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. :D
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.
 
I'm also not really sure that there would be room, it's pretty tight in there

There's actually enough width at the sides to make the hole without going all the way through.
 
i just don't understand why people need a strap on their phone. if you do, buy a case that has one. apple's not gonna cater to people who don't know how to hold on to their phone by changing the iPhone's design (even in that small of a way)
