On the software side, iOS 6 is what it is - the pace of change on the platform has slowed to evolutionary rather than revolutionary (which is fair, it has it's pros and cons, and they have a huge base of apps to consider in terms of compatibility)
It's going to be a great iOS device, and a great phone generally (they all have been) without doubt, but fundamentally you're looking at another iOS device that will work the same as your current iPhone, running the same apps you chose and love on your previous iPhone, once the new form factor novelty wears off.
I could be completely wrong of course, but I think its best to temper expectations - Apple traditionally moves the goal line forward incrementally, with only occasional bursts of massive innovation (the original iPhone, the iPad 1, etc)

Couldn't agree more. When people say they are expecting big things, I often wonder what they want.
Flash is essentially on life support and 99% of sites worth a damn don't use it. Screen size is a personal preference. Passbook seems to be their answer to purchasing goods and services. The camera in the 4S is amazing, so an incremental upgrade there, but you can only go so far before your images are all 6mb. I just don't know what's left to add.
