iphone 5 Most Wanted Features You would like to have

Here is the Rummer about iPhone before it lunches its 5th model, the kind of features that you might like to have one your iPhone

20. Enhanced voice control

We expect that in the next generation of the iOS, Apple will continue to flesh out the voice controls for the iPhone, but there's always room for more enhancements. It would be cool to be able to compose e-mails or text messages by just using your voice, no?

19. Micro-HDMI out

In March, Apple finally announced support for full 720p or 1080i HD video output for the iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4G, and iPad 2. However, you need Apple's $39 Digital AV to send that HD video (audio) to a TV or monitor, whereas many Android-powered smartphones offer a built-in Micro-HDMI port that only requires an inexpensive $5 cable to run video to your TV.

18. Removable battery

This well-known rendering of a future iPhone dreams of a model with a removable battery. That appears to run counter to Apple's current design principles.

17. Expandable memory

Not happening, but just thought we'd ask.

 16. Biometric security

It's hardly a must-have upgrade, but it would be cool to swipe your finger--instead of enter a password--to unlock your phone. It could also be combined with NFC (near field communication technology--see next slide) for making mobile payments.

Image note: Allegedly, Apple has filed some patents related to this feature

15. NFC-enabled (near field communication technology)

Rumor has it that Apple may be working on adding near field communication technology (NFC) into the next iPhone. This is sort of a bar code replacement technology that would allow your iPhone--among other things--to act as a payment device (e-wallet) or even a car key.

14. More memory

 A lot of people were disappointed that the iPhone 4 didn't come in a 64GB version (only 16GB and 32GB). Maybe next year we'll get 64GB.

13. Improved home screen

We're still waiting for a more customizable home screen, with a real "dashboard" and a better, streamlined notifications system. Android has its widgets. iOS 5 needs something similar.

12. Video chat (FaceTime) over cellular network

Currently, on the iPhone 4, FaceTime only works over Wi-Fi (yes, there are some workarounds to get it to work over 3G, but Apple doesn't officially support it). We'd like to see an option to use it over a cellular data network, and hope it's supported when AT&T's faster 4G network ramps up in 2011.

11. Flash support

It'll be a cold day in hell when Apple allows for Flash support on the iPhone. But that doesn't mean we can't ask for it.

10. Better cloud-computing support

Setting up an Android phone is dead simple: input your Gmail username and password, and the phone will immediately start pulling your Google-based contacts, calendar, and other info. The iPhone, by contrast, is still a slave to iTunes for activation and media syncing. Whether it's a free version of Mobile Me, or an online version of iTunes powered by Apple's Lala acquisition, cloud-based iPhone syncing can't come soon enough.

Yes, there are some nice apps out there, like Dropbox, that offer "cloud" functionality, but they're not as robust as they could be.

Rumor has it that Apple will indeed be revamping its MobileMe service and perhaps adding a free cloud service along the same lines as Amazon's new Cloud Drive, which gives you 5GB of free online storage (side note: there's an Amazon Cloud Player app for Android but nothing for iPhone yet).

9. Better camera

 We certainly appreciate that Apple improved the camera in the iPhone 4 (5 megapixels; LED flash), but we've seen rumors that Sony is developing an even better 8-megapixel camera for the fifth-gen iPhone.

8. Dual-core processor

With Apple's acquisition of PA Semiconductor, it's started designing and churning out its own CPUs, including the new 1GHz A5 dual-core processor that's in the iPad 2. That same processor will almost assuredly make its way into the next iPhone. (The iPhone has an A4 processor that also runs at 1GHz, but the A4 has a single-core architecture).

It's worth mentioning that LG, Motorola, and others have already released dual-core Android phones.

7. Improved 3D graphics

The A4 CPU has a Imagination PowerVR graphics chip integrated into it. Like the iPhone 3GS, the iPhone 4 uses a PowerVR SGX535 chip. But the iPhone 5 will presumably get the PowerVR SGX543MP found in the iPad 2.

For those who keep track of this sort of stuff, a PowerVR SGX545 was also announced last year.

6. More carriers

Now that the CDMA version of the iPhone has finally come to Verizon, it wouldn't be too hard to make a Sprint version. Or how about a T-Mobile iPhone?

Alas, we don't know whether Verizon's worked in any sort of exclusivity agreement into its deal with Apple, but let the rumors begin...

5. Larger screen

Rumors continue to surface that Apple will be expanding the size of its iPhone screen to compete with the larger screens on Android smartphones.

From our polling on CNET, we've found that a clear majority of our readers want a larger screen. However, they don't want the iPhone to get any bigger or lose any battery life.

We're hoping Apple can come up with the right balance, but as you can see from this mock-up, going to 4 inches makes a significant difference and is probably the optimal size for a smartphone screen.

4. Better battery life

Every time Apple puts out a new iPhone, the battery life gets better, so we expect no less from the fifth-generation iPhone. Apple says the iPhone 4 has 40 percent more talk time than the iPhone 3GS. So, if the past is any indicator, we might see similar gains in next year's model.

3. Fewer failed and dropped calls

AT&T has always had problems with its iPhone service in big cities like San Francisco and New York, where AT&T complaints seem to run highest.

Some have questioned whether it's the phone or the carrier, but either way, it will be interesting to see how Verizon's network handles the influx of iPhone users. It's also possible that the migration of some AT&T iPhone customers to Verizon will bring relief to AT&T's network and perhaps its service will improve. Let's hope so.

2. iOS 5

2. What new features will iOS 5 bring? Who knows, but we look forward to its arrival.

1. 4G network compatible

The one big thing missing from the iPhone 4 is the lack of next-gen 4G data network support, which is probably why Apple called it the 4 instead of the 4G.

AT&T will reportedly have a 4G network up and running in 2011, whereas Sprint has already rolled out its next-gen network. Verizon has also deployed its 4G network, which currently works with one phone, the HTC Thunderbolt (the data speeds are impressive). However, the Verizon iPhone 4 doesn't support 4G data.

Many don't believe Apple will include "true" 4G data support in the next iPhone 5, mainly because using 4G data networks are taxing on battery life. However, if Apple decides to delay the iPhone 5's launch date until the fall, the odds increase that it will make the iPhone 5 a true 4G phone.
