Download speeds and camera response speeds aren't really tech specs. It's the difference between the gigahertz of your process vs. how fast you can launch an app. One is a spec, the other is a measurement. One gives the user an idea of what the experience will be.
Even if we accept your argument about what is a spec and what is not, the download numbers seem obviously cooked and don't reflect actual speeds experienced by users but theoretical limits that your are unlikely to ever see for various reasons.
And I've read that people are having trouble replicating the photo speed numbers, so we'll have to see exactly what circumstances lead to these numbers. Apple's benchmarks have never been very fair (not that they're alone in that as far as marketing goes) so I'd rather see independent confirmation before taking anything they say in a keynote as gospel.
