5G iPod Wishlist


Recommended Posts

Just a far, far superior battery life. Color screen isn't needed, wireless earbuds are pretty stupid, what happens when they fall out? FM Tuner would be ok but not at the sacrifice of weight.

So from me:

20+ hours of battery life

Smaller

The wireless/bluetooth module wouldn't be something you'd plug into the iPod. It would alread be in the iPod (nothing would fall out).

I thought all this stuff sounded really good until I read Phillip's post... which kinda made a lot of sense.

Who needs all these extras when we've already got the perfect piece of kit. A further price drop would be nice though (without taking bits and pieces out of the box ie. lack of dock).

Edit: will people stop moaning about battery life. I don't think Apple currently have the technology to boost battery life by say another 2 hours.

Eh my .02

Longer battery life is still a must at least 16+ hours since i work 12 hours days

bluetooth i would say only for a wireless remote you clip on your collar or somthing to that effect i can live with wired headphones

abillity to advance to the next playlist on the remote would be very nice

and smaller size

I?d love to see wi-fi. Think about it, you walk into the range of your computer and it syncs your tunes without even taking your iPod out of your pocket. MAC filtering could be used to make sure that it syncs with the right computers (all configurable within iTunes). Also allow your iPod to communicate with Airport Express so you could have your iPod in your pocket coming back from work/school, turn on the stereo and continue your listening.

Bluetooth/Wireless headphones would be the selling point for me :yes: i've been wishing for them since I was in 5th grade :D

The one thing that might be holding it back is security. You don't want some guy next to you listening off of your iPod (without you knowing), or even worst copying your songs.

You listen to music 12 hours a day? :blink: I would get a headache after all that...

(and youre allowed to listen to music at work? :huh: )

Hmmm.....

1. Longer Battery Life - Agreed.

2. Color/Video Playing Capabilities - Playing Video on such a small screen would be pointless and that would just guzzle battery life anyway.

3. Wireless Headphnes - Thats not really an improvment. You can probably buy those seperatly and then headphones would need batterys and everything. Why need wireless headphones anyway? Its not like your iPod is ever far enough from your head phones dont work.

4. Cheaper - I agree , It is a very good product but their are other MP3 Players that are almost just as good and possiblly have more capabilties/stuff and are cheaper.

5. FM tuner - That would just add to the bulk of the iPod. The entire point to the iPod is to cary your own music anyway. But it would be pretty kool as an accessory.

6. Wirelessly trade music between to iPods - Erm...The iPod comes with a sticker that says "Please dont steal music" and then they give you a feature that lets you take music from other iPods? I dont think so

7. Removable/Chargable Battery - Yes. I think it would be useful. If they dont increase the battery life then atleast you could be able to swap it for a charged battery.

8. Smaller - Yah , It would be nice if it was smaller but all this crap you are suggesting above would pretty much prevent a decrease in size if not an increase.

But I wouldnt mind abit brighter screen.

I would like

- Slightly smaller design, retaining the same size screen (SLIGHTLY, don't want it getting like the mini's)

- Better sound quality (Better Bass!)

- Inbuilt bluetooth, whilst retaining current 4G battery consumption.

- Colour OLED screen, whilst retaining current 4G battery consumption.

- Blue neon lights behind the scroll-wheel (to light up the buttons/outer edge of the wheel), again, keping the battery the same.

- White scroll wheel.

That would make the perfect 5G iPod to me.

Huh? I was talking about wireless bluetooth headphones, if they fall out they just hit the floor.

err?? lol they already do infrared headphones for a multitude of things so doing the same thing with bluetooth is not a problem (There are already music Bluetooth headsets not just for phones no more). AWAI for instance are in the middle of making there own headset which is very close to coming to market. (I will most likely buy them if they are compatible with my iBooks internal bluetooth Dongle)

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
