I actually don't care how much it weighs in the slightest. Oh, and it needs to have a sapphire screen; Gorilla Glass just isn't strong enough.

If you are - tune in to your favorite tech blog (like this http://live.theverge.com/apple-iphone-5s-liveblog/) at 1:00PM EST to see a reveal of slightly upgraded (slightly improved camera, slightly faster internals, fingerprint reader) iPhone 5 and a slightly reskinned (with few minor features) iOS 6! I know I will be watching it, from my iPad or from my MacBook.

Bad troll, try again.

The whole concept of a "cheap" iPhone is just flamebait

Yes they do. It is called "HTC One Max". There is no planned date of release yet. It may not have IR blaster, though, at least it was not confirmed yet.
