What features will Apple add to the iPhone 5 S⃣ ?

Redbeard25 · 10:51 AM

With the new rumor of pre-production... what do you think they're producing?

jamesryanbell · Nov 12, 2012, 10:45 AM

I highly doubt this will happen, but the addition of a 128GB model would be incredible.

Hopefully a phone that arrives undamaged from the box

No, that would require a leader with a set of balls willing to risk everything on demanding his vision of perfection, and he my friend, is gone.

Poll up now.

I forgot to add "unchippable paint."

I am glad to see teleportation leading the charge.

wordoflife · Nov 12, 2012, 10:55 AM

I mainly want iOS 7 fixed and as polished as previous iOS versions.

Can you add -more durable body-more durable finish?

Will2145 · 10:58 AM

I'd say NFC will be featured

solo118 · Nov 12, 2012, 11:03 AM

I say faster processor.

Really none of these things matter to me. If it were a better camera I can see myself being suckered into buying it, but otherwise I am happy.

paulbennett95 · Nov 12, 2012, 11:05 AM

Hopefully they'll fix the problems with the 5 (scuffing, I heard people complained about it bending or something, etc), maybe add NFC for s**ts and giggles, expand LTE range, maybe add native AM/FM radio (that'd be nice so if I don't have any reception [natural disaster? i had no reception during Sandy and if we didn't have a radio at home we would've been screwed] I can listen to the radio) and other stuff like that.

Can't figure out how to add a poll option... just vote for Teleportation if you want the better finish.

tann · Nov 12, 2012, 11:42 AM

7 people picked 128gb storage option, but only 4 picked lowest model having 32gb of storage!

Do you think that they will release a $499 128gb as well!? I for one think that is very unlikely :/

I would have thought 32 becoming base will be key this year (massive MP camera, 1080p video, super large apps) with 128gb being the third option only being a possibility.

I can see a 128gb iPad this year, not sure about iPhone.

Stop making multiple threads about this .. Search before posting ..

HowardSmith · Nov 12, 2012, 11:51 AM

I hope they add WIDTH!

No need in more meory unless Apple gives us a FILE/Folder option where we can store our own docs and files. But that ain't going to happen!

If the next iPhone does not include Teleportation, I am switching to S3.

Sedrick · Nov 12, 2012, 12:27 PM

I think the 5S will just be a maintenance release.

They'll fix most of the software issues with iOS 7 and throw in a couple bones that most people won't use.
Re-manufacture the case with harder anodized aluminum with will solve two issues: Finish will last like a Mag light and it won't bend in half when you sit down with it in your pocket.

Those are the main reasons I passed on the 5, but will be enough for me to get a 5S.

alexander25 · Nov 12, 2012, 12:31 PM

the iPhone 5S will look exactly like the iPhone 5 but have upgraded internals.

i hope we see a bigger iPhone soon though, because I really like screen on the S3.

XboxMySocks · Nov 12, 2012, 12:38 PM

I sincerely hope that NFC is not included, and if it is, that it is not touted as a major feature.

As of right now, it is 99% useless outside the 48 contiguous United States (and infact, useless in many of them anyway) for 'paypass', and the only other remarkable feature of NFC is Bump, a feature which I can install on my phone without NFC.

assfeis · Nov 12, 2012, 12:38 PM

The Vice President of iPhone Thickness said it will certainly be thinner.

That's enough to pump fanboys up.

Redbeard25 · Nov 13, 2012, 06:54 AM

How do you think they will improve the back camera? More megapixels? Is that an improvement??

Beeplance · Nov 13, 2012, 07:06 AM

Maybe 12MP camera? They have always improved the camera for the 'S' models.

Faster processor. *As if A6 isn't fast enough*

Better LTE coverage.

iOS 7 (Of course)

Some other iOS 7 feature exclusive only to the iPhone 5S.

SR45 · Nov 13, 2012, 07:16 AM

Phone will be the same width. So those that want a wider phone, give it a break, it will not happen..... Period.

New iPhone 5s will probably have a fingerprint reader, slightly better camera sensor for the back and front, not a 10 or 12 MP since that does not really amount to an improvement, and maybe a slightly faster processor A6X or even an A7. That will be it.
