iPhone v2.0 wish list

[itsabouttime]

I'm hoping that when iPhone 2.0 is released with 3G they will include GPS, many phones have it now but I think 3G speeds are necessary for the maps to update fast enough while you are traveling.

What's on YOUR wish list??? :2cool:

[wot_fan]

I think 3G is a must for the next version. Hopefully by the time that happens there will be a more power friendly 3G chip available for Apple to use. I have read rumors that there is at least one coming out soon. Let's hope the rumors are true.

The number one item on my wish list is turn-by-turn GPS. I have it on my current phone via a BlueTooth GPS unit and 3rd party software. I am still hoping for that level of integration on the iPhone V1. It would be great to have it built in though.

The number two item on my list is more memory. I would love to have 16GB of storage space so I could take more videos with me. IMHO, 8GB is more than sufficient for portable audio needs, but it is borderline for audio + video.

[Golfy Golferson]

I think I'm gonna have to wait to see what's NOT on the finished product of this one before I know what I think it's missing...
I would like the camera to be massively upgraded -- to at least 6.0 MP. But I say that for all phones in general. You can't tell me that a 6.0 mp camera takes up any more space inside the case than a 2.0 MP... I mean, look at digital cameras alone, the newest ones are like 8.0+ mp and they're SMALLER than the old ones. I think it's a conspiracy :wink:

[robhon]

Per the thread in the wireless carriers section: I want VoIP on my iPhone.

[robhon]

You know why I REALLY REALLY want VoIP on my iPhone? I travel to China frequently for work. I want to just plug my Airport Express into the hotel's internet line and use my phone just as if I'm at home.

Steve Jobs travels a lot. I think he'd probably like the same.

[wjp09]

man o man. I don't know. 8gb seems to be enough for me. As easy as it is to swap stuff on and off of ipods/iphones you really don't need to worry about having a TON of content. You can always add more, you can always take some off. As for me I don't think I will keep the videos on forever. That will definatly free up some space. Longer battery definatly

[sagerocket]

let's see. my iPhone 2.0 wish list. more memory, definitely. GPS, absolutely. VOIP would be very useful, but it's extremely unlikely anytime soon. lower prices, heck yeah! availability through other service providers, also a plus. oh, a radio, at least on new iPods, would be great. in keeping with Apple design philosophy, i'd expect this, and future iPhone iterations to focus on a simple, clean, form, without too many extraneous bells and whistles to complicate things. those hoping for built-in can openers, and magnesium flare guns will probably be disappointed. remember the very first iPod? Are the latest generation iPods *really* that much different? can't hurt to dream though...

[sagerocket]

i really hope this is included in the *first* iPhone version, but it would be essential to be able to download content directly from iTunes to the iPhone. it would be downright silly not to include this feature. sprint just upped the ante by announcing that they'll be offering over-the-air music downloads for $0.99. Apple, are you listening?

I am hoping for the second gen iPhone to have a much much bigger hard drive. Then it could replace my laptop!

[wot_fan]

I am hoping for the second gen iPhone to have a much much bigger hard drive. Then it could replace my laptop!The iPhone doesn't have a hard drive, it uses flash memory. Hard drives aren't as durable and they take more power and space. I don't think we are going to see an Iphone with a hard drive for those reasons. I wouldn't be surprised to see a new iPod that has the same form as the Iphone with a nice 100+GB hard drive though.

As far as the iPhone goes, I think the most we can hope for in the next version would be twice as much flash memory as version 1. Even if that is enough for you, I doubt the iPhone will be a good substitute for a full blown laptop. That's just my opinion though :wink:.

[HollywoodNewYork]

a usb or firewire port would be sensational. We could really use a way to have great backup and input

[xtian15]

I wish that the iPhone would have the option to toggle between using a qwerty keyboard and a normal cellphone keypad. Qwerty keyboards on cellphones ain't a big thing here in the Philippines (and in asia, I think) and we are generally more used to the normal cellphone keypad. Oh well, Apple will have more than a year before the iPhone gets here in the Philippines.

Have a nice day!

i think that is def a possibility and vvery likely, apple is known t be versatile and easy to use, and im sure they are aware of people's preferences when typing, so it mighht not come standard, but there surely will be an option or a mode change to select the numeric keypad.

[Kabeyun]

I was going to hold off posting here until iPhone v1 comes out, but I'm weak.

We don't yet really know if battery life will be the problem critics are making of it.
3G would be nice but would be a battery drain and I don't need it. It would improve web browsing a bit. If I absolutely, positively must download something big before I get home, I'm sure I can find a hot spot.
GPS'd be cute, but my car has that already and I don't usually need satellite triangulation when I'm walking around.
Another port may be handy but is not necessary: you can back up when docked, and input will be via the iPod connector.
Two megapixels is fine for "These are my drunk friends!" or "What a cute puppy." or "Honey, is this the one you wanted me to buy?" Megapixels alone don't make good photographs. Everyone wants more megapixels. A gigunda-pixel cam would just fill memory faster. I'll be taking serious photos with a device designed for that purpose: a camera. One with a lenscap, btw (buffing iPhone's lens with your handbag won't help your megapixels any).
Like Jobsy said, "Stylus, shmylus."

We don't need to ask for more internal RAM; it's inevitable and will happen anyway. (Cynic that I am, I'll bet there's already a 16 GB iPhone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence) on the shelf, waiting until January 15, 2008 when it will be announced at the San Fran Macworld Expo.)

The only hardware change I'd write Apple for as of now would be a microSD (http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Catalog(1132)-SanDisk_microSD_Cards.aspx) slot, and a juicier battery if it's an issue. I think much of what I'll want will be on the software end (this includes VoIP if people want it), not the hardware end, starting with a backup app the save not the data but the state of the iPhone.

My 2¢. Okay, 4¢.

definitely 3g which i'm not upset about the 1st gen iohone not having...because it isn't widespread as of yet, and i don't want to have 3g if i can't use it everywhere. also compatibility with slingbox would be nice as well. next up is integrated gps with turn by turn voice so i don't have to buy a seperate reciever. of course a better camera, with a xenon flash, and the ability to take video at 30fps. and of course more memory..hopefully 30gb... and most definitely a tv out feature so we can watch our videos, browse the web. show pictures/videos etc. on our tv's. that is a must to me, and can be done relatively inexpensively. anything else apple has up their sleeve i'll let them surprise me, but if the 2nd gen iphone can come close on these things, it think it will trump everything else hands down.

[Kabeyun]

I would like to see a higher MP camera also, but I don't think it's possible. Take for instance, a camcorder - not a dedicated camera. Most have the ability to take pictures, but most will take cell-phone quality pictures (.3-1 MP) unless you go to higher end camcorder (with a much better lens & image sensor - usuall CMOS which is larger). If they wanted to include a better MP camera, they would need to include a better lens and image sensor which would be costly and also add to size of the iPhone.

If you look at the lenses on current cell phones, they're very small and generally need a lot of light where the picture being taken. Getting to the point - a larger lens would be needed.

[daniel_h]

I'm surprised that I haven't yet seen any mention of a possibility of using the iPhone as an eBook reader!

I currently use a Palm (T3) with a 1MB SD card on which I carry a lot of books in Mobipocket and PDF format mainly. I also use 3rd party applications like a Chinese-English dictionary with handwritten input (you can draw an unknown character and it will try to recognise it). All this would turn the iPhone into a really useful tool - not just an iPod with a phone...

Even better would be to be able to use the built-in camera to take a photograph of a Chinese character and look it up in the dictionary!

As for text input, what's the bet that in two-three years the input will be either via the camera or via audio with automatic speech recognition...? so no need for keyboards...

[flyingv123]

hmmm... probably my #1 thing would be having at least 10gb. 8 does all right, but you're always having to update it and figure out what you want on or off of the thing for the next week. I don't want have to worry about what is and isn't uploaded to the phone. oh, and more battery for longer video would be good too. I want to be able to watch a movie and not have to worry battery life for the rest of the day.

April 19, 2007
By: Christopher Meinck (http://www.everythingtreo.com/contact/christopher-meinck/) Sling Media CEO Blake Krikorian said on Tuesday that he has spoken to Apple about adding SlingBox support for the upcoming iPhone. SlingBox allows for mobile streaming of your home television and media to desktop PC's and mobile devices.
"I think the question for them is going to be, how are they going to phase the (iPhone) out?", said Krikorian. "There's been some talk about whether it's going to be a closed device or...open, or whether they'll phase it (out), so I think it's going to be up to them to see when (streaming) might be available. But I cannot comment any more than that."
Sling Media is also said to be working on compatibility with Apple TV. The company recently released a beta version of their desktop software that adds support for Mac OS X. Sling Box currently supports Windows Mobile Pocket PC, Windows Mobile Smartphone and recently released a beta version that supports the Palm OS based Treo smartphone.

Like most manufacturers, Sling Media sees an opportunity to increase their market share if they are able to support the iPhone. It is unclear how SlingBox would perform on the iPhone, considering they only recommend EVDO or HSDPA supported mobile devices. The iPhone currently supports EDGE, but it is possible that Apple introduces support for HSDPA when the iPhone is released.

haha! looks like somebody was reading my post J/k! in all seriouness if they did this they would own the market. and hsdpa as well. man my dreams just might come true!

[p9939068]

3.5G and supports 3rd party software developers:2cool:
a better camera will be good too, to make good the screen's resolution.

I'm hoping that when iPhone 2.0 is released with 3G they will include GPS...

I don't need GPS, but am pretty sure that both a better battery and more memory will be an absolute necessity. I don't care how long the battery lasts in this first generation, it will not last long enough. My brand new iPod can barely make it through a movie. That just isn't going to cut it. What's the point of having a feature if the battery cannot support it (or barely can support it if you turn the screen dimming down, etc.)

[AJBMacDude]

Future iphone wishes: More memory and sprint compatibility. Woot!

[Cantwait4iPhone]

A couple things that would be great, I will add more later:

-3G (A must-have for v.2)

-As you said, a GPS would be nice

-Better camera, with video-taking capabilities

-iChat, iWork, iLife already built in

-Different color choices

-More phone carriers

-Better battery life and, if v.1 is loud, a quieter and colder system (so it doesn't burn a whole in your pocket like the price will :D)

-More memory (Maybe 80G :D)

-Less speculation and rumors :)

EDIT: And maybe there could be a trade-in value so people, like most of us, who dive into the first generation of the phone will be able to pay less for the next version. Kinda like a thank you from Apple. :D

[joe]

It has to have a lot more storage. A little more open to allow more apps to be installed. These two things would allow it to work more like a computer, which I think is possible and is the future of personal computing. I'm sure faster internet is already in the works, but it does have wifi.

Amen to more storage!

I would also like to see AM/FM/TV/HDTV/Sat-radio tuner and software to capture it to mp3. :laugh2:

[edlaue]

Does it make any sense to you that the company knows what is needed to make a world class phone but fails on the first or second try? Probably it sets the company up for more phone purchases on the second "improved" version.

No more sense than declaring failure before the product is even released. Let's give this gizmo a chance, folks!

You're right that iPhone v2.0 will be better, but Apple knows full well that if iPhone 1.0 bombs there will be no market for iPhone 2.0. There's no second chance for a first impression. :gasp:

Yes, that was excellently said. As I have said many times before, this product is in the good hands of good ol' Steve Jobs. It will not be a bomb and, hopefully, will have few bugs at launch. Of course, as with all new tech, there will be bugs, but hopefully they will not be many and will be easily and quickly fixed.

I would like to see an option for a Dvorak keyboard. Qwerty is terribly out of date and was designed, so that the old 1900's mechanical typewriter keys would not jam.

You know, that's a cool idea, really thinking outside the box. Personally I'm very comfortable with qwerty, but soft keys let you change just about anything. :2cool:

-K

[Spin This!]

Yeh I'd imagine "porting" those keyboard layout files in OS X to match up the on-screen display of the iPhone would be trivial. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple had his in mind when they designed the phone, mainly to support international users and in different languages/keyboard layouts to begin with.

[html]

While 3G would be great we do get edge & wifi.

[BoxKrait]

My wishlist for iPhone v2.0
1. Use any mp3 for any person's ringtone. (havn't seen anything on this, hoping it's in the first version)
2. GPS integrated w/ google maps. If I'm in my car and need directions somewhere. Only typing in one place reduces the chance of me hitting something. ;)
3. Free push gmail. (more up to google than apple)
4. At least double the memory. (who knows how much of the 8gigs will be used up by software already on the phone)
5. Would be sweet to have the battery life hit 10 hours of video for those flights halfway round the world.
6. 5MP camera. 2 is weak these days.

That's all I can think about right now.. I'm deff going to be picking this up.

[sfk11]

Often for apple products, later generations have fewer problems, when will the second generation iPhone be released and is it going to allow for enough time to workout the kinks in the first iPhone?

Yes, apple does offer Dovrak in all of its international settings. On my Mac-book pro, I set it to Dovrak and moved all of my keys around so the layout would correspond. My only concern is that the key positions on the phone would be permanently fixed in qwerty. If anyone has any insight that would be great. Thanks.

I think that's what we're really talking about, the ability for Apple to move keys around easily because they are soft keys. :smile:

[DaveNYC]

Future iphone wishes: More memory and sprint compatibility. Woot!
Agreed. To elaborate further, future versions will undoubtedly have more memory, but what I really want is an iPhone with a slot for an SD card. This opens the door to many possibilities, such as being able to watch a borrowed movie.

And I hope future iPhones will give one the option to chose any phone carrier they wish.

Seems like you were being a tiny bit sarcastic, but tell me if I'm wrong. I seriously advocate Apple products, but I have also been a technician for quite some time now and it seriously is in the coding and the way the OS is integrated with the hardware, etc. Some OS's are built stronger than others and some (in my oppinion) need to get their programmers together and smack some sense into them and advise going back to the drawing board. It truely makes the difference. All OS's, REGARDLESS of platform, have issues in the beginning. They fix them, and all we can say is "duh!" and they get better and learn from their mistakes.

Just my two cents.

[Kabeyun]

Seems like you were being a tiny bit sarcastic, but tell me if I'm wrong.

Actually, I wasn't being sarcastic. I was just pointing out a humorous implicit contrast to the posters claim that "often for apple products, later generations have fewer problems." (The implication being that for other companies, such as Apple's rival, Microsoft, later generations have more problems.) Not saying it's true, but I found the juxtaposition funny. I do have my opinion, though. :wink:

Interestingly, you seem to have made a good, cogent, concise argument favoring Apple's development over Microsoft's.

I really agree with your thing about the camera. The iPhone isn't to replace your camera, its to replace your lame broken RAZR. and don't tell me you don't have a RAZR and don't tell me its not broken, because everyone has had a RAZR and everyone has broken one. And everyone has to shield the screen from the sun when you look at it becuase the screen has all kindsof dirt or something in it. 2 MP is fine for a camera and its intended purpose on a cell phone. And besides, if you think your not gonna be able to change the resolution on the camera to a high quality, your wrong.

If you want a Camera with a cell phone on it, call CANNON. if you want a cell phone with a camera on it, get an iPhone.

[Somekid231]

I'm surprised that this hasn't been talked about yet - or at least I haven't SEEN it been talked about...
But how about remote desktop features? It would be great to be somewhere traveling, and be able to acess my home MAC (files, iTunes) And control my desktop wherever I am.
Or perhaps something that automatically snycs it no matter where you are. i.e. I update my iCal on myiPhone and it automatically updatesd my iCal at home. I think Steve Jobs elluded to this sort of sync-ing - but it will be interesting to see how well it works out.

thoughts?

[narniaexpert]

1. More memory!!!

I'm with you on these types of features. I think the iPhone is going to be much more than a phone. More like an ultra portable computer, leapfrogging pda and tablet.

[lmw]

all great suggestions - narnia's got it right...but isn't it funny that we're discussing gen2 when the original isn't even out yet!

[cobalt24]

EXACTLY "Somekid", that's what I've been thinking. Syncing with .mac (which syncs to your desktop) seems totally viable. And remote desktop would be even cooler. "Oh, I forgot that file at home!!! I knew I should have xferred it to my phone before I left... oh here we go..." you know?

:-D I hope!!

And an upgrade to v2 of the iphone would be nice (meaning a discount)...

[cobalt24]

oh.. and I know it's really pointless to be discussing v2 when v1 hasn't even been released.... but I guess we can all dream... ;)

I do think much of this will be software-enabled.. though of course the antennae need to be present for 3G, etc.

[nvenice]

3G, video, more memory, gps and maybe a lower price and multiple carriers. That's what I'd like to see, if I live long enough.

I won't be getting iphone until 2.0 comes out w/ video recording w/ 5.0MP!! If not, i am going w/ Nokia!

The N95's video recording isn't as good, as many people expected. In 2007 the technology so modern, so it's not difficult to make a phone, with better video recording.

N95 video recording is the best out there in term of cellphone. I watch a lot of videos so i know what i am talking about. 5MP of Nokia compare to 2MP of iphone is a no brainer.

No-no, you've got it wrong! I know, that the N95 video recording is the best, but i mean that in 2007 the mobile manufacturers "have" the technology to make much better video recording. It's a fact!

And in 2008 the technology is even better...so is 2009 and on and on...that's a fact!

I'm hoping that when iPhone 2.0 is released with 3G they will include GPS, many phones have it now but I think 3G speeds are necessary for the maps to update fast enough while you are traveling.

What's on YOUR wish list??? :2cool:

I just want they can increase the pixel quality & music storage:wink:

The ability to record video.

Stereo bluetooth (A2DP) has GOT to be on the wishlist. Hate the wire.

[thewuster777]

Oohhhh. yum! stereo... bluetooth... Something that would be really cool is widget syncing. Custom widgets for your needs and you would Select which ones to download from iTunes. In addition, and Dev community behind it to develop a bunch of them.. of coarse... maybe thats why Apple opened web app development for the iPhone.

My dream list of features: SDHC Slot, Dual Slim slots, GPS reciever, 10MP camera, HDMI out (YES! lol), Paralels Mobile (lol!). Of course this is probably impossible now, but i bet one day these will be standard lol.

I'm not reading through 8 pages so I'll just post my opinions. I'm in UK and I won't buy a phone without 3G, my last two had it and I'm not taking a step backwards since I use the net a lot. Wifi is alright when you're sitting in a bar or tea shop that has free Wifi (or on the bog in a Wifi enabled house for that matter) but the rest of the time it's no substitute for 3G. Also I want GPS, a removable battery, homebrew without hacking it, and a choice of network operators (not just one that's gonna squeeze me for everything they can, like a two month contract).

I would want a 10GB, 20GB etc. version so I can store my music there. I would also upgrade the 2.0 megapixels to something higher, like 5. This would replace having a camera completely, and I'm sorry, some people DO have a lot of music all the time...I know I have over 8GB.

[Twinnie]

I think that the flash based memory only thing in the iPhone has something to do with lower battery consumption, so you may be out of luck for a while. As for a higher MP camera, personally I really don't see the point in having a camera take photos at a higher resolution than your monitor can display them. I have a 3.2mp camera phone but it's always turned down to 2mp. If I didn't then I'd just end up resizing them all. They don't need more megapixels, just a better 2mp camera.

What's the difference between 3G and EDGE? Aren't they just different versions of sim cards? I'm confused...

Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) is one of the third-generation (3G) mobile phone technologies. Currently, the most common form uses W-CDMA as the underlying air interface, is standardized by the 3GPP, and is the European answer to the ITU IMT-2000 requirements for 3G cellular radio systems. UMTS, using W-CDMA, supports up to 14.0 Mbit/s data transfer rates in theory (with HSDPA), although at the moment users in deployed networks can expect a performance up to 384 kbit/s for R99 handsets, and 3.6 Mbit/s for HSDPA handsets in the downlink connection. This is still much greater than the 9.6 kbit/s of a single GSM error-corrected circuit switched data channel or multiple 9.6 kbit/s channels in HSCSD (14.4 kbit/s for CDMAOne), and - in competition to other network technologies such as CDMA2000, PHS or WLAN - offers access to the World Wide Web and other data services on mobile devices.

Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) or Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS), is a digital mobile phone technology that allows it to increase data transmission rate and improve data transmission reliability. It is generally classified as a 2.75G network technology. EDGE has been introduced into GSM networks around the world since 2003, initially in North America.
It can be used for any packet switched application such as an Internet connection. High-speed data applications such as video services and other multimedia benefit from EGPRS' increased data capacity. EDGE Circuit Switched is a possible future development.
EDGE Evolution continues in Release 7 of the 3GPP standard providing doubled performance e.g. to complement High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA). In addition to Gaussian minimum shift keying (GMSK), EDGE uses 8 phase shift keying (8PSK) for the upper five of its nine modulation and coding schemes. EDGE produces a 3-bit word for every change in carrier phase. This effectively triples the gross data rate offered by GSM. EDGE, like GPRS, uses a rate adaptation algorithm that adapts the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) according to the quality of the radio channel, and thus the bit rate and robustness of data transmission. It introduces a new technology not found in GPRS, Incremental Redundancy, which, instead of retransmitting disturbed packets, sends more redundancy information to be combined in the receiver. This increases the probability of correct decoding.
EDGE can carry data speeds up to 236.8 kbit/s for 4 timeslots (theoretical maximum is 473.6 kbit/s for 8 timeslots) in packet mode and will therefore meet the International Telecommunications Union's requirement for a 3G network, and has been accepted by the ITU as part of the IMT-2000 family of 3G standards. It also enhances the circuit data mode called HSCSD, increasing the data rate of this service.

I think that the flash based memory only thing in the iPhone has something to do with lower battery consumption, so you may be out of luck for a while.I fail to see why: SanDisk intros 64GB flash drive for notebooks. (http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/06/04/sandisk.ssd.64gb/)

That's 64GB! Plenty big enough to make the iPhone 2.0 consumers ecstatic!
