D3Live: iPhone 5 Predictions

2010-10-23
hey guys and welcome to a special edition of d3 live so today we're going to be talking about the next generation of iphone and to help kind of give you guys some ideas and some insight into it I have two special guests so why didn't introduce yourself guys hey guys I'm Adam I have a youtube channel where I review technology at youtube.com slash tech tech man TV hi I'm cyber Stevie and I also make technology videos 11 years and years and all that such so the three of us will go ahead and you give you guys some insight and can't give you guys what we are thinking about for the next iPhone whether they call it you know an iphone 5 or whatever um so the first thing I want to just go ahead and definitely talk about is you know just what really to expect as far as the hardware wise personally I don't really expect a huge upgrade i think that the iphone 4 is a very very advanced phone I don't really it's not like you know where the 3gs where it was miles behind I don't see a huge upgraded feature i think it'll probably be confined you know smaller upgrades like that what do you guys think yeah i agree i pursued on't think there's going to be too much for change between the current iphone 4 and iphone 5 probably something along the lines of the iphone 3g to 3gs that go great yeah definitely agree we just added you cameras and stuff like everybody see the matting anything major in the near future yeah I'm total agreement with you guys I think there's always gonna be room for small things I definitely think they will probably fix the antenna or they'll at least tweak the design you then probably do some smallest things that won't be surprised that they we see a new upgraded process or maybe like an apple a5 but I think it's mostly going to be smaller improvements you know yeah it simply agree yes okay so this isn't something a lot of people have been asking me about what do you guys think about the possibility of a verizon iphone when do you think you get when you guys think we'll see it I definitely think there will be a verizon iphone in the near future there's been a lot of rivers pointing to it January launch date and this report com publish an article last month earlier this month saying that apple was in the last stage of testing it so it's definitely very possible yeah doesn't have to agree there's a lot of evidence that goes that it's very possible i think we'll definitely come c 1 over the next year I agree I'm the only really question I my mind is are we going to see it in january maybe it's CES or we go ahead and just see it you know maybe june july somewhere where they Apple usually releases and that's my only question I mean I almost can see if they decide to do it in january i almost could see them doing maybe the verizon iphone could be just a standard iphone 4 but if they go ahead and wait till june yo instead of breaking their schedule so it kind of depends that's that's my main question i mean i'm not really sure about one will actually see it i guess CES would be a good place to go ahead and sit as far as you know january that's what a lot of the things we've heard the only thing though that I just kind of breaks apple's tradition i'm not sure if they do that just to you know just to announce verizon what do you guys think firstly i don't think we're gonna be seeing of rice and iphone at CES 2011 but who knows yeah yeah absolutely yeah I would definitely say probably closer to june because having analyzes it's kind of big thing so i think the way to go not kind of here when they usually announce like the major updates the iphone 4 now six of my bed mmm yeah and that's what that one thing is that you know once we do see it on verizon that's going to open up Madeline just for verizon but it's going to allow it obviously on all kinds of cdma carriers around the world so it's going to be a bigger deal than just in the United States so that definitely should be something interesting to watch yeah I agree so one of the really interesting things about the iphone is obviously every year after year is these software updates you know so every year apple continues to chip away they continue to add new features all that kind of stuff what are you guys really thinking about what we're going to see an iOS 5.0 well i definitely think we're going to be seeing a lot of stuff and I West nine-point-oh I definitely think there some sort of a wicked system like on Android I really hope that's coming may be improved push notifications as well that's what a lot of people in the morning yeah I expected to be pretty well I really like Iowa spore though there were some things that could have used changes nope they like smooth up the multitasking a little bit so I mean close an app he likes case open the multi tasking out like that and I definitely think that I always thought would be pretty good at other than I was for yeah and about the multitasking there I definitely think that needs a lot of improvement not just the way it's multitasking but the interface is just really the way you could close more than one app at a time I think a lot of the the whole the perceived lag has to do with just you it's all has to do with the home button so you know double tap the home button a thing like that and a lot of times because it's you know it's the double press and instead of near the single press it's the algorithm cut has to wait a certain amount of time to see how you're doing a single press or double press so I think a lot of that just kind of comes down to fine-tuning as far as mean they have to get it exactly right yeah definitely i agree yeah uh-uh i really i really would like to see a widget system I mean you know you look at the springboard on the ipod and the iPhone the iPad you know it's a solid interface you know it gets you asked very quickly especially with the addition of folders you know becomes outdated compared to you know what you see on you know Android which the other widgets especially if you look at the live tiles on windows phone 7 you know the other phones they're really you know moving forward to making you the home screen filled with all kinds of different things whereas you know on the iphone you look at you see icons i mean it's kind of a kind of as an end necessary step in my opinion yeah agree definitely with the windows phone 7 the live tiles look amazing and i think that's definitely a great new feature of Windows Phone 7 now on to the next one other thing that I really want to come to iOS 5 or the next hour work day would be something on the lock screen we really don't have too much on the lock screen yeah we can slide1 long again like text messages and bass calls but I really think Apple should be putting something there and the next update mmm I would definitely like to see it approved home screen on the iOS devices as well mmhmm yeah I asked so I think we're all agree with yet that's definitely probably one of the main things that Apple is going to work on now one other thing that you know I've bought and come back and forth on this for a while is whether Apple is ever going to let you sideload applications so actually the lie you not not like jailbreak your phone or anything like that but allow you to get applications that aren't from the app store and you know like take them through itunes you know they wouldn't have full access like in jail brake application but what do you guys think about the possibility of actually allow Apple allowing you to sideload drum apps onto your iPod or your iPhone yeah I'm not sure that's ever gonna really happen I can't really see that happening with Apple in the near future they're really gets jailbreaking in cydia and all that so I'm not I'm just not sure about that mmhmm yeah the same apples always very secure with their app store and something I don't worry know if they would let you use other apps or not I know the answer does that but it can be very hectic because you never know what's on the applications that's a good point yeah I just only was the main reason I've thought about this because obviously they've you know Apple's been trying to stop jailbreaking in obviously they've never been able to do it you know the jailbreak jailbreak teams have always been able to you know get back into it and you'll find new holes but the main reason I said that was obviously they they're they're putting in the new mac app store but of course on the Mac you can use the app store or you can go ahead and just download your own applications and the main reason say that was actually they would somebody I believe its engage was talking to Steve Jobs and they actually asked well would you ever allow side loading and he says well not at this time which for Steve Jobs you know usually he's like no or yes so I thought that was kind of an interesting thing he would say but you know of course we will just have to say okay so for the second segment e3 live will be taking live questions from everybody so as always every episode of d3 live is filmed in front of blog TV and we have well over 40 people in the room right now let's go and just take some questions so what is siloed actually that's a pretty good question what site loading is mostly taken from Android it's the way to go ahead and get applications not from the app store so of course android has the android market however there's nothing stopping you in most phones a couple of them do lock it down but most owns life go ahead just you know take any application that you want you know you can download and side load it so I don't know if we'll actually see that but I think that wouldn't you know that definitely would you know be an interesting feature who would kind of cut down a lot of the jailbreaking apps that we would like do you think apple will make lockscreen have more features such as weather yeah that's what we were talking about a little bit whether it would be great what do you guys think what would be some other cool features that they could put on the lock screen I personally want able to have an object for example reply to emails or your text messages and weather would be awesome to have on the long chain as well I just want a better notification system mainly there yeah I don't be nice to see like weather and email something good yeah i agree with you guys i actually like to students take the step further and actually allow your apps so if you download an app like let's say you a download a twitter client we could actually go ahead and put the twitter climb on your locks brain actually allow the applications themselves to go ahead and you know customized i think that would be pretty cool yeah that would be great as well yes they'll be pretty sweet be able to do it mm-hmm what do you think the iphone 5 camera will can get better actually yeah i think they will I think the cameras you know they're constantly especially in these phones are constantly getting better you know you know these used to be three megapixels great now is five now eight megapixel even starting to look a little bit outdated you know I probably think I mean it could I think it won't be a massive upgrade I think I mean personally don't you guys agree the iphone four cameras pretty decent for a cell phone yes mmm but but yeah that's the thing I think that they will get a lot better as far as you know every year though you know maybe you might be an 8 megapixel camera maybe you might shoot taking video so I definitely would to see life Sydney Oh increase but I don't think it'll be you know a a massive overall I guess will the iphone 5 drop calls now that's actually something that we kind of touched down a little bit I think that apples are really going to need to at least partially redesign the antenna on the next iPhone now of course when they first did it they were very excited about it you know they were saying how it allows them to have more space by integrating the antenna on the outside I think actually it could very well work as a no a pretty decent design the only thing you know is that you know I think they're just going to have to tweak it a little bit make it where if not that if they don't scrap the whole thing they might just need to tweak it so that you know there's not one place where you touch it and it kills the reception you know um great you know the problem I'm an iphone 4 user I don't believe either you have one but for me when I travel with it they're just some areas that it's worse than others for example where I live if you touch the antenna gate problem area on your phone it's not too bad but I've traveled places where it just drops immediately completely yeah I think a lot of that has to do with is that you know just just lowers your reception so if you were in a good area it might not really make it a you know a big thing but if you're on one of those fringe areas you touch it you know you might lose the signal all together so yeah I can definitely see how that would make sense is the iphone 5 wins refers to the iphone 4gs actually that we were talking about this a little bit before the show started honestly I have no idea what do you guys think the knicks iphones gonna be called the iphone 5 the iphone 4gs i honestly actually don't know yeah I don't know either oh that's way we can go with the iphone 4gs but you know has a name for GN it so and it might not be 4g by that time so maybe something like the 4s which doesn't sound like a great name yeah maybe a what there's something along the lines of a anniversary iphone since its a 50 year oh yeah well i would say that possibly 4gs if somehow they do get it on at 40 network but if not then i agree i don't know what it would be called yeah I I entirely agree i can see if they fit somehow was forgy capable which i don't really see but if it was i'd absolutely no expect them to just toss the iphone 4g no but i don't think it is so I mean I guess iphone body would be my best guess but honestly I don't really know I think we'll just have to wait till we get a little bit closer until they actually announce it the will the iphone 5 have a better graphic system yeah I would think so i think that you know every year after year apple you know updates the you know these specs as far as you know how fast it is i'm sure the graphics will be improved you know I'm really expecting to see is you know the next Apple processor so I imagine they would call it may be the 85 or whatever but i would expect knew it would probably have better graphics although the iphone 4 definitely is no slouch as far as traffic's are concerned I mean there are some really really good looking games on the iphone 4 out was it called epic circle that's that's the one yeah yeah that looks amazing it's actually got the Unreal Engine so um i would i would expect them to go ahead and improve it a little bit but to be honest I don't really think it's all that necessary I think the iphone 4 of course the ipad ipod touch 4th generation included aren't pretty solid graphics wise will it'll be more act included in the iphone 5 that's actually they're probably usually you know when they update with the new OS the probably might have you know like they had the compass app and a game center stuff like that I would be surprised if they come up with some other sort of you know pre-built application um to be honest I'm really know what it would be but yeah they're always adding more and more stuff actually a lot of people in the chin are talking that they think that the iphone the next iphone will be the iphone x I don't know that you got them an interesting name what do you guys think the iphone eggs does that sound good to you yeah that really sounds like an interesting name but i don't know if i can see apple just going from something like iphone four to iphone x the back to a number again mmm yeah i don't know what that really would relate to so sounds cool but I don't add more use it yeah I agree um will they be a homescreen and lockscreen rotation on the iphone 5 that's a great question um you know i would love to see that I think I've never actually really seen early phone platforms actually allow you to do that but I think that if any was going to anybody was going to do it would be Apple I mean you can obviously do it on the ipad by rotating it I think that would be a really interesting and useful feature to go ahead and be able to obviously neither for about a lot to you keep it from doing it unnecessarily but what do you think would that be kind of interesting to go ahead and allow you to use it and you know different orientations on your on your iPhone spin specific yeah definitely that's one of the cool new features in cydia well I should say do but yeah like a rotator and you can do the same thing yes it would definitely be interesting so yeah absolutely i don't i don't know how well as far as usability it might you might not be perfect all the time but i think it would be kinda interested when especially is especially if apps but all apps were you know had some way of rotating as well what the way it is now most apps don't a few of them do but if they really made it where everything you know if you rotate your phone everything would go over that'll be really cool my opinion so we have got that's it for this episode of d3 live again i like to give a special thanks to my guests tech tech man TV as well as site race TV so doesn't go ahead and check out their channels oh when have a link to both of them in the description so anyway guys thanks for watching
