Just wondering if anyone knows why Apple has never put an LED on the IPhone? Is it a cost saving measure? Battery saver? Has there ever been an official statement or anything since every other phone on the market has an LED.
Not sure why. But I personally find it annoying that there's this light flashing at me. One reason why I got rid of android phone. Bugged the heck out of me. So I personally praise apple for that. Lol.
You mean other than the one on the back to use as a camera flash or flashlight?
Probably a combination of battery and space.
That's actually one of the few things I've missed since switching from my BlackBerry a few weeks ago! I like being able to look at the table/car console/whatever and see a blinking light letting me know that I have a notification.

Are you aware that using the LED camera flash as a notification light is one of the features of iOS 5?
That's an accessibility feature meant for persons who might need it, it's not meant to be used by everyone. It's hardly equivalent to a real LED notification light.

Because LEDs on phones are ugly... and there's always some moron that wants to make it flash every color of the rainbow just because they can.
The iPhone is immeasurably better without it.
The LED light is a both a blessing and a curse.
It's fantastic because you can just look at the phone and see if you have a message, text, etc without needing to take the phone in your hands, unlock it, and check.
It's also one of the worst things to bestow upon mankind because that blinking light is the digital equivalent of crack. During a meeting, it is impossible to ignore it. If you put it away, you are thinking about that blinking light, it drives you mad. You just have to check.
