Reading this, my guess is they will be replacing the physical home button with
screen area. They may also have found a way to put the top speaker (but what
about camera & sensors??) under the display somehow. Any way, I hope the next
iPhone won't be much taller itself.

This is a great guess that makes a hell of a lot of sense to me. A simple
elongation of the phone really doesn't fit in any mental model I have of
Apple's design decisions.

Why do you say that? It makes sense to me.

Apple just isn't into changing stuff like that for changes' sake. Here, there
is very little downside. You get more screen space for lists and pages in
portrait, proper 16:9 in landscape, your thumb doesn't have do do more work or
travelling, and UI elements aren't blown up or shrunk, all while satisfying
the public's demand for a bigger screen.

Seems pretty perfect to me, and moreover it is already set in stone. We've
seen the iPhone 5, it's the two tone metal casing design that's floating
around. It'll be longer, the glass parts make that clear.

Assuming otherwise is just hoping blindly against the evidence. Every time
there has been a big leak like this regarding Apple, it ends up proving to be
the final design. Happened with the fat Nano, happened with the iPhone 4 and
it has happened again with the 5.

Potentially-silly question: the iOS simulator is x86, not ARM, and therefore
cannot install App Store applications. Where did the Pinterest, Wolfram Alpha,
etc. apps in these screenshots come from?

Are these included by default in iOS 6? (_And_ in the simulator?)

They could be Web Apps installed to the home screen.

In fact, unless Apple has an app now, I'm fairly certain they are.
