Apple should have gone with 16:10 so it would be wider when holding it portrait style

Things I would have liked to see:
- Even better battery life
- NFC charging (wireless charging)
- A larger screen (even though the size is right for most, I personally would like bigger)
None of those are revolutionary though. I'm not sure what kind of revolutionary changes everyone is expecting over 11 months since the iPhone 4S.
I also hate the double standards. When the Samsung Galaxy S3 came out it wasn't revolutionary I didn't see 400+ post threads about it.

Samsung hadn't had a long history of proclaiming revolutionary, nor does it have a slew of fans ready to claim even the slightest thing is "ahead of the curve".

You can run Linux on it, for one, and the extra RAM really helps.

It's a part of it.

That said i did check... despite the "odd" resolution it is a 16:9 display so the new iPhone 5 should "Handle" video just fine, that said scaling is still going to be an issue, Couldnt Apple just have done 720p like everyone else?
Nope. Otherwise you'd have black borders on the sides too.

That in of itself is an excellent point actually.. what IS left to do that is revolutionary? Perhaps we expect Apple to show us what revolutionary is..

What I guess I wanted to see:

1. Super-high res display, Not 1156x640, but something more along the lines of a 1080p display, pushing the bounds of pixel density higher like the iPhone 4 did, at the very least give us a 720p display frown.gif

2. NFC charging standard, this has been around for ages but yet I dont see it on enough devices frown.gif I'd love to just plop my phone on something and have it charge.. Apple is the perfect company to do this too...

3. Apple revolutionizing Cell Networks somehow, either announcing a partnership with one to deliver the iOS experience (Absolutely no limits on anything for a good reasonable cost) or launching their own, or even that they were working on something related to this...

Actually number 3 is the one that I would most like to see, cell networks are the problem, not the devices

That's the question. Is it going to shrink 720P videos or stretch 480P?

I'm thinking more along the lines of youtube and other video sites than something that's imported to the device from a computer. The video compiler is going to take care of that anyway.

For me id rather the extra ram, I love multitasking on my phone, watching youtube videos, reading stuff in safari and messaging my friends across multiple applications, 1GB of ram on my Nexus actually runs thin sometimes...

Thats one area i must say Android is far superior, multitasking smile.gif

Can just imagine Apple encoding films from 1920x1080 to 1156x640 on iTunes and selling them at a premium with the label "iPhone 5 ready"

Ewww to stretching 480p, That will look absolutely horrible...

And yes you can see the difference between 720 and 480 on a smartphone!
