Something I'd LOVE to see change on the new iPhone.

I'd LOVE to see Apple go with the same MagSafe Power Adapter that their MacBooks use. It's brilliant, small, securely attaches 100% of the time...it just works flawlessly and it's classy as hell.

That is all.

So seperate charging and syncing plugs? No. Just no.

 

[Sindervhit]

Well...I meant for them to be combined of course.

They're not going to change the charger adapter. They've had the same one for way too long.

Yup. Not to mention all little different functionalities the 30-pin plug offers and can probably still be expanded upon.

I'd like to see an iPhone with a 24 hour battery life. That would be fantastic!

 

[Totalimmortal363]

Mine can go 24 hours if I use it accordingly. Same as I can get 300 miles to a tank in my Jaguar if I granny it. It's soo much funner not to....

I would like a bigger screen, better zoom on the pictures, siri (I have the 4) and faster.

 

[Totalimmortal363]

No thanks on the bigger screen. Fragmentation is bad, m'kay?

 

[derfel]

they will not change adapter, a rumor on iPad 3 shows that it has the same adapter of previous models, so iPhone 5 will have the same adapter

Yea, we've established that. Thanks.

I would, too, like to see some battery improvement. As mentioned before, a full day would do. I mean, what's the point of having so many functions if you cannot use them throughout the day. And how come developers did not think about inventing a smartphone with a smart battery?

If they could pull of a 3.7 inch in roughly the same body with the retina display...I don't think that would be a bad thing.

I doubt they will change screen size as that will effect every app and then you would have two different sizes to build apps for. Apple stays on the side of simple and easy. That's why our phones just work

Just means a lesser quality screen. Nope, not a bad thing? Why screw with it at all over .2"?

 

[Shooter03]

personally I'd love to see a bigger screen and a amazing battery, that is all!

Admittedly I am not an Apple person...(by that I mean I have not followed them since the inception of the iPhone) but has the screen size been the same since day one?

Yep.

Ah okay...I guess what others are saying makes a lot more sense then.

What can they do in the way of a design change then...other than material changes, switching away from glass and the like.

It's going to be interesting really to see what pops out of Cupertino.

If they kept the resolution's ratio the same, it wouldn't be that big of a deal to up the screen size. Thats what they did when they introduced the Retina display. Screen size in inches isn't what effects developers, it is the resolution, so they are already coding for 3 screens (Retina, pre-Retina, and iPad). Adding a fourth wouldn't be that much more difficult than 3 (or 2 depending on the app) so long as the aspect ratio stayed the same. For example, doing a 768x1154 pixel 4" display gives you the same 2:3/3:2 aspect ratio of the current and past iPhones and a dpi of about 320, so it would keep retina quality and scaling apps would be easy. And since this is pretty close to the current iPhone Retina display pixel density, just on a larger screen, LCD panel yield rates would likely be similar, so there wouldn't be all that much added cost in parts.
