Is apple going to be stubborn enough not to put quickreply on ios6

Plus if you are to lazy to open up an app I really don't think you should be using an iPhone.
So people who want a quick reply feature are lazy? Sometimes I'm reading something on my iPhone and I get a message that needs to be replied to, but I have to click on the notification center banner, then go to the messaging app, then double tap my home button and go back to what I was doing. So, because I wanted to keep my place on the page I was reading, or in the game I'm playing, or in the email I'm currently in the middle of- I'm lazy? Quick reply isn't a necessity, it's an added feature that will benefit many. Having to leave an app to go into another app to simply taking me away from what I'm doing.
I wonder how you felt about notifications in iOS prior to iOS 5. Did you say it's not hard to just click the close button for every notification. How did you feel about multitasking prior to iOS 4? Did you say I'll just scroll through my pages and find the app every time I want. How about picture messaging? Would you rather go to a website and type in a password to see a picture.
Claiming that someone who wants a feature not currently in iOS is lazy is mindless. Go back to iPhone OS 1, since obviously everything Apple adds makes you more and more lazy.
Why do you feel they're being "stubborn"? If a suggestion isn't given through http://www.apple.com/feedback it hasn't been heard by Apple.
I've put a suggestion through that page for Apple with regards to this. I said I don't care if they just blatantly outright steal it, I want this feature stock. It is the only reason I jailbreak at all these days. I won't even upgrade hardware until it can be jail broken because my wife and I simply use BiteSMS quick reply too much.
I don't think you understand what the Quick Reply feature does.
None of those are "quick reply" features. All they serve as are shortcuts that take you to the Messages app. I don't want that.
Quick Reply consists entirely of viewing and replying to a message all in a single pop-up box, OVER TOP of whatever app you're currently in. So you see the message, reply to it (or close, ignore, whatever), the box goes away, and your app never left the screen.
The way stock iOS 5 works, it completely leaves the app you were in, and goes to the Messages app. Once you're done replying, you have to leave the Messages app and manually switch back to the app you were working with. Personally I can't stand that... it's sort of a pain.

Quick Reply is not mandatory, lol. Calm down buddy. It's just a pop-up, just like the one you get on iOS 5 anyway. If you don't want to reply, ignore/dismiss it.
And yes, switching to the Messaging app, replying, and switching back to your other app is much more tedious than not having to do it at all.
Some people have the silliest arguments.
"OMG, NO MORE OPTIONS PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Give me a break.
Oh I get what quick reply is (I've used it). Apple just doesn't care as that's not how they want iOS to work. It's really that simple.
Wow, I guess this thread didn't belong in the iPhone Hacks forum after all.
I still think it belonged there
Unfortunately it looks like they didn't.
No, it won't have it. Apple wants users to switch into a specific app to do a specific thing, not do multiple things from anywhere in the OS*. I think it's just the way they want users to use iOS. Maybe it helps them sell more apps or something.
