IPHONE 5 whats important to u?

[anon(27512)]

Hardware:

*More RAM.
*64 GB
*4G
*A5 chip, same power as iPad 2, not some watered down version like the A4 was in the iPhone 4.
*LED. Here's my idea: Get rid of the ugly plastic home button, replace it with the squircle home icon and make it a LED capacitive touch button. Would glow white whenever the phone is in use so users could access it easily, then the user could set colors of their choice for their notifications. Ex: blue=text, green=twitter, etc.
*At LEAST a 4" Retina Display.
*Better camera lens. The iPhone 4's is great but would be awesome if I never ever had to carry a digital camera again.
*Metal back.
*Better battery life.

iOS 5:

What apple displayed at WWDC was awesome, here are some more ideas....

*AIM built into Messages.
*Facebook integration.
*System-wide voice control. Voice Control sucks at the moment and is VERY limited.
*Spotlight. I wish it was more like Just Type on WebOS. It would be great if I could started typing and either share as a status or have a list of apps to help me complete the search.
*Widgets.

I just got the white iPhone 4 and they confirmed iOS 5 will be on the iPhone 4. So what else do I need?

These would be great for me. I don't really care if it looks much different than the iPhone 4, I just want a metal or plastic back, rather than glass. That's my biggest gripe. Other than that, I dwindled down MsEye's list and these would definitely get me to wait and upgrade to it, rather than a iPhone 4.

What features does the iphone 5 have to have?

More customization? Widgets?
What do people wanna see on the iphone 5?? Share with me?

That it not have an absurdly large screen.

A 5.5" screen... I'm tired of these Android phones bragging about their screen size! You're move little green dude!

 

[AStranger]

That it not have an absurdly large screen.

Absolutely. It becomes absurd if your phone has a screen with similar size as some tablets.

It also has to fit comfortably in my pocket.

 

[sigmamason]

Late to this thread but as others have posted: 4" display at least, more RAM, better battery, improved attenna.

 

[hbcbob573]

Yeah, I should have taken that out of my post, I don't necessarily need to have a larger screen. The one on the current iPhone is good with me. They get too big, then they get bulky.

All I want in the iPhone 5 is a Sprint-compatible version. After preferring other OSs for years, iOS 5 finally makes me want to switch, but I can't because I'm not leaving Sprint. I don't care if they don't add anything new at all to the hardware; an iPhone 4 on Sprint would be good enough for me.

Apple has shown some hints of notification at WWDC and that is good enough to understand that we will have notifications like BB in iphone 5. I want some customization in iphone 5 to make it a personal one.

If it does come to Sprint, i would assume they'd have a more expensive plan just for them in line with AT&T and Verizon. It'd also be 3G only.

I don't think so. I think it will be 4G. After all Sprint is the NOW network. So if there is a 4G iphone on Sprint it may just be in 2012. Hopefully they will keep the unlimited plans around. I'd be grandfather in but the way I look at it is, why should people cry or worry over the data they use? Just set it and forget it. Don't worry that you are using too much data. Its very apple like too.

A flashing indicator of missed notifications would be nice.

The SMS app is so basic, I wish they'd integrate more options such as folders, saved SMS, contact pictures, etc. While I hear they're re-doing the notifications, I think the entire UI needs work to look somewhat more modern.

Customization would be nice to have, but I won't hold my breath.

Better icons all around. The calendar icon looks nothing like the one on a Mac.

And for crying out loud, add some NICE message tones. The new ones in 4.2.1 sound awful.

I can agree with everything but the flashing light. The iPhone doesn't need to look like a circus apparatus.

Which it would not, it would look like a cell phone with a notification light.

This^. If there aren't icons in the status bar or a led light, how useful is notification center? What good is it other then removing dialogue boxes?

 

[Shanicenicolle]

Hmm. Nothing major. Notifications won't be ready until i6. Better SMS tones that we can make ourselves. Beyond that, I'm good.

Guess who was wrong!!? lol

 

[tirk]

My personal top priority - 64GB, ideally 128GB. Lots of other great suggestions above though.

 

[dsmith3427]

An LED light for notifications and maybe a dedicated camera button. Both great features the BB has.

I don't think another button will make it past Jobs. What I'd like to see (not mentioned so far)

1. Keyboard macros.

2. Customizable on/off button. So frex, On/off with Home turns off. Pressed alone it can be user defined for like bringing up the camera or whatever. Pressed twice it does another custom function.
