WOW a bigger screen!!

Some people here must be easily pleased.

[Acageron]

Ridges everywhere.

In seriousness, I doubt it will really wow me regardless. Still, I'd gladly welcome a larger screen, more power, etc.

[Keavy_Rain]

For me it's not so much what they need to do to "Wow" me as it is what they need to do to make the device better.

Bigger battery, more storage, and a 4" screen would do it.

My contract is almost up on my iPhone 4 and whether I upgrade when the new iPhone comes out or hold off for the 2013 iPhone depends on what they bring to the table.

Before anyone asks "Y U NO GO ANDROID?!?" I'm too deep into the iOS ecosystem.

[CielTynave]

Come to my doorstep and give it to me for free.

[Hoo-doo]

WOW a bigger screen!! Some people here must be easily pleased.

Or the iPhone 4S is simply one of the best phones available.
It doesn't need a overhaul.

[HenryGale]

Name it the iPhone 5. That will be shocking, it's as dumb as every rmuor site and fan who thunks the 6th generation phone will be called the iPhone5.

In anycase.

-Dynamic App icons
-New functions if there is larger screen real estate.
-Open notification center widgets to third parties.
-Air drop to iOS devices
-NFC
-Improved camera sensor not higher MP
-Better battery life
-LTE
-Mag safe or USB3/Thunderbolt capable dock connector
-Dedicated app store for games / more advanced folder and organization for games
-Documents app that can be backed up and accessable from any app like we have for photos

Its most likely I will be waiting until the 7th generation phone. I have the 4s (5th gen iphone) already so I can wait.

FYI 100 bucks says its called The New iPhone, and we will have to use generations and release years in the future to identify the phone. Ultimatly calling it the 6th gen iPhone.

[soultron]

Beyond amazing battery life.
An OS that is sleek but also doesn't treat you like a moron if you're a power user.
Expandable memory/removable backing. (Sorry, Apple Care)

I love the ecosystem and the non-fragmentation, but I'm just not a fan of the actual user experience of the iDevices.

[scotcheggz]

Kinda funny everyone wanting a bigger screen. I probably won't get a 5 as one of the main reasons I got my 4s was size. I like my phones to be pocketable, my mates got a gigantic, ugly Samsung thing and it's fekkin ridiculous in my opinion

[Captain Tuttle]

A completely new UI, I'm sick of iOS, Software baby, software.

A bigger screen would be nice too.

[Damon Bennet]

android can be as ugly or beautiful as you want it to be atleast you have options lol

you can make a beautiful homescreen (with lots of work) but then you open an app and it looks atrocious.

at least iOS or Windows Phone have some kind of visual consistency, wheres android is just all over the place.

[espresso]

Why fix what isn't broken?

All I'd really like to see is a much improved battery.

[quaere]

Honestly, it's just not possible for Apple to impress me with the new iPhone.

My most used smartphone function (other than the basic phone functions that any phone can do) is mapping. Helping me find some place I'm looking for, help me get there, decide what to do, what to eat, etc.

I've checked out the mapping functionality in iOS 6. It's just not anywhere as good as Google's suite of mapping/location/navigation functions. There aren't going to be any big surprises in this department for the next iPhone - it will take lots of time for Apple to catch up, if they ever do.

So.. get the google maps app?

[DMeisterJ]

Screen 4 inches or more
LTE.

It looks like both of those are coming so I'll be wowed.

[Dark_AnNiaLatOr]

I want a bigger screen for web browsing. Just a taller screen would be fine, because I would be able to see more of GAF at one time.

A mag safe charging port would also be pretty cool.

Definitely a new design. The highly rumored two tone back looks spectacular.

Finally, it must work with tmobile's 4G or at least 3G. Oh ya and I wish it would be cheaper unlocked but that's probably not gonna happen.

[Emily Chu]

7" screen and flash support lulz

1080p screen

[quaere]

So.. get the google maps app?

Really doubt Google will follow through with making a maps app for iOS that's as good as the Android version. Even then they'd probably lose interest in maintaining feature parity, especially with all the Google Now stuff they won't be able to bring to iOS.

Apple was right that this is something they need their own solution for, so they can control it. Their solution just isn't ready to go head to head with Google yet.

[Argyle]

So.. get the google maps app?

IMHO this will always be an inferior experience on ios vs Android as long as Apple doesn't allow you to change default apps.

(For example tap address on Android to open Google Maps vs. highlight address, copy, home, find Google Maps, launch, paste)

[Cloudy]

I just want the screen to be a big bigger.

[SpacLock]

Needs to be see-through.

[Gaspode_T]

A revamped GameCenter that doesn't suck or feel like an afterthought, that allows games to play on Apple TV too (one purchase both places)

[Tobor]

Oh goodie, another thread where Android users who will never buy an iPhone anyway post about how they wish iOS was more like Android.

[rkn]

sd card slot, hdmi port, notifications led, 1080p screen, sextuple core, ethernet port, weather widgets and text clocks, if i don't get any of these crapple can kiss my money goodbye.

[x-Lundz-x]

LTE and better battery is all I need for my iPhone 5.

4"+ retina screen would be nice but if they stay 3.5" that's fine with me.

[gatti-man]

A bigger screen and a less fragile design. Oh and better quality speaker/audio out.

[Argyle]

Oh goodie, another thread where Android users who will never buy an iPhone anyway post about how they wish iOS was more like Android.

Interesting how aside from performance (which may be fixed in Jelly Bean) it so rarely goes the other way, no?

[Roland Garros]

make IOS customizable when you look at threads of people showing their phone startscreens the android phones look almost totally different one from the next the iphone ones the only differences you see are the order of the icons and the wallpaper......and thats about it its embarrassing when you look at side by side youtube comparison videos

I think you'll find many people see that as one of iPhone's finest attributes.

For every quality customised Android interface, there's 10 reminiscent of MySpace monstrosities.

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

- Have chpwn's Zephyr gestures as standard (more IOS feature than anything);
- Lean towards MS's approach to NFC/wallets (on the SIM versus on the phone)
- A home/power button that doesn't break after regular use
- DON'T follow the trend of having a ginormous phone

[Sanjuro]

If the new phone doesn't have a smart cover, I'm not even going to be interested.

[Cromat]

Touch screen with texture (haptics).

[ciridesu]

Bigger screen and an aesthetical re-haul. iOS needs to go through a similar development as Android went in 4.x versions.

[Argyle]

I think you'll find many people see that as one of iPhone's finest attributes. For every quality customised Android interface, there's 10 reminiscent of MySpace monstrosities.

This has always puzzled me. Why do you care about what is on someone else's phone? Shouldn't you only care that your phone has a clean homescreen (which of course is possible no matter which phone you have)?

[Mister_Bubbles]

Is it feasible for the next gen of iPhone to have that screen tech which used electric impulses to simulate texture?

[quaere]

Oh goodie, another thread where Android users who will never buy an iPhone anyway post about how they wish iOS was more like Android.

I'd wager a huge percentage of the more tech geek type Android users were former iPhone users, including myself. So yes, we've bought an iPhone.

[Vard]

LTE and better battery is all I need for my iPhone 5. 4"+ retina screen would be nice but if they stay 3.5" that's fine with me.

Pretty much this. I also wouldn't mind better cameras!

[Mariolee]

The ability to give blowjobs, it's not fair that girls already have the vibrator option.

[Forkball]

If it comes bundled with iTunes: good version

[Hoo-doo]

You'd lose that wager.

[criesofthepast]

Nothing bigger than 4 inches. I don't want a brick in my pocket 24/7.

[SSGMUN10000]

As someone who currently owns no apple product (except a broken ipod my wife had) this is what would wow me.

4.3 inch high res screen - i think that is the sweet spot
Dual core or Quad Core next gen cpu
Next Gen gpu
Completely new redesign
Slightly customizable OS
4G/LTE
Thinner

[Yoshiya]

If it comes bundled with iTunes: good version

Rumours point to that being true, possibly. Of course, I can't be the only one who thinks that Apple makes iTunes shit on Windows on purpose. Runs pretty nicely on OS X; had it done so on Windows I wouldn't have been as eager to jump. The platform annoyances add up...

[jon bones]

-same sized phone - anything bigger is useless
-more aesthetic customization
-LTE/4G


that's pretty much it. it's a solid, robust and reliable phone. i don't need a crazy GPU or anything it's a god damned phone.

[dreamcastmaster]

To be as slim as an iPod touch. Great battery life. Bigger screen.

[itwasTuesday]

Not patent every idea that pops into their heads.

[Dark_AnNiaLatOr]

BTW, do you guys think that the new iPhone will release earlier than October? I say this because of the increasing competition from Samsung. I mean I know so many people who are already dead set on getting the S3 or are debating, but there are no definitive details on the next iphone.

[Pkm]

Be in my price range :(

I always just take the "re-sign with us and get these phones for $150 or under"

All I need is stability, minor web browsing, and ability to make calls so I cant see spending much more.

[Utako]

Come with a unique hardware feature that will making using the device faster and more enjoyable.

[Victory Red]

The biggest changes I wanted to see were in iOS but they didn't happen which disappoints me.

But as far as hardware, anything 3.5" screen or above and LTE will suffice.

[Dosia]

Not be like those pictures that are floating around that make the new phone appear like a stretched iphone4.

I love my 3gs so much, but I will consider the new Nexus if the iphone ends up looking like that stretched piece of shit.

I'd be surprised if it dropped before October. You never know, it could come in September, but I doubt it. iOS 6 ships "in the fall" which technically means after September 20th. You know iOS 6 will come out day and date with the New iPhone.
