Your #1 Most Wanted Next Generation iPhone Hardware Feature

[JohnH59]

One more button that is assigned to whatever, like tulliver said, Proswitcher. I know that's not just hardware. But, after loosing my jailbroken phone this last week (radio went out and had to get a replacement), I didn't realize how much I used Proswitcher to go from app to app.

Following a previous poster's idea, I would like Apple to put the iPhone into the form factor of the iPod touch.

FLASH for the camera! My 6 year old $50 Sony had one...why can't my $600 iPhone?!

Strictly hardware? I want a bigger, better, baddasser battery!

AMEN Sister!!!!

+1 for LED. Just switched from a blackberry (I'm a heavy poster over @ Crackberry.com) and I miss it lol.

same here. definitely miss the LED, but i'm slowly getting used to it.

A Super AMOLED display or maybe a glowing apple logo like that mod back in the time of iPhone 2G, either would do the trick for me

I don't think Apple will use a AMOLED display and to me that is OK. With all of the screen burn or ghosting going on in the Nexus One screens... Apple would be making a huge mistake. Just a higher res LCD screen, probably like the iPad - just not as big...

Better battery. I like the screen resolution the way it is. It's standardized, and it's just a phone anyway. (Plus, higher res would probably negate any improvements in the battery, right? )

bla bla bla - as others have said... 1) high screen res, 2) better battery life... but would rather #2 and than #1 if had to chose...

better RF would also be a priority...

a physical slide out kb would be wishful thinking, but a nice option... but it won't happen

both digital TV and FM radio reception would be awesome

notification LED as others have said... it's one of BB's best features...

LED indicator (for missed calls, emails, txt's, IM's, etc..) & bigger battery.

Higher res screen would not make battery life performance poor - just to be clear.

And if you use a device with higher res screen and go back to an iPhone you would understand the screen resolution is not fine the way it is.

I highly doubt it but it would be nice. I think that the next gen iPhone will have for sure: 1) a higher res screen, 2) 5mp camera, 3) faster processor, 4) slightley better battery but not significant, 5) new form

Anything else and Apple will have outdone themselves My prediction has been cast...

A higher resolution screen. Don't care if it's LCD or OLED. The Droid and Nexus one make my drool every time I see one.

I know I'm asking for too much. How about another (user-customisable) button next to the Home button? Or 2 or 3 -- like the old Palm PDAs? It's slow and frustrating not to be able to go *anywhere* with just one or two (or even three) actions (press home to wake up, swipe to unlock, press app icon, or swipe and press endlessly to get to where you want to go).

Also, it would be great to have the option of disabling the "slide to unlock" screen after you press home to wake the phone up. Pressing home would then take you straight to your home screen. Or if you had 3 or 4 hard buttons, you could go anywhere with one action!!!

All these notification lights seem so strange to me. How hard is it to press the home button to see if you've missed anything? Higher res screen gets my vote!

Yeah, I want iPad wifi battery life with 3G!!

I haven't seen it listed yet in this thread, and it's probably a pretty obvious thing anyways, but: 64 GB storage would be great (so that by next year, when I'm actually able to upgrade, they'll introduce a 128 GB model).

Faster processor. 1ghz to be exact.

I think that's likely.
1Ghz processor, possibly 512MB of RAM but possibly remaining at 256MB, 960x640 display (maybe 24-bit for deeper blacks? pweeeze?), and probably 64GB of storage. Unless they really did make it 80GB of storage, which would be weird..

After owning a droid for a month, I'm gonna have to go with a higher res screen.

Luckily for you then, it's happening XD
I'm just happy Apple is leap-frogging the competition on that one.
