Maybe it's just because I'm Dutch but can you explain what a lanyard loop is?
Got a tip for us?

Really, what could Apple do for the fourth gen iPhone, hardware-wise?

Let's say for instance that you want to attach a strap on your phone to carry it around your neck or arm, you won't be able to since the iPhone doesn't have the little loop thing to attach the lanyard. Other phones have this to attach straps or little charms to it, for example.

Whatever they do, they better try hard. Some newer phones are making iPhone looks like a crap. Look at HTC HD2. beautiful machine.

Only for brightness, the colors seem to pop, but again outdoors its useless.
Samsung Omnia HD
Nokia N85
Nokia N86
and a few others use AMOLED and in outdoors (even on a cloudy day in N.A.) its hard to see and full brightness.
6. Video Camera (VGA/1.3MP). This would be great to have an iChat app built-in for video conferencing. Many business in today's economical climate have already done this in the office, I see no reason why 3rd party Cisco/Polycomm/Avaya/etc can use this for video conferencing (upscaled to HD) for important office meetings. This'll be great for Schiller, Jobs, Ive, & team to have impromptu meetings while in hotels abroad.
7. Increased Battery capacity; more frugal power consumption chipset.
8. Higher resolution (800x480)?? May not be needed at all though.
9. 720p/1080p Video output capability. m4p's to be on device and played on external LCD/TV's. Again may not be needed.
10. HSPA+ support with either 10Mbps down/2Mbps UP -or- 21Mbps Down/5Mbps UP. We will NOT see LTE on July 2010's iPhone as networks will still only be either in-house trialing or being built & tested. Verizon Wireless, Rogers Wireless, Telus Mobility, Bell Mobility, AllTel, and a few others around the globe (NTTDoCoMo incl) will not be ready for official services until LATE 2010 (December) or mid 2011.
Cheers.
There are improvements in firmware/software for iPhone OS needed, but that is for another thread.
NOOOOOOOOO!!
that's one of the reasons I got an iPhone and NOT a blackberry. I like how simple the actual decide is. I want as few buttons and lights and other superfluous things on the phone. it buzzes whenever you get an email or txt
however, I would like if a notification for emails came up, like the way they do for txt messages
yeah I forgot about missing Wireless N, and 512MB of RAM. I only what that RAM increase (and really only needed) if 4 Apps (only 1 game) could be run at the same time: outside of push email, mms, calls, and sms.
Also I'd like to have the following storage configurations:
32GB Lowest
64GB Mid-Tier
128GB Top-Tier [videos and podcasts are becomming VERY much in demand]
^ the next iPod Touch's should also have this configuration; even a 150GB model that kills of the iPod Classic lineup.
how many of these fing threads do we need! June we will know!there are already many speculation threads one started yesterday!
Oops!! Looks like no one agrees with your attempt at thread moderation. Hope your feelings are not hurt.
Back on topic, I like most of the above ideas. I wonder if they make just a little thinner with better battery life.
I bet the next iPhone will have similar processing and RAM specs as the iPhone 3GS but with a new external design and maybe 1 or 2 hardware features not found in the 3GS.
The reason I say this is because the iPhone 3G had almost the same processing power and RAM as the original iPhone except the 3G had 3G speed, GPS and a case re-design (which was actually needed for better reception)
So I'm voting for a new case design with 1 or 2 hardware specific features. They're not going to double the RAM and speed again until the 5th iPhone.

FM Radio (ideally digital). If it can go in the Nano it can go in the iPhone.
Double RAM, more memory, better camera chipset, a flash, dedicated camera button, wireless N, maybe a front facing camera, better battery, better compass, gyros.

Your constant smart-arse sarcasm and scathing remarks across the forums, are REALLY childish and irritating. People like you are NOT welcome at MR, ever. I'll keep reporting you, every time you either flame, insult or remark sarcastically - ok?.
The iPod touch 3G already has FM receiver built in

No it doesn't. It's chipset is capable of decoding that input, but given it has no physical hardware connection between that area of the chip and anywhere for a suitable ariel to be attached it's not a radio.

I find it hard to understand why there is a need for a flash on a phone, its not as if its going to light up a dark room. Flash on 'Point and Shoot' cameras are not good for subjects further than a couple of feet, how can flash on phones be useful is a little hard for me to understand.
Anyone care to explain why and in what circumstances would a tiny flash be useful on a phone?

Infra Red would be great to see.
As a Realtor it would be the solution to carrying a separate GE suprakey to open lock boxes along with the extra cost.
The iPhone is great for so many things for a Realtor but this would open up thousands of new customers who can't move from their clunker phones that have IR.
Forward facing camera to use with Skype/iChat yes please.

Yes it DOES have the receiver, built in. Whether or not it is connected and has assosciated circuitry connected, is not what I said - it DOES have an FM receiver as part of the broadcom chip. Tell me why they'd choose a chipset with FM receiver, if it were never to be used?...
Volume production/pricing
I want my next iPhone to be thinner, have longer battery life, and a higher resolution screen.
Oh, and a can opener too. Definitely a can opener
Well I think you're PARTIALLY correct, but I can only think they HAVE got radio capability inside.
Any indoors location taking a picture of someone two foot away?
My pre-iPhone handset had a flash, with which I took many hundreds of photos. I think on all of about four of them I didn't use the flash on it.

how about call quality?
after that I'd like (now imagine me sitting on Steve Job's protein malnourished knee):
FM radio
faster processor
up the camera up another megapixel or more
more memory
limited background processes (unlimited is just asking for trouble)
flash (let me choose to turn it on or off)
dual boot into windo err just joking
tactile touch (yeah a difference between soft and hard taps)
improved speech recognition
now in terms of accessories:
photo flash (yes I want to remove it incase the bulb goes out)
front facing camera (I might want to conference sometimes)
bluetooth keyboard, mouse, gamepad (this will make games a loooot better and good for typing stuff up in class. Imagine using a ps3 controller on the phone)

Pressure sensitive screen (I am a colours! and brushes user and I'd love this, there would be other possibilities too- and yes it's possible with capacitive screens, afaik) with support for accurate stylii (but still designed for fingers ofcourse, just the option if wanted.)
Better battery.
