It'd be nice if my iphone allows for a strap. I like the sleek look and wouldn't like to buy any cases for it, just a strap. when I'm taking photos and I'm near water (which is very often) I always wish there was a strap. When I'm snowboarding and taking out my phone while on the lift or taking photos going down I wish I had a strap like most phones and cameras have.
what is wrong with an option for a strap?
If Apple put a strap hole into the iPhone, watch its sales in Japan skyrocket to an unimaginable level.
But yeah, I don't think Apple/Jobs would want this on the iPhone. Personally, I don't really care. Other manufactures like Nokia have embedded strap holes on their phones for ages without much compromise on the body itself physically nor visually, so it's doable. But I think the iPhone has generated a similar trend, not in straps, but in cases. There are a gajillion iPhone cases/skins on the market to personalize anybody's iPhones. Not exactly the same thing, but may be considered a similar train of thought.
It's a shame that most couldn't be this objective.
