The big iPhone 5 + OS 4.1 wishlist and rumor list

The unoffical "official" iPhone 5/ iOS 5 Wish List!

Ok yeah i know its early....and i admit i have no complaints whatsoever with the new iPhone 4 and iOS 4! Can't wait to pre-order!

However...of course we all want more so what do you want/ think will be in iOS 5 and the 5th gen iPhone?

My only wish for the Software would be a better notifications system which could be updated in smaller versions of the OS.....and as for the iPhone all i would want to see is a screen rotation lock!!!! ;)

Hbu?

I want a water-proof, shock-proof, dust-proof, full HD with optical zoom video recording, running on Verizon's 4g network. And I want a built-in blu-ray burner.
 
Anyone already noticed this for the iPhone 4?

- 800:1 contrast ratio (typical)
- 500 cd/m2 max brightness (typical)

It's definetely better than the 3GS.
 
Why did you remove the wish for a 4.5 inch screen on the next iPhone That'sMeRight?

I thought the point of this thread is to make a list of what the people here on this forum want to see in the next iPhone

The majority of the people that post on this forum want a 4.5 inch screen in the next iPhone...

https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/918519/

It doesn't get any more conclusive than that. The majority of people that post here voted that they want to see a 4.5 inch screen on the next iPhone.

At the very least, they want to see one model of next year's iPhone that offers a 4.5 inch screen, to supplement the current iPhone.

So that wish for a 4.5 inch screen absolutely should be one of the things in the list in the opening post of this thread.

It's not right for you to remove wishes from the OP that the majority of the forum posters here want and voted for, even if you personally don't want that to see atleast one version of the iPhone with a 4.5 inch screen next year. Clearly enough of a percentage of people do that their wish deserves placement in the OP of this thread.
 
Yes he needs to edit the OP to add a few things actually.

For example...

Dynamic icons for the weather app, the clock app, the stocks app etc

Full Voice Control That Allows You To Control the OS (ex: iPhone: Turn off Bluetooth)

The Ability to create different profiles for Work, School, Airport, Home, Jogging Outdoors, Different Users of the iPhone etc (This feature may already be in the new OS set to come out, I'm not sure).

A Fully Customizable Home Screen with the ability to add widgets to it

Xenon Flash instead of LED Flash (Or perhaps both types, the LED flash for the video camera, and both the LED and Xenon flash for the still camera)

A Camera Shutter Button and Screen Orientation Lock

Analog Zoom for the Camera + Even Bigger Lens

A 4.5 Inch Screen Version of the iPhone with the same 960x640 resolution.

HDTV Tuner and Mini HDMI Out

A Smaller Bezel

Super AMOLED Screen

8 MP Camera/1080p Video Recording



There was no good reason to remove those wishes.

Yes, you can argue that some of these wishes aren't essential but neither is the wish for a solar panel, pedometer and most of the wishes in the OP. It's silly to arbitrarily say that people want a solar panel in the next iPhone or a Pedometer or RFID etc but that they don't want a mini hdmi out or a smaller bezel for example. If the OP is including any even slightly niche wishes for the next iPhone, he should include all of them.
 
All I really want is a bigger capacity. Toshiba starts production of 128GB NAND chips in Q4 so it's a posibility.

I don't think we'll get more than a 64gb option, a minor clock speed bump and maybe better video out and a FM radio.
 
Yea, I think they will have a 64 GB model next year and of course a improved A4 chip. Further I hope they will also add FM radio and a pedometer (just like the ones in the iPod nano).

And I guess a 8 mp camera and Full HD video.

I'd like to see new alert sounds (for email, text, etc.), push email without downloading an application, larger capacity, more color options, & maybe a slide out qwerty keyboard. I'm more than positive the slide out keyboard is a no go, but a girl can hope. :rolleyes:
 
What i want has already been covered.

Wireless syncing
Better lockscreen
New notification system

If i were to add to that list, i'd say the ability to reply to texts from within any app. Kind of like Tlert (Jailbroken app)

I'll add it to the wishlist.
 
After playing with an iPhone 4 for a week now, I can't think of anything else I really want to see in a future hardware revision. The iPhone4 is practically perfect.

I've been really upset at US Carries whom, for years, have removed front-facing cameras from phones before they hit the states. HTC made a ton of Windows Mobile devices with front cameras but AT&T, Sprint and Verizon always had them removed. Now I have a front facing camera.

I can't really tell the difference between 720p and 1080p, so I think the 720p shooter in the iPhone4 is great. It takes great pictures and video, but doesn't adjust well to white balance changes I've noticed. It also looks kind of overexposed in video most of time, so I think there could be some change here, but I don't think I'm really interested in things like a 8MP camera with a huge zoom lens.

I imagine next year's iPhone will be very much like the jump between the iPhone and the iPhone 3G. We might LTE data and increased storage capacity, but not much else and I'm fine with that, as I think the majority of people are.

All the changes need to happen in the software. The iOS UI is getting a bit stale. I'm tired of swiping through page after page of grid icons trying to get what I'm looking for. I'd really like to see an application pull up menu like in Android or WebOS so that I can have a bunch of stuff installed but only what I use on the Desktop. I'd also like to see the equivalent of widgets for iOS.

It just feels like something has to change UI-wise in iOS. I think it was a great shot out of the gate in 2007, but things feel different now in the smartyphone world and I don't think Apple is doing enough to adapt to keep it up to date and feeling fresh.

I think I'm fine with the notification system, but I would like to see some improvements like QuickReply. Being able to reply from the popup would make life a lot easier but it also needs to be taken one step farther. When you get a voicemail, I think you should be able to hit play from the popup notification to listen to it without it having to go in the phone app.

So, summary, I think the iPhone4 hardware is perfect, it's the software that needs a bit of work.

Personally I think iPhone 5 is gonna be like a '3GS update'. Just something small like a 8 megapixel camera, 64 GB capacity and an improved A4 chip (and of course, as every year, a better battery life). Small design change to avoid antennagate like this year, but nothing big.

And than iPhone 6 (because than, for most people, the contract ends) there's going to be a 'high-end update'. Full HD video recording, an improved A4 chip again, perhaps 1 GB (1024 Mb) of RAM. Probably also LTE support (because than more telecom providers in the world will have some lTE network) and call it revolutionary. And of course a new design. And of course an improved screen: perhaps not a higher pixel density, but like a higher contrast ratio.

Besides that I also think in the upcoming 2 years (so or i5 or i6) there will be some new senors like the gyroscope now in iPhone 4. Perhaps a pedometer like found in the iPod Nano. Or FM radio like found in the iPod nano? And with a bit of luck perhaps even some 3D support (both in video recording and just showing in the screen) to compete with devices like the Nintendo 3DS.

And well, software will improve over the years. One thing I'm sometimes really missing is the bad bluetooth support: why can't I just send a song or video over bluetooth just like any Nokia or Sony Ericsson device can do.
 
I would like a 64 GB version iPhone.

None of the things on that list will happen in the next iteration, save the 64GB and a small speed increase.


You heard it here first!

That's why it's a wishlist.

But I've changed the home post to fit it in to 'modern times'. So, any new wishes?
 
Better front facing camera (doesn't do well in low light)
A white iPhone 5 at launch

This is small, requiring a password to turn the phone off if you have a password set. Because "find my iPhone" is useless if the thief can just turn it off.

But than the iPhone is also useless for the thief. In my opinion the best way to keep find my iPhone working, is using restrictions: turn on GPS and Find my iPhone and than go to restrictions in settings and lock the option to change something to mail accounts or to turn on/off GPS. So GPS will be on, and find my iphone can't be deleted.
