I love my Iphone 4, ive been a member of the Iphone family since its first release in 2007! And every year they make it better and better and BETTER!! Never been dissapointed, so i'm positive Steve has something special coming for the future of the Iphone but im just wondering what that is...
What does everyone else think? What can we expect from future Iphones that we dont already have?
And moreover, what do you want most out of future Iphones that will make you want to upgrade (even early!) to the next Iphone!?
I would like a led status notification so I know I missed something without waking up the phone.
There is a long article some where that cites steve jobs discussing this and pretty much saying it wont happen because if you check your phone you check your phone an Led is unnecessary and is either to basic , such as, its on you have a notification, or to complex (in apple's mind) with having to remember what different color combinations means
I'd like to see different colored iPhones. Like nanochromatic..I know that won't happen though since they can't even get white right.
I would like to see wifi sync, some sort of itunes streaming service added to mobile me, custom text tones, better cameras (current is great, but there is always room to improve), bigger screen, and maybe time machine back up to mobile me over wifi.

Thats Steve for you!! He said an interview once, "i dont listen to what the customers want, because they really do not know what they want, until i show them."
So the led notifications... guess we think we want them but we dont lol
I think iOS 6 or 7 will have springboard icons that can display data and animate, much like how we have LiveClock and WeatherIcon in Cydia.
Maybe even Dashboard will make a move to the iPhone. Then again, iOS 1 was basically Dashboard on-the-go anyway, so it may not matter. But possibly widgets that sit on the springboard and take up icon spaces.
I just came from a BlackBerry and I'm glad that iPhone4 does NOT have a LED notification. The LED on the BlackBerry is too distracting. If I saw it blink, it would interrupt about everything I was doing like watching a movie, dinner with the wife, and work. I'm a happier man without it. I would like to see in a future update are notifications on the lock screen. Something simple like a small e-mail icon in the in the status bar with a number next to it indicating the number of e-mails in my inbox. That can be expanded to Facebook, IM's, SMS notifications as well. A couple of other things I would like to see are video wallpapers, organize photos in folders, and wifi sync with iTunes. I know all this can be done with a JB, but really? These are things that should be standard in iOS.

i wouldnt hold your breath on the video wallpapers simply because if i worked for Apple i would see it as a useless adition that would simply drain the battery. As for organizing photos in folders YES! That is something i am really hoping for in the near future.
I think we will eventually see the combination of the iPad and iPhone into one single entity...and as far as solar panels go, it's not completely out of the realm of possibility, with the tech getting cheaper, and the small real estate they have to provide for, it could be a next step.

not for another 15-25 years.
I'd just like Apple to get on the ball with Wireless syncing and just use a micro/mini (what ever its called) USB for charging or come up with their own port. The 30 pin port is nice, but I think its time for an update for the next decade. (and for the iPods 10th birthday next October)
My wish is a bit simpler, I would just like to see a more extended battery life to make it easier to take my iphone when i'm on the go and not have to charge it every day.
Chris 15-25 years are you kidding? in 3 years we've gone from the first Iphone to the Iphone 4 lol in 15 years i cant even imagine what "smartphones" will be like..
and hoenstly i dont get why battery life is still so crappy on phones. I think they need to really experiment and figure a way out for insane battery life because all smart phones suck with battery.
