The big iPhone 5 + OS 4.1 wishlist and rumor list

It doesn't really matter what I want, they've already done what they're going to. If they don't raise the bar high enough, I will consider other phones. AT&T is getting several android phones, it will be interesting to see how they stack up.

heh good luck with that! One of the reasons I sold my Android phone was because of slowness of htc to make a 2.x rom available. There is still nothing even though v.2 released several months ago.
 
A 75 megapixel camera
A 31 day battery
Dolby DTS surround sound
A 13.3" screen
A physical keyboard
CD ROM
Front and side facing cameras
Fingerprint reader
And a new SRT-8 engine.
:)
 
i would like to see multitasking such as turning the phone so the ear hole is down and a card like interface of open background apps show up, just like multiple windows in safari.
 
I would like to see phone functionality, iPod functionality and internet functionality. If they take away any of those, I am done with the iPhone. :D
 
A better search function.

Aren't there already some set up OS 4.0 wish list threads?

Hey Rumor-ers:

Thought I'd start a thread on the things that you'd DESPERATELY like to see in OS 4.0. Limit your list to three things.

Mine are as follows: Multitasking, Android-style notifications, UI redesign.

This.

- Facebook integration

Why? What's wrong with downloading the Facebook in combination with push notifications? One of the things that makes iPhone OS very good is its slim and sleek appearance. Facebook integration makes it more bloated.

- New, redesigned springboard/home screen
- Redesigned system for notifications
- Apple GPS navigation app with turn by turn directions and lane guidance
- Local notifications
- Dashboard widgets
- System-wide voice recognition, revamped Voice Control (make it easier to activate, it’s a PITA to hold down the home button in the car)
- Multi-tasking (even if the App has to be certified for it)
- Facebook integration
- 720p output with TV menu system (like Zune HD, apparently the 3GS has the hardware to support this)
- AirSpeakers support for iPod app
- Over the air via Apple’s servers firmware updates
- Over the air via Wi-fi syncing with iTunes
- Support for Bluetooth keyboard profile
- Ability to turn off landscape mode
- Ability to minimize streaming QuickTime audio and multi-task in Safari
- Ability to turn off the annoying “This device is not made for the iPhone.” message per device.

+1 on the ones I put in bold. They are the most important to me.

All I really want is a redesign, I'm getting bored of the one now.
 
Ability for my phone to recognize incoming calls and ring before going to voicemail would be a welcome update.

whatever security crap will satisfy my employer that I should be able to get rid of my blackberry. :p

actually; I'd settle for just the last one.

There are a few security hurdles to overcome, but be careful what you wish for. One of the fist things a company could insist on is no app installation by user. I know my company would. You might wind up with a iphone with just calendar, mail and notes (no sms). LOL

... so an iPhone that is restricted to out-of-box apps? And why no SMS? Your company doesn't allow that?

I'd be all for that.
 
I'm not desperately wanting anything in OS 4.0. Yeah, there are some things I would like to see, but it hasn't reached the point of desperation.

I would like to see:

A today type screen like Windows Mobile has. I like seeing my calendar events, tasks, etc at a glance on a single screen.

LED flash for the camera.
LED light for notification.
The ability to theme the phone.

I'm the same way. I'm happy with iPhone OS as it is. Sure there's some additions that I'd welcome but nothing that I'm sitting and twiddling my thumbs waiting for.

I will buy the next iPhone if it has this. Other than that I'm pretty satisfied hardware-wise.
