The Evil Overlord Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Not to get my head ripped of for posting this, but most of those features are already available, (some have proven to be too gimmicky to succeed) Ian S. and Steven P. 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Miller Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 I didn't ask you for your opinion on my suggestions, I asked what you think would appear in future iDevices or what you would like to see as new features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Overlord Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I didn't think I was giving an opinion on your suggestions, was trying to delicately mention that some of those features have been around for a while As for new developments, I don't know, smartphones have become so much like miniature tablets now I wouldn't even know where to start suggesting put this in or put that in, without it being just that, a gimmick :) And I do get that I can fail at a tactful response, wasn't my intention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astra.Xtreme Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Not to get my head ripped of for posting this, but most of those features are already available, (some have proven to be too gimmicky to succeed) Why does it matter if certain features are already available in some way or form? That's a serious question too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick H. Supervisor Posted November 11, 2013 Supervisor Share Posted November 11, 2013 I know that you didn't want comments on your suggestions, but can I ask what the purpose of dual cameras and dual flashes are? Would one be wide-angle and the other telephoto? And would the dual flash just mean a brighter flash? I can't think of any revolutionary ideas that would come from Apple anytime soon. Although if more people could get behind NFC that would be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick H. Supervisor Posted November 11, 2013 Supervisor Share Posted November 11, 2013 The 5s has dual flash now...doesn't it?I'm not sure. My question was a genuine one rather than a jab, I have no idea and would be intrigued to know what dual cameras on the back and dual flashes would be used for over a single lens or single flash. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rippleman Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I imagine Siri (and other speech recognition programs) will become a lot more intelligent... not to the point of jarvis I imagine, but close on time table of 2021. Also with the abundance of cash, I would see apple leading the way in this field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buttus Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 you think it'll take them until 2016 to catch up with inductive charging? i guess that's about right... at least they're getting a bigger screen finally! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAZMINATOR Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 LG tried that with one of their opitimus phones, to take 3d pictures HTC made a phone with 3D camera that is called HTC EVO 3D. HTC EVO 3D has dual flashes and dual cameras. I still have it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riahc3 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Hello, You know that you are predicting technology in a 8 year timeframe. It is impossible for you, or any scientific research to, properally predict it. Every single technology you have listed already exists. OS X will not exist at all.

Arachno 1D Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 3D video would be a good upgrade in the next year or so as would external add ons like an iRing that notifies the user of various stuff or can be used as an iKey for Apple products Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrynalyne Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 LG tried that with one of their opitimus phones, to take 3d pictures HTC did too with one of their EVO models. It never excited anyone enough to make it a keeper and it died a silent death. Edit: I need to learn to refresh before I post, heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patseguin Global Moderator Posted November 12, 2013 Global Moderator Share Posted November 12, 2013 Why would they have OS X on a tablet or iPhone? Apple has made it retry clear that they are going towards iOS especially with more and more iOS features coming to MacOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
