I must admit that it would still take a larger screen for me to invest in another iPhone, no matter how good iOS 7 turns out to be.

I'm curious to the choices Apple opens up in iOS7, if any. Now would be the perfect time to allow changing default apps. At the very least, allow browser, email and maps for changing defaults.
I think iOS is still going to be the same design when it comes down to having home screens just being rows of icons. Maybe the default icons will see a complete revamp. And maybe they will tidy up the menus, but I don't see nothing drastic happening.
IMO it will all depend on two or three features(with always one exclusive to the latest phone) that they are known for pushing out. I have a strong feeling Apple just might include a translator similar to what Samsung just did and they will defiantly add more options in their camera software.

This is a brilliant concept of iOS7 ....... http://appadvice.com/appnn/2013/01/a-brilliant-ios-7-concept-and-video
I'm interested to see what the underdogs will come up with. I'm keeping a close eye on Nokia and BlackBerry. My actual next phone will probably be an S4 (up from an iPhone 4) but I like trying new stuff and it's the underdog companies that are really innovating.
BB10 especially is of interest to me because of the gesture based interface. I liked that a lot in webOS so it's good to see it come back into modern smartphones. I wouldn't buy a BlackBerry today but I'm anticipating new interesting things from them in the future. I also hope they do a better job running Android apps on their OS in the future because that's a very important feature to gain marketshare and, well, actual app support.
The main issue I have with both BB10 and WP8 is the serious lack of customisation. Android is the only OS out there you can really make yours, the others just aren't competing in that aspect, which is a shame. Plus I'm guessing you won't ever be able to root BB10 with its emphasis on super security, which for a power user like me is a big letdown.
It's a shame because I want to try out new systems and I'm beginning to dislike Google these days, but the only mobile OS that really caters to my power user needs is Android. Maybe Ubuntu's new mobile OS will open up more possibilities in that area, only time will tell.
