I too agree that 5 was not really great just faster processor, a lick of paint etc etc...
Would love it if it had a longer battery life. My z1 can last me a two full day on moderate use. Anything like that is a plus. My previous ip5 cant last me one bus ride to london

i get 2 days moderate use from my iphone 5s. Much better than my 4s. Even with pretty heavy use, it last a day and then i charge it when i get home.
Prototypes are usually freaks of nature. The dual flash from the 5S should be implemented on the 6, but they might still be working on a finalised design for it, hence why another bit has just been stuck into that case. Either that or fake.

Seems like a lot more is going on in iOS8 as well too now, lots of iCould sync, bluetooth LE usage, bigger screen, rumour of it being thinner. Not sure how it well all play out, but battery life is the most important feature now.

Rumours of it being thinner are extremely annoying, as more battery is really a great plus.
Even if they bundled it in the box, who wants some stupid clunky connector on the bottom of their phone that they also have to carry around on their person just to use headphones?
I thought we had moved past that crap, it's something i'd expect from Sony in the 90's.

They're probably not going to remove the headphone connector as it's a standard port, and making everyone require an adapter would cause mayhem. Plus, you'd have to choose between charging/syncing/listening to music through headphones. Another no no.

What if it could be thin and have more battery capacity?

Won't happen as this would require the phone to be considerably thicker than all the leaks suggest.
The headphone jack is ancient technology. If Apple want to get rid of it, they will do and not listen to outcries from Joe Public. Just as they did with floppy discs and CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays.
I don't know much about Bluetooth but why not just use that for headphones? Or maybe they'll include two lightning ports as the phones are now getting wider.

It has to have more battery due to the screen size increase, but my point is getting thinner then the iPhone 5/5s is not going to bring any meaningful gain, and they could spend that on even more battery.
Theres seems to be a lot more going on in iOS8, it tracks you a lot more so it can have some apps ready when you need it e.g. when you go into a Starbucks. Huge increase is the amount of sync'ing that is going on with iCloud and so on. Its all going to mean the iPhone 6 as a baseline will need more battery in stand by, and then you add a bigger screen and so on.
I guess will see what happens but I would rather be push towards 2 days battery life, then just bearing making it 1 day.
