I don't know... Maps and Passbook I suppose? It's kinda disappointing how few new features we're actually getting.

I understand what you mean, but when you look at maps for example, it's a huge undertaking.

Will this be available in iOS 6? I won't have to upgrade to the next iPhone if iOS 6 increases the size of my 4S screen! Thanks! :rolleyes:

What are they doing to the email app please? I would love folders. You would think that would be easy to fix (I know you can if you use cloud)

1. Widgets
2. Having something other than Safari as the default browser to open links
3. Not being stuck with Yahoo weather in the drop down notification bar

oh wait, none of that is happening

And the point of that comment was? :confused: if you don't like it, no one is forcing you to use the iPhone.

Maps by far! I use the GPS a lot while driving and it is simply not safe sometimes to keep clicking through the screen. Turn by turn is gonna be sah-weet :D.

I'm still crossing my fingers for a killer 'One more thing' on the new iPhone!

Thumbs up! Me too haha :D
 
Let me see...

-Siri enhancements not supported
-FaceTime over cellular not supported
-Turn by turn navigation & flyover not supported
-iCloud tabs is useless because only my iPhone 4 will get support
-Offline reading list is useless because only my iPhone 4 will get support
-Dont need guided access

So in the end I got
-Mail enhancements
-Phone enhancements
-Passbook
-Shared Photo Streams (really should have been in iOS 5)
-Facebook integration

I guess the redesigned iStores because I go there a lot or the new Find My iPhone feature...

Apple should have just called this iOS 5.2 and I would have been ok. To cut the chase, pretty disappointed especially considering an iPhone 4 is quite capable of doing turn by turn or facetime over cellular (look at jailbreaks). I do not want to jailbreak my phone. I understand this from my iPad 1 perspective, but for my iPhone 4? Apple wants money.
 
i travel a lot, and i like to take photos with my iphone cause of the gps location and time embedded into the photos, it makes my world map (iphoto) cluttered with awesome pins everywhere.

my only qualm is the battery life, i wish they wld make it lasts longer, like a whole day of full usage.

Otherwise, i look forward to Siri.

Sorry, but when Apple released iPhone 4, they weren't warrant to give you two-years-later-features, nor features that may arise a few years later if you still stick to iPhone4.

I understand that part, but I'm not talking about hardware features like LTE or NFC.

Its pretty obvious that Apple wants money, its those people that buy their products every year.

I'm just saying its kinda funny and messed up that Apple won't include turn by turn on iphone 4. Is there a reason why it can't have it? Nope, its because Apple wants more money. Not saying thats good or bad, just the truth. Same with Facetime over cellular, originally on the site it was for iphone 4 and later and then a day later they changed it to iphone 4s or later.
 
im not sure, but i think Siri does not work well under iPhone 4.
Im sure there are others who says it does. I've tried it on my jailbroken previous generation iPad and iPhone with some Siri-proxy.
And i have to say, it's awful both in voice speech and recognition. (It could not talk properly with momentary stops between words, and is unable to understand me, noise issues?)
I am also guessing they use the same speech technology for their turn-by-turn.

I guess, adding it would just make it less viable and prone to consumer unhappiness?
like when iPhone 3G was included with the latest iOS update in that generation, people lamented how slow and bad it was - that they wanted to downgrade it, but could not anymore.
 
Biggest thing for me will be siri features for us in the UK...going to be great. Maps will be great too having turn by turn but the tap to tweet will be very useful for me
 
Apple Maps
- Very interested to see what Apple has been cooking up regarding maps. It could initiate the first momentum swing away from the Google Maps API in third party applications and websites - if it's good enough.

Passbook
- Apple's first take on the digital wallet. As someone who hates carrying things in his pocket, I am naturally interested in this.

Aside from these two, the other features are iterative improvements that don't excite me too much. Though 'do not disturb' is very welcome.

Honestly, nothing on the list you provided screams out to me. They are welcome features but I can't say that I'm excited about any of them.

Same. Really, I'm more excited about the whole package. It's like asking what your favorite minigame is in Super Monkey Ball. It's a whole bunch of things I'm not crazy about added up.
