Thoughts on the Pending iPhone(S)

Things I Care About: 

  • How usable Assistant will be. Voice recognition technology has sucked since it was introduced. Have Apple and Siri solved this problem?
  • iMessage: Can it replace the Whatsapp/imo/Beluga/SMS setup (ridic) I currently have?
  • Battery life: How will the battery handle the rumoured heavy voice recognition usage, HD video recording, and LTE? 
  • Better video transfer: iMovie was cool, but transferring it over to my mac made me feel like a Windows user.
  • Bigger screen: Screen sizes are everything. Just ask the iPad.
  • Carrier Lock: With most carriers now carrying the phone, will carriers still bother locking it?

Things I Don’t Care About: 

  • 8MP Camera. There comes a point when the number of megapixels don’t matter anymore. For me, that number was 5. A low-light sensor improvement would be nice though.
  • Teardrop Form Factor: the iPhone4 is currently sexiest phone in the world. There’s no need for change.
  • iCloud Music: I’m Canadian, so selection will probably suck.
  • 64GB Memory. There comes a point when memory doesn’t matter to me anymore. 32GB is that point for phones. I don’t need 10 Twitter apps anyway and it’s a good push to load your pictures.
  • HD Angry Birds. I don’t need more kids asking to play with my phone. I need all my battery power for updating my Facebook status.
  • NFC Wallet: I’m surprisingly low-tech when it comes to my wallet. My credit card doesn’t even have a chip in it because I don’t want to remember another PIN. Besides, Tim Hortons doesn’t even accept Visa, you think they’d accept my phone? 
  • Adobe Flash Support: You shouldn’t care either.
