Apple’s going to roll out the big guns. And the features of the new phone are entirely up in the air.

Mashable <a href="http://mashable.com/2011/09/30/iphone-5-features/">asked its readers</a> which features are must-haves, by choosing the one upgrade feature they’d choose if they could only have one. Bigger screen and 4G were the top responses by a wide margin. Of the nearly 11,000 votes cast, more than 2,200 want the high-speed mobile broadband option. They made this choice despite the fact battery-draining 4G could have a negative effect on the iPhone battery life, which some complained about in the comments.

Likewise, a bigger screen, which could also consume more battery life, registered more than 2,600 votes. Interestingly, a higher resolution screen received the least amount of votes (313), indicating few want the iPhone 5’s icons and on-screen text to get any smaller or any less readable, even if iPhone owners end up with more screen real-estate.

Also high on the list are an 8-megapixel camera (over 1,100 votes), more memory and storage (915 votes)  and a thinner body (1080). Some respondents expressed their desire for the rumored tear-drop-shaped design in the comments. 

Sprint availability (which is expected), 1080p video recording, voice recognition and an NFC chip for digital credit card shopping all finished in the middle. The fact Sprint is not at the top of consumers' wish list is somewhat surprising. When the iPhone was only available on AT&T, Verizon availability was frequently the number one request for the next iPhone. These days, the iPhone is on both AT&T and Verizon.  All carriers, including Sprint, offer access to a wide variety of touchscreen phones, many of which run Google’s Android mobile OS.

The unveiling is just hours away, and you can follow along on our live blog, starting at approximately 12:30 ET.  Let us know what you're most excited about in the comments

      <p>Polish students designed this beauty, going with the curved back look. Found on <a href="http://www.veterangeek.com/mobile/iphone-5-ipad-3-in-pictures/" >VeteranGeek</a>.</p>      <br/>

      <p>This early mockup extrapolates from the current iPhone 4 design. It's a clean design -- one we'd be happy to slip into a pocket. Found on the German <a href="http://www.iphone-news.org/2010/12/16/mockup-iphone-5-mit-4g-16722/" >iPhone News Blog</a>.</p>      <br/>
      <h4>Nowhere Else</h4>

      <p>Those talented French artists at <a href="http://www.nowhereelse.fr/iphone-5-43523/" ><em>Nowhere Else</em></a> envision the iPhone 5 having a rounded back, and accompanied this attractive illustration with an <a href="http://mashable.com/2011/04/02/iphone-5-rumors-3/" >entire infographic full of iPhone 5 rumors</a> and speculation. </p>      <br/>

      <p>On the left is allegedly the iPhone 5 in the hands of someone testing it on a train, and the white phone is allegedly the iPhone 4S, all found by <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2011/07/28/have-we-found-the-iphone-5/" >9-to-5 Mac</a>.</p>      <br/>

      <h4>Antonello Falcon</h4>
      <br/>
              <a href="http://mashable.com/2011/10/03/iphone-5-wish-list-starts-with-4g-and-bigger-screen/#27815Antonello-Falcon"><img width="400" style="border:none;" title="Antonello Falcon" src="http://5.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/iphone-5-mockups/size-zero-iphone-5--This-is-conceptualized-by-Antonello-Falcon.-It-features-a-4.6-inch-display-with-curved-glass-edges,-in-a-thin-(8.4mm),-yet-longer-form-factor-and-a-soft-touch-home-button..jpg" /></a><br/><br/>
      <p>Called the "Size Zero iPhone 5," Antonello Falcon's flight of fancy has a 4.6-inch screen, curved glass edges, a thin 8.4mm cross-section and a soft-touch Home button. Perhaps this is more akin to an iPhone 6. Found on <a href="http://www.veterangeek.com/mobile/iphone-5-ipad-3-in-pictures/" >VeteranGeek</a>.</p>      <br/>
      <h4>This is My Next</h4>

      <p>This mockup from <a href="http://thisismynext.com/" >ThisIsMyNext</a> has been floating around for a while, but it latched on early to the teardrop-shaped cross-section and larger screen.</p>      <br/>

      <p>Called the "Glossy iPhone 5," this ultra-lightweight design features a plastic cover. <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Cn9F9KaHSKs/TbKBIexve-I/AAAAAAAAAIo/ykp44wp4Ork/s1600/iPhone+5+CONCEPT.png" >Here's Roman's website</a>.</p>      <br/>

      <p>From <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2011/08/10/this-could-be-what-apples-iphone-5-looks-like/" >MacRumors</a>, this design echos the iPhone 4, but thinner.</p>      <br/>

      <br/>
              <a href="http://mashable.com/2011/10/03/iphone-5-wish-list-starts-with-4g-and-bigger-screen/#27785Piotr-Spalek"><img width="400" style="border:none;" title="Piotr Spalek" src="http://8.mshcdn.com/wp-content/gallery/iphone-5-mockups/Iphone-5-mockup.jpg" /></a><br/><br/>
      <p>When iDeals China leaked a shot of a 4-inch screen that was alleged to belong to an iPhone 5, Polish designer <a href="http://www.piotrek.it/" >Piotr Spalek</a> put together a mockup that matched up with the screen.</p>
