This is it?

Apple plays safe. Looks kind of real considering the hints leaked the last days (4" screen, front cover)

The iPod icon is out of date.

I am aware this is most likely a fake, but I like the 16:9-ratio – that would be a smart move!

No way. Changing aspect ratio would add fragmentation to apps development. The lack of it is one of the advantages over android.

Also Aple would never emphasize low level hw specs like memory. How much my iPhone has? Have no idea... It has "enough" ;)

I have serious doubts that this is an actual press photo, but don't rule out an aspect ratio change. If the display height (and only the height) changes, this won't result in the same type of fragmentation you see on Android. This is because iOS apps must already accomodate changes in vertical dimension. Gruber makes these same points in a relevant piece:
