Why does everyone think we're going to ditch the home button lol? We need to switch apps homeboys
Apple can at least make it smaller like on ipad mini
Why does everyone think we're going to ditch the home button lol? We need to switch apps homeboys
That's what I see happening.
iPhone 3G - 16GB
iPhone 3GS - 32GB
iPhone 4 - 32GB
iPhone 4S - 64GB
iPhone 5 - 64GB
iPhone 5S - 128GB
iPhone 6 - 128GB
etc, etc.
They seem to get storage bumps when it's more a spec and no redesign change, which I don't really mind.
I see where you're coming from, but all of those upgrades had one thing in common: there was another iOS device before it that had that higher capacity. Right now there is no 128gb iOS device at all. Now I'd love to see 128gb in an iOS device, but its more likely to be the 5th gen iPad that the next iPhone.
Main reason why I am done w/ iphone... Honestly? and Seriously? Fire these so called design engineers for iphone.. please... If their job is to put loyal iphone follower to sleep, they have done an excellent job.. Please wake me up when iphone 6 come out in 2014..
Hmm, your definition of fanboy and mine are polar opposites. The 'fanboys' I see around here take anything Apple unloads without question or hesitation and admonish anyone who dares criticize what Apple has bestowed on the masses however problematic.Maybe you would, but I doubt it.
The problem Apple has with the "fanboy" crowd is that no matter WHAT they do, it will never be enough. No one that considers themselves a fanboy will ever be at a point where they aren't looking over the horizon at the next "latest and greatest" feature that will render their phone obsolete.
That's why they don't bother going ballistic with new features and "innovation". It doesn't effect sales. In fact it protects it. By adding features slowly, as they see fit, and not just putting everything they can into it, they ensure people will WANT to buy the next one a year later (or less).
If they didn't, people that aren't "fanboys" might very well see NO reason to upgrade. And if your number one source of revenue is selling phones, people not buying phones is a BAD thing.
They didn't put NFC in, even though they clearly could.
Did it hurt sales? They are a company first. For profit. I think a lot of people forget that when compiling "wish lists".
There will never be an iPhone that satisfies a true fanboy. Never. Otherwise they wouldn't be a fanboy. It's a paradox =).
Forget the 5S and 6, the one to really look forward to will be iPhone 7!.
Flexible technology will allow this foldable 6" phone it fit in a ticket pocket, battery life of 6 months and the piezo circuit will keep it charged as you walk.
A version of Siri will read your thoughts..no more talking out loud to it.
But it won,t be available in white.
True, though they might want to introduce a 128GB iPhone next whether the release be in June or fall, though definitely the fall, then introduce a 128GB. It will only be a few months before the iPad as oppose to 9-12 months afterward. I just see it as the cycle. Maybe you're right though and the iPad will be moved to be the iDevice to get the higher storage first as oppose to the iPod touch previously getting it. Though does the iPad have to NAND flash slots like the iPod touch does/did?
Faster processor, improved camera, iOS7 - hardware wise I don' think we're in for many changes.
However - there are few pieces of tech that stand out as potential candidates if Apple feels they can make the experience of using it up to their standard:
NFC - Enough has been said about this, we all know it exists and is already in some Smartphones. Maybe this is an integration with Passbook.
Fingerprint Scanning - Apple has been in talks with AuthenTec to license/buy the technology. Might we see something new in iOS7 that takes advantage?
Haptic Feedback - Many folks thought this might be included in the new iPad. It's a way to experience texture on the screen. I still believe if we even ever see the tech implemented it's use is better suited for a larger screen, but who knows what Apple may have in mind.
I think technicalities like the NAND standard irrelevant when Apple is considering a set of features like capacity. Either way, i think a lot will have to happen in 2013 if we want to see 128gb iOS devices within the next couple years. Although, now that i think about it, making a 128gb iPod touch would be a great way to begin the end of the Classic......which i'll be sad to see go.
What? You want the horrible soap dish design from the 3G/S back?
Fixed something for you! And I doubt it will have wireless charging. Maybe 10MP instead of 12. I don't see the home button going away or screen size changing until the actual iPhone 6, two revisions from now.
Maybe I gave you my opinion on the release wrong and you did totally skip next year's revision.
why would u change OP's original post to 5S and then refer to your post as "maybe for the ip6"... which OP intended in the first place?
no sense
I think there might have to be a 128GB iPhone before the iPod classic goes away. I had my mind in the iPod touch boat and it's the first time I said that to myself, but a lot more people seem to be carrying around an iPhone + iPod classic as oppose to iPod touch + iPod classic. I'd be very surprised if we didn't see 128GB iP---- sometime in 2013.
Nowwww if they suddenly update the iPod classic and it's storage then a lot of mine and others' predictions are thrown out the window and half the Apple fanbase is left confused. Haha. Not that we hate the classic, there's just so little that can happen with it now.
My prediction for the iPhone 6, the next major revision (not 5S), whether it comes next year or the year after:
- 4.5-4.7" screen, higher resolution 16:9 display
- Slightly wider body, small bezel
- Different look, maybe a different home button and external
- Thinner, super thin
- Quad-core 20nm chip
- IGZO tech
- Some upcoming hardware innovation, yet to be seen
Those are safe guesses.
