What would you like to see different for the iPhone 5?

[Gregoris]

Don't know how true it is, but I just read that the iPhone 5 will support HSPA+. From 7.2 Mbps to 21 Mbps. Has anyone else heard this news?

yes, there is a post about that taken from a (chinese?) site

I hope it's true. As good as the next model will be, it shouldn't be restricted to just 3G speeds.

I hope so too! usually apple is restricted by what ATT or other carriers can even offer otherwise I bet apple would be moving much faster

I'm new to iphone, but not new to using itunes. I HATE ITUNES! Make the iphone 5 so you don't have to use itunes to download ringtones and text tones. For the supposed leader in smartphone technology... Why are we limited on versatilty of downloading tones. itunes is like an anchor dragging the iphone down. Just my opinion. I'm sure many will disagree.

+1 for your post.
Apple knows all the troubles with iTunes and that's why they are providing iCloud. But still it's half way an iTunes free solution, I hope that better options will be implement within iCloud to the stage where we will have the option to by pass iTunes.

there are already itunes alternatives but I agree I think you should be able to select any mp3 and use as a ringtone, also in ios 5 you can do everything with out a computer and itunes

??? Everything? What about backups? Restoring backup? Restoring the iOS? Activating the phone? Syncing in outlook contacts? I'm not sure about all these but I believe that we still need iTunes for a good while for some rare stuff though...

backups > Icloud
restoring the os > you can do over the air
activating the phone > can be done with no computer as well..

if you watch the WWDC keynote and look at the part where they mention "No pc" you will see

I saw that part "No pc" with iCloud 5gb and an email account. I just think that iCloud will not be fully operational by the time iOS 5 is release, actually part of iCloud is working since downloaded apps songs etc... from iTunes can be share automatically on other devices, but that's it. Awesome if it comes really to be pc free after iOS 5 release that's what I eyeing actually. Tired of iTunes too.

I believe it will be ready.

For the us market maybe, not for the rest of the world. That will come gradually. There are still a lot of work which need to be done for the user to be able to sync to iCloud their multimedia data which are not purchased via iTunes. So they are working on it, but for the us market first.
