IMHO, the iPhone5 should have been targeting what Jobs does best: user experience.

Apple stated that people are doing everything wireless nowadays. Thus, why bother with a new connector and new sim? I would have gone fully wireless with inductive charging/syncing. The technology needed already exist for this very specific purpose on a mass-production level.

If I were to design the iPhone5 from ground up, I'd keep pretty much most of the iPhone4S, upgrade the processor a bit, perhaps same screen size but fully wireless: inductive charging, transferjet and NFC (a bit optional given the overlap with transferjet).

This would be something truly revolutionary. A first true wireless smartphone. This is something that sounds extremely awesome technologically and marketing-wise, all while opening countless new possibilities in accessories, functionalities and app design.

Sadly, Apple chose the other way: play safe and stick to what isn't broken.
