I'd be more than astounded if this ever happened. Aside from being butt ugly it'd make the iPhone look like some crappy Sony Symbian device. They were not pretty at all (yes I had a few 
)
)
The concept alone reminds me of the Sony Clie with the scroll wheel on the side: http://pdadb.net/img/sony_clie_peg-sj22.jpg
If they decide to add a wheel-like control, it will be like this.
sadly you bet with someone who is dishonourable. A verbal agreement to a bet is a rock solid man to man agreement to pay up. You can tell a mans worth by it. Sadly this one was not taught gentleman manners and conduct so can't be trusted in anything in life as he's proved he will welch.
you made the bet. Honor it.
ps.. this is the dumbest idea ever. ****ing crown on a phone. Oh my!
It seems no one on the internet understands appropriate types of input on technology. Just because there can be a touchscreen iMac doesn't mean its a good idea. Just because..for some..reason...there could be a..crown? on a iphone, REALLY means there won't be.
and when the crown gets hard to turn will we be able to wash it under warm water?
Sorry but this is not going to happen!

Sadly, buried deep within the article, is this:
"There is, of course, no chance of it happening in the short term. Apple is all about sleek, minimalist design."
Would bea horrible idea and would look ugly protruding from the side, it's one thing on a watch, another on a phone
I wouldn't quit your day job. Seeing the forecasts of doing away with the Home button on the next generation I would more expect to see no buttons, crowns or anything else on the phones. I assume that it will be entirely a touch screen device although the sleep/wake button may remain.
Jesus why all the hostility? It's just a prediction, on a website for Apple rumors no less.
I know, perhaps some of these folks have personal issues not at all related to this thread.
Personally I always have fun with all the speculation each year and I get a kick out of reading the posts from all the angry people who get all bent out of shape over this topic.
Grabs popcorn ...
It is the way the Apple forums are. I see you are new here...... welcome!
Ah I gotcha. Thanks!
It's a fun prediction! In my personal opinion it would be awkward to use a crown on a full sized phone. BUT if anybody can make it work it's Apple.

Wow, that brings back memories. I loved my Clie - it out-Palmed Palm.
As for the digital crown, there's a greater chance of seeing one on the Queen of England.
