Have a look at The Complete iPhone v.4 Rumor Roundup - Iphone4g - Gizmodo then decide what's in and what's out.

Place your bets.

I'm putting a pound on the multitouch case making it in, my iPhone could be my Magic Mouse right now.

Camera flash.

Small changes for a big difference.

TBH, I couldn't give a ****.

My private N85 does more than I need and I like it.

My works Blackberry lets me take pics, record crimes, search the police national database, look-up previous jobs which are linked to any I attend, and a lot more than anyone outside of the police would need.

iPhone? If it was that kgood, we'd have been given them instead of Blackberry's. After we've spent a quarter of a million £s on developing a platform, I cant see us switching to the iPhone.

As much as I don't like the Blackberry, I can't see the iPhone offering anything advantageous. What can the new/next one do that would benefit me?

Dedrater

Nothing at all, they are just expensive, contracted gadgets.

tathan

it'll have a lovely interface that doesn't allow you to do anything?

Funkii Munkii

Still using my Sony K800i

Still makes calls and takes pics, brilliant

I have a pc with a 23" screen for all that other crap far easier to read the screen for an old ******* like me

Dingdongler

Maybe they'll get it to work properly as a phone?

Just waiting for Jack to come and tell everyone how they are all wrong now! lol

Can't wait.
A higher res screen, LED flash for the camera (upped to 5mp) and a front camera for vidchat/webcam function.
My 3GS will be a year old in June so hopefully the new one will be out/announced by then

My iPhone works perfectly as a phone

I'm an ex-blackberry user, and while I liked my blackberry - as a "private" user, the iPhone is streets ahead. I accept that for business use, the increased flexibility RiM provides over Apples "don't you dare touch ANYTHING!" obviously provides its benefit in that environment.

My personal take - as someone who carried their iPod everywhere with them. The iPhone is the only device I now carry on me with a good headset. It is the first time where internet browsing on the move actually makes sense to me (although it's not perfect and I would never claim it is - but then neither is any other handset out there right now..).

The one thing that underlined how good a design and handset the iPhone is was when I gave it to my 64 year old Mum to have a play with. She's had a mobile for years but has always suffered from the fear of "breaking it" - within a few minutes she was tapping and sliding her way through the interface doing all of the things that would have took me months to have taught her on a conventional handset. While some techno-elitists might laugh at that and whine about Apple not supporting the latest Alpha-Nine-87 Sub-level web interfacing language - or some other nonsense thats irrelevant to 99% of the human race; the bottom line is that the iPhone is a very good handset with an extremely good user interface.

What would I like to see the new iPhone have? Increased storage at decreased price, a better camera, support for java (kinda essential although I understand the security concerns).

To be honest who gives a flying **** what it does its a phone ffs

It will be nothing groundbreaking hardware wise is my guess

Larger capacity, a better camera with flash, it will slightly taller but not wider with a video/chat facility and a better screen. Faster processor etc

Apart from that the changes will be in the OS

My one gripe is in the mail client. I want to be able to select multiple emails and delete

Xx-IAN-xX

Your point being

It is getting a bit boring now

Now to be fair to JackClark he usually puts these threads in computer related so can only imagine he has put this thread in here to get a reaction.Maybe its time we had a Mobile Phone section .Come on mods sort it out

StickyMicky

They are knocking them out faster than Nokia nowadays

The reason the blackberry platform was developed is that its the only one that CESG (the gov security part of GCHQ) had tested and certified for restricted material...

the 4gs is at least a year away at the moment apple are concentrating on their new tablet at the moment.

i think they have lear'nt their lesson about poor battery life though it's roumered it will have a removable one.

i wanted to go for the i phone but point blank refuse to pay for a handset, get stuck in a 2 year contract and have a poor deal regarding mins from the network.

i went for the new nokia n900 and it's fantastic completly different now they have ditched the symbian system and a full proper mozilla web browser, oh and the biggest thing i've had it 2 weeks and still on the first one. it's worth a look.

Hysteria1983

Also I would like it to support flash files.

I can do without the camera having flash as I have a much cheaper alternative than using my i phone.

I don't like the idea of wapping out my i phone to take pics in a dark and possibly busy environment.

deanb1980

so i suppose your blackberry takes credit card payments for on the spot fines then.

Hmmmm that will be a no then

Snazy

I sincerely hope that is NOT the case.
As Jack said....


lol and why would it want to do that? Cops have never taken on the spot payment for FPN's.... But you might have just given them an idea lol

That said, you will probably find that both iPhone and Blackberry browsers will handle secure payment sites, to pay your FPN online, so in theory, yes you can do that lol

JackClark

Go to the Inbox click Edit - top right - select as many as you like then delete or move.

Snazy

As for the spec of the new one, im guessing they will add a few things that people have been calling out for over the generations, the multi touch case does indeed look interesting but not sure about its value as a function. Live and learn eh.

I would also assume a few more mega pixies could be rammed in there for the camera, and the AMOLED screen. Or maybe thats too many jumps in one go?

JackClark

I'm pretty sure this whole thread will disappear if you block me.

I'd rather the thread stayed here as it's non-scooby related and we don't like kids in the computer room. Please don't post spam the thread, leave it instead.

JackClark

I'm still running with my Magic Mouse idea, why not add a laser to the front and multitouch on the back. If there's space for a front camera there's space for a laser. The dimensions of the mouse and the iPhone are similar, the increased height of the mouse could allow a larger battery and a better lens. Charging turns it into a wired mouse, simple.

That's enough for now, I just found myself holding my mouse to my ear

I'm hoping this will be the big news, and of course backwards compatibility with previous iPhones, hardware limitations aside is hard to bet against.

No Jack that is not the same as being able to drag and select multiple emails.

I get so many emails a day that the ability to swipe/drag to select more than 5-6 (which is the most you can do with the current selection method given the screen size) and then delete

If the sources are correct, then it will be ALL about the OS and little about the hardware. Yes we all like a nice new hardware refresh every year,yes we all want a better camera and a few gadgets to play with but the beauty of the iphone has always been the OS and how it integrates with our daily work/social life. People may joke about there being an app for that etc, but the battery on mine is always getting mullered simply because the OS/apps is so damn useful

I think the biggest hurdle they have to overcome and the one thing at the top of my wish list is the multitasking. If they improve the processor (no they wont use the A4 inhouse one yet) and tweak the architecture then I dont see why not.

ScoobyWon't

I doubt it, but as I haven't dished out any on the spot fines...

Besides, I was just trying to bait JackClark
