DjShadow: I believe they need to think past just souping up an iPhone 5 and shoving an "S" on the end of the name
I been following the rumour sites and the most common themes I'm seeing is the launch of a cheaper (plastic) version. Also seen talk of a chipset that will support all the LTE bands
Got an iPhone 4 but needs to be something pretty good to get me to upgrade, I have my fingers crossed for a bigger screen

Handsomedan:
I am not that interested in the 5S, as for me the extra features (as per the rumours) of a larger camera and fingerprint scanner simply don't do it for me.
I am looking forward to refreshing my iPhone 5 with iOS 7... that's the biggest new feature that interests me.
A plastic iPhone is a great idea, but again - of no real consequence for me.
I'd like to see a 4.3" iPhone 6, with retina display & 128gb of storage. It's my primary music and entertainment device.
jarledb: The finger print scanner (if it will be added) would give an easier way to have a more secure phone. Having to use a pin code every time you pick up your phone gets old fast so a lot of people don't secure their phones.
With more and more services being available through the phones, that is a security risk that would be helped by an easier way to authenticate the right user.
tdgeek: I'm not much into FB although I do use it on and off on my iPhone, what are the issues? I haven't noticed anything, not that I am much of an expert with FB
jonherries: People have been talking about mobile payments for some time with Apple, esp. around the lack of NFC. I think they might be looking at mobile payments, maybe using the fingerprint as authentication.
NZtechfreak: I hope Apple has more up their sleeve than a 5S, as others have said I think it would be bad timing to present only an incremental upgrade in the face of the competition they are up against.
Regards a finger print scanner, who knows. Been done before and wasn't well received then, but Apple has a good track record of doing old things well and making them seem new and shiny, so could happen.
All comments are my own opinion, and not that of my employer unless explicitly stated.

The Galaxy S4 was only an incremental update so Apple can likely get away with it.

I'm really keen on mobile payment technology but the reality is that Apple's implementation would probably involve some proprietry platform that ends up with widespread usage only in the US. When I went to the launch of Snapper's mobile NFC service about a year ago I remember one of the presenters commenting that Apple would probably be awkward to work with if/when they include NFC hardware in the iPhone.
