What can they do? I don't know, but I hope something. Here are a few ideas off the top of my head:
- A projector
- A kickstand
- A scratch-proof, more durable shell (would love to not need a case)
- Some new way to make the phone small in my pocket, but big when I use it (flip?). I want a bigger screen, but don't like the idea of actually carrying a big phone. I think one of the makers needs to address this and I prefer it to be Apple.
- USB jump drive port
- Way better internal speakers
- Better headphones
- Super thin
- Waterproof
- Replaceable battery
- A more interesting UI as this one is boring and outdated. It's time for an overhaul. Or at least a few factory template options.
With Apple's billions and so many competitors with comparable/more innovative products, I don't think it's unreasonable to hope for something interesting this time around. Especially since they just coasted with the 4s.
