina Display.
Whether it comes in at 3.
7 or 4-inches, iPhone users are pining for a larger screen, which would no doubt offer-up a better browsing experience and would make typing onscreen much less fiddly.
What we don't need, however, is a 3D screen.
Although the LG Optimus 3D and HTC EVO 3D have made it to market, there's still a lack of 3D content to make the most of the expensive technology.
Not to mention a the fact that a stereoscopic screen is likely to make you dizzy after 30 minutes of using.
We may not be hoping for 3D stereoscopic cameras, but a market-leading camera is another must-have feature for the Apple iPhone 5.
Although the iPhone 4's 5 megapixel camera is my no means poor, it's overshadowed by its Android rivals, where 8 megapixel efforts seem to come as standard.
If the ongoing rumours are anything to go by, we can start to get excited about seeing Sony's 8.
1 megapixel Exmor R sensor on the back of the next-gen Apple smartphone.
With Apple's main rivals touting speedy dual-core processors, dual core power is another must-have feature.
With Apple's A5 chipset onboard - which made its debut on the iPad 2 earlier this year - the next-gen iPhone would be much more suited to hardcore gaming and video streaming.
This would also make way for 1080p HD video capture at 30 frames-per-second, too - hopefully using that 8 megapixel rear-facing camera.
While it's looking likely that we'll see a dual-core processor, it's less unlikely that we'll see microSD support - one of the most sought after features from iDevice users.
However, there is speculation that the iPhone 5 will be available in a 64GB version, offering up that much-sought after additional storage.
There's no doubting, iPhone users have a long want list, host to a bunch of features they'd like to see onboard.
However, with Samsung claiming that it's Galaxy S2 is the thinnest mobile phone available on the planet - everyone's hoping for a more-svelte iPhone 5, too.
If the transition between the iPad and the iPad 2 is anything to go by, Apple will no doubt shave off a few grams here and there.
We know what we want to see, but we still don't know when we're going to see it.
Apple are notoriously keeping quite on the handset's launch date, although all fingers are currently pointing towards a mid-September release.
