I'm not buying the new iphone if there isn't a glowing apple logo.

I'm not buying the new iPhone if it doesn't have the following:
2 GhZ processor.
A bigger screen.
1320947138947132894 GB Memory.
and for the small cost of $25 Dollars.

Anyone else with me?
 
threads like this reminded me how vain some apple fans are and a huge problem with the apple fandom. They are form over function.

At the end of the day the iPhone is a cell phone. Who gives a **** what type of phone you are using. I think people who want the general public to know what cool phone they are using are losers. It is one thing to show it off to friends. it is another to have the general public want to know about it.

I go with the thing of WHO THE HELL CARES they are you using an iPhone.

:apple: Light up logo = Douchebagness x 1000, unless it lets you know you've missed a call, sms, mms, email, etc.

This would definitely be a good thing. If not, I hope there is a notification light for messages and missed calls.

wow. that's the last thing i'm worried about -_- most people will stick it in a case anyways and you wont even be able to tell.. hahaha

Indeed. Why do you really care anyway? It's not like it's useful, there's already an apple logo on there. Why don't you just stick a glow-in-the-dark apple sticker, then? Geez. I don't see the big deal here.

Why would Apple spend money/time to do something like that when they could have something that most people actually want, like a camera for the iPod touch?

Here is your back lit iPhone logo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgfyUsjwGwM

That seems way too bright for me. Especially for someone who operates at secret during the night/secretly uses it during every spare minute.

Even that wouldn't do most people much good. Do you often put your iPhone on the table face-down? ;)

I do, but only to hide the light and what shenanigans/games are on. So that would be so pointless.

There are layers of stuff in between the apple logo and the screen, so this isn't an option.

I have seen done before it is just tiny black tubes that direct the light somewhere... it would take up a bit more space but I doubt it would be that much... plus its not like the light doesn't get to the back/sides anyway... I mean how many complaints when 3G came out were there of light leaks?

Seriously, its a phone.

Sure its an "Apple" product, but who really gives a damn.
Constantly upgrading to impress your friends with, sometimes, pointless features as improvements is not only a waste of money but is quite disturbing

I know someone who went through 7 phones in 6 months (no kidding)... it's just silly.


Just my 2c

Not trying to be a smart you know what.

But I ALWAYS put my iPhone on my charging station face down when it is not on me.

So the light actually having that function would be awesome for me.

And as far as the cases go, I am sure a light up Apple Logo will make the case makers very happy IF the shape of the phone itself doesn't change.

Gives them an excuse to have to make all new ones and make even more money.
 
A bit of an odd demand, but it would be nice if they incorporated some sort of Blackberry-esque LED notifier into the next generation. Red for missed call, green for new text, amber for email, etc.


Yes I know this is a concept but the LED next to the earpiece would be really nice. Light up back would look kinda silly.

Is it just me or is it some kind of invisible LED? :confused: If you implied that the LED was shown in that picture, I can't find it.

lol, exaggerate much? So I guess a few millimeters is "nowhere near". Sure for this gen it won't work but for next gen it is a rumored spec. Can't wait to bump this thread when WWDC is over to quote your little fit up there :)

I think someones brought this up already, but anyways

sure its close but, the screen + backlight is facing the opposite direction
Any exposed lighting is pretty much blacked out by the circuit board anyways if not scattered everywhere.

You would definitely need another LED in order to get the logo to glow brightly enough
 
Now here's what I don't get. The screen turns off when you put it close to your face so how could the logo glow if you're on a call? It would have to come from another source, thus, it'd be a waste of precious battery life.

Sorry but it'd be a nice if they could find a way to do it without going out of their way but honestly I'd take a RAM, CPU, and storage boost any day over a glowing Apple logo.

I think it's the little light speck next to the upper speaker slot.

Yeah, sorry I didn't make that more clear. I think it would be better to have something more subtle especially for the business market. Walk into a meeting and have a light show every time you get a call. ;):rolleyes:

Having a huge light up logo would look like those light up batteries kids used to have on their phones about 5 years ago. :p

The iPhone could have a 30 day battery life, 1080p video recording with a 4/3rds sensor, auto focus, f/2.0 14-70mm lens with hotshoe, full bar LTE with 100% national coverage, Titanium 5oz case, OLED screen, full background processes and customization capabilities and people would still complain.

Agreed, especially if there were no external changes.

I don't get this obsession with looks ("it *has* to look different so others can see how cool I am") over function.
