All I want is a corded or cordless printer exclusively made for iPhone in which you don’t even need wifi,computer or internet connection. Say you are in the middle of nowhere and you need to print some of your notes. It would be really nice to have this capability wouldn’t it.

I use my phone for work so i can sync it with my macbook and i need to take photos of before and after shots as well as photos of problems to show clients the total lack of a flash let alone a decent flash (xenon) is a real problem and the need of better quality optic’s e.g. Carl Zeiss or better would be a great addition and if pos at least 5mp or better (HD) would make my millennium in an iPhone.
I just love the iPhone and don’t want to have to put it down to have to use something else in its place, so please make it the best of all worlds in picture quality, sound quality, memory, battery life and usability. The masses of us who love the iPhone will pay a little extra for the best phone to suit everyone and i believe you can put all these essential qualities in the best iPhone handset ever!!!!
Mine world is an i-World and i want it to grow i-Strong!

There is a switch on the left side of your iPhone. That turns the sound on. There. You’re welcome! :)

I would like a lightsaber (cause I live in a dodgy area) and a fold out screw driver (cause my scooter keeps breaking) on the next iPhone

Tried Blackberry. I want to keep iPhone and get the indicator light on it. Till then, it can vibrate every time something comes in. I like that. So far, loyal to iPhone.

I badly want a bigger higher res screen. As long as I can fit it in my pocket, it’s not too big.

Gps with talking turn by turn directions

multi-tasking hopefully without killing my battery

better camera with flash – I bought a rockin camera with video recording so this isn’t so important right now.

Flash player support would be nice.

How about a tri-states shift key for caps lock support like the android.

I would just be thrilled if you could delete more than one email at a time. Both from the inbox and from the trash box. Something like my Blackberry did,….delete all below.

Nope. LG came out with this technology already. Apple won’t be far behind.

if you can’t hit one button to read the message (ps-the light only tells you that there’s a new message, you have to hit a button to read it) then you are lazy. also there is an audible and vibrate setting. if you m iss those then you are an idiot. also a blinking light in a pocket or purse isn’t helping you at all. jesus christ just bring up more moot points will ya?

As a software developer patenting these sorts of “features” seems insane. The idea that notifying someone that they have an email for an outgoing call is too basic to patent. If Apple patents said feature does it mean that if I developed an app for Android or any other phone and did something similar that I’d have to pay them royalties. In software it’s about algorithms. There are hundreds of JPEG editors out there. The JPEG file is patented, but the type of software to edit a JPEG is not so you could develop your own editor. You can patent say an algorithm for sorting a list or performing a lookup, doing image recognition, but this sort of stuff… It’s a kin to patenting the wheel?

I’d love to see more features in my iPhone, but why does Apple have to be so freakishly obssessed about patents. It’s like when they tried to patent the concept of a graphical interface, the equivalent to patenting the wheel when it comes to human-machine interfaces.

I liked Apple when they were the underdog, but their behavior the last number years is reminicent of their behavior in the 1980′s and it’s getting to be worst the Google and Microsoft, and Google is climbing the “too powerful” ladder a bit quick.

Reminds me of an article I read in August on Switched:

Kim I like your site. Good recipes. I’ll have to try out the Pumpkin bread.

blah, how does a vibration help if you don’t noticed it when it vibrates for some reason. A status light is persistent as long as the status holds and is a superior feature.

Apple can’t do flash. Try running flash under MacOS and noticed that unlike Linux/Windows it will use a massive amount of processor power. Apple calls this a bug, but its not. It is however the reason we don’t get a flash player on the iPhone as it would drain the battery and eat up the CPU cyles.

Jailbreak and it will become your friend:

1. Percent of battery
2.Customizable
3. customizable sms sounds
4. more camera options
5. real homescreen (but then: why dont you buy a windows os phone??)

The others i agree on.

Yeah, forget the keypad (bubba5639), it would be better to slim it down like the ipod touch. They have got to make a deal with Adobe to get Flash on there…and maybe rubberize the back so we don’t need to clunk it up with a case.

Who gives a crap about a button keyboard? I would consider it a detraction and wouldn’t buy the next iphone if it has a slide out button keyboard. Touchscreen keyboards are the best.
