I don't think it's ever to early for this type of thread, so here it goes. Does anyone think the iPhone 5 will have a nfc chip? I think the iPhone 5 will have the following..

Hardware:

*Plastic, maybe aluminum.
*Bigger Screen (hopefully)
*Faster Processor
*Retina Display
*NFC chip? Doubtful..

Software:

*Notifications...I hope to God for notifications.
*iTunes Steaming?
*Wireless Syncing?


What are your wants/desires/predictions for iPhone 5 and iOS 5?

I do think it will have nfc built in. I can't see apple allowing google to get the better of them there.

All sound pretty good. Not many like the larger screen but I do. 3.5" is just small. I don't think we will go back to a plastic design. Same design as we have now. (till iPhone 6)


Notifications in iOS 5 will need to be improved. One of the great things in andoid is you just swipe the status bar down and see everything you need rather little badges or purple pop ups (that can get annoying if your doing something). The badges are especially bad if you glance down and see "10" over a folder. Well what is it? 10 new mails? 8 new mails and 3 new voicemails?


as for streaming, that won't come till September with an iOs 5.1 update in fall 2011.

I do hope for some design change to iOS 5, but nothing over the top. Widgets are a big thing and if you add it to the iPad, your pretty much taking advantage of the screen.

I doubt they will increase the size of the screen.

Cheese grater...maybe a small betta fish. Also...maybe a file system and access to it without a JB.

The screen size is perfect. Some of these giant screened phones are just stupid.

Maybe I'm a total idiot but...nfc? Aside from football, not sure what that is.

Here's some speculation, though: Apple acquired that liquid metal company a while back. Would not doubt if that technology made it into the next iPhone.

I like the screen size that it is now (though I have a 3GS, not a 4). I don't want a screen that makes the phone too big to carry in a pocket or belt holster. Some of those Android phones make the old Moto brick phones seem ultra portable...

[ChrisGonzales90]

instead of 4.3 what about 3.7? a tad bit bigger, but not much.

[l0peter0l]

that's interesting.

iPhone 5
Faster processor
More RAM
More storage space 64 or 128GB anyone??

I like the screen size now and with retina display it makes it so good looking. I don't think they will change the design or the materials for the next phone but wonder if they'll figure out how to make the white ones?

iOS 5
Better notification system
Custom SMS tones
more UI sounds, the same emails sent, text sent sounds get so boooring
Ability to forward messaging, notifications to the iPad
Remote between iPhone and iPad would be cool

I know most things Apple wont do because it's not their style and the like to keep the OS simple. I would just love it if I wouldn't have to stop doing something to show my fiance how to do something I just remote into her phone or iPad from my own and do it LOL
