How could Apple possibly upgrade the iPhone 4?

Its great. They would not upgrade screen res, camera or processor (very unlikely). Aside from fixing the antenna issue what could they do that would make it such a worthwhile upgrade?

The iPhone 4 list of recommended improvements are too long to cover in our lifetime!!!

More Durable! (Apple owns LiquidMetal, so use more of it on the iPhone)
Unlock the iPhones at customers' request!
Toggle switch to disable 'Apple Kill Switch'!
Hot swappable batteries!
Stylus & Physical Keyboard option.
More Tethering options! (not paying $20/month to AT&T)
Enable use of other Bluetooth devices! (TV Tuner, GPS, Keyboard, Mouse, Cameras, etc.)
... much Much MUCH MORE!!!

Why swappable batteries? why not just batteries that go 1000 hours standby?

2	Facetime over 3G, better front camera, maybe 1080p video and an 8 - 12mp camera. maybe a bit more ram too answered Nov 01 '10 at 15:59 Tim Fontana 15.2k●135●198●367 increasing the mp on the camera wont do much, unless they use a larger surface area on the chip... (Nov 02 '10 at 11:40) trueb

He has a point though, all those thngs mentioned would no doubt make it better, but is it really going to make current iphone users switch? I don't think so.

They need something new that the current iphone can't do. For instance the next ipad having a camera is going to make a good few people switch.

How do you know they won't update the screen res, camera or processor? Knowing Apple they'll upgrade the processor at least. They could also update the front facing camera to a higher resolution.

Obviously I don't know but its unlikely as the current screen res is overkill already. Camera they said when they released the iPhone 4 and processor does not need it. THey still might do. Maybe a RAM upgrade?

0	Not use glass on the front and back. It looks awesome, but very easy to crack/break. :/ answered Nov 01 '10 at 19:19 Justin 8.4k●104●143●222
