With all the hype around the iPhone 5 people's imaginations are starting to run wild. The Internet is full of enough "what if" and "What we want" articles to fill up the memories of a truck load of iPhone 5s.

Here are the 5 most credible rumors around the Internet and the 5 most wanted features that we don't think we'll see.

What to expect:

Bigger Screen

Most rumors put the next iPhone screen at around 4". With the iPhone's biggest competitor, DROID BIONIC, having a 4.2" screen, Apple isn't likely to fall behind.

iCloud

The iCloud is Apple's online storage service that automatically pushes content from one device to the next. The service has been in beta for a while now and will be likely to debut with the release of the new version of iTunes, which is in beta 9. The service will give anyone with an iOS 5 device 5GB of free storage to put whatever movies or music users want. More storage will be available for a price, however a business model hasn't been revealed by Apple.

A Better Camera

An 8-megapixel camera is sure to come with the new iPhone 5. The iPhone 4 has a 5-megapixel camera with 720p video recording and the BIONIC already has its own 8-megapixel camera. The iPhone 5 is defiantly due for a camera upgrade.

Voice Control

The Assistant voice control is also another big rumor surrounding the iPhone. Though the iPhone 4 already has a voice command system, the new iOS 5's voice command system should be even more robust and be much more integrated with the phone's apps. Users should be able to send texts or make entries in their calendar for starters.

A Faster iPhone5

Most agree that iPhone 5 will have 1 GB of RAM (about twice as much as the iPhone4) and an Apple A5 dual-core processor. This is sure to make the iPhone 5 one of the fasted handheld devices around.

Though we would really like to see most of these upcoming features they are either too costly or still on the drawing board for Apple. Here is what not to expect:
