How much could the iPhone 5 really revolutionize things at all?

OK since we are all in make believe land here, then I know what would revolutionize the cell phone industry.

Have the iphone be a folded piece of glass that when folded is similar to the current iphone only all screen on the fron and back maybe?? but it unfolds in two motions to create a tablet thats four times as large front face as the iphone adn only 1/4 as thick, almost like a thin pain of glass.

That would be revolutionary.

So you would like your iPhone to be $6,000 and be the size of a macbook pro? Okay...

Did he say put them all in the next iPhone? Did he imply that would be realistic?

No.

He was just giving numerous examples of how there ARE things that can be added to smartphones to make them better. A lot of people were chiming in saying things like "nothing to really add, it's basically perfect..." and he simply showed there are tons of things that could be revolutionary. of course all of those aren't going to be in the next iPhone... but it would be nice if in addition to LTE and NFC, which would just be getting it on par with other phones on the market, we got 1 or 2 of those things as a surprise. Over the next 5 years, most if not all of those things should find their ways into phones.

Google Now isn't revolutionary in the least. It's basically just scraping data and presenting it to the user as if it's magic. It's not.

The way it integrates everything together so well is revolutionary. We already had cell phones, cameras, touchscreens, iPods, and portable internet devices... but that didn't stop people from oohing and aahing when the iPhone debuted. Because it integrated it all so well.
