20% lighter - because that was a big problem lugging around that heavy iphone 4.

slimmer - because that thick fat iphone 4 taking up way too much room in my pocket

faster - because my iphone 4 is too slow?

what I'd upgrade for: screen that is readable in direct sunlight or when wearing polarized sunglasses, camera that takes picture the instant I touch the button, better phone reception

20% lighter – Without exception, my $20 t-shirts wear out by failure of the fabric at the upper righthand corner of the pocket[1]. I get a little hole from keeping my iPhone in there. 20% lighter might save me a few t-shirts a year.

camera that takes picture the instant I touch the button – sounds like you want the 40% faster image capture time.

readable in direct sunlight or when wearing polarized sunglasses – yeah, me too. Still waiting on OLED to beat LCD.

EOM

[1] that wouldn't stop me from wearing them, but as soon as my wife sees the hole the shirt vanishes.

I think they said it now takes photos 40% faster (or so) than 4S. And that takes photos much faster than my 4.
