IPhone New features/Hardware request

Now that we have an Iphone that is essentially a personal computer, can we have additional peripherals such as a external keyboard and monitor etc We could then get some proper word-processing, spreadsheet etc software and actually use it in the office as a replacement for my normal PC/Mac ?
Perhaps one solution would be a large screen touch sensitive monitor, either with a keyboard or on its own with a built in touch sensitive keyboard. If this was mounted so that it is flat to the desk with say a 10-15 degree slope it might be genuinely useful.
Would knock the pants of Windows 7 before its even got going
Anyone else got any ideas

hehe, I saw a lady a while ago at a Starbucks with a little device the size of a cigarette lighter that was beaming a red keyboard down on her table and she was typing away on it. I worked up the nerve to ask her about it, and she said it was connected via Bluetooth to her laptop but the jury was out on how stable it was. This was last December. So, with an updated Bluetooth profile for the iphone, maybe this isn't too far in the future for it. But of course, if it could beam a picture on the wall at the same time for the monitor, that would be even cooler!

IPhone new feature request

I don't know where to submit a new feature request, so posting it here. Please refer me to a more appropriate site, if available. Thanks in advance.
iPhone currently allows up to 16 application icons per home screen. With more and more useful apps installed, there are more screens than before and navigating to a particular app icon takes a bit of time. So, it'd be nice if there is an option that allows more than 16 icons per screen (dynamic resizing of icons or a similar feature is requested). That'll allow quicker access to apps and also makes it easy to re-arrange the icons as there'll be fewer screens needed.
Any comments or suggestions appreciated.

This is indeed the wrong place.

IOS & iPhone new features questions from Android user

Hi there. I have heard good things about the new iOS 8.3 and iPhone 6 but find certain aspects restrictive . I'm an Android user for five years running and would like to explore more on the issue / owning an iPhone by focussing on things that matter to me on my day to day use of a phone:
1. Is there a custom equaliser setting that one can set via the iPhone or iPad itself without setting it on iTunes?
2. Sharing photos
I have downloaded Dropbox, signed-in, set sharing to Photos enabled and yet it doesn't show when i want to share/forward my photos. Would this sound like a bug or incompatibility with iOS?
3. Any new battery saving option (like Android) on iOS 8.3?
4. Any further improvements in terms of support for 3rd-party sharing & saving options like for instance in Shazam and Evernote?
5. I have a Chromecast and i would like to cast/stream my files so i can listen to my TV. Is there any app to do that?
6. Is there a way to save an entire article (news or a tech article) from Safari or a third-party app to another app such as Evernote or Notepad? (for reading later)
Any comments are much appreciated. Many thanks.

Have you enabled Camera Upload in Dropbox's Settings?

You can tap on the Activities icon (box with an arrow pointing up and out), tap on the More item on the bottom row (scroll to right if needed) and enable Convert to PDF. Then it can be opened in iBooks, the official PDF reader amongst other things, or install the latest Acrobat DC instead. If the article is already in PDF format, you'll find a Send To… item amongst the allowed activities.
BTW, have you downloaded or read online the full iPhone manual?

Find my iPhone - new feature is a failure ??

You may not me able to turn OFF find my iPhone, but you can turn off Location services itself....
Whats the advantage of this feature then ?????

Well, if you properly set Restrictions, that can be protected.

New feature suggestion for finder.

I'm not sure where one posts new feature ideas/requests so I'll try here first... If you have a better place please tell me.
Please add the Quick Look feature to file selection dialogs.
This is where the feature is at it's most useful. For instance, when selecting files to attach to an email, being able to quick look to make sure it's the version I want to send would be very valuable.
Thanks

New features request

Usually in software development organizations, there exists a product manager that decides (amongst other things) which new features get added to future releases. I am posting this message in hopes that the Oracle Enterprise Manager product manager monitors this forum. Site summary: five locations, approximately 800 nodes provisioned with a mix of RHEL 4.6, 4.8 and 5.3. Enterprise controller at 2.5.0.1200, hardware all Sun x86: blade, x4100, x4600 and x2200 servers.
We are generally happy with Ops Center, but in order for it to be competitive with other products going forward the following features would help us:
- the ability to select a large group of discovered assets and provision them all with the same OS profile, specifying IPs to use for each (list or range). this was possible in N1 System Manager, a former Sun product.
- the ability to re-run an update job on a set of new targets (not just re-run on failed targets). we very frequently run the same set of updates, in a specific order, on groups of nodes - it would be nice to just select new targets and not have to re-add the updates to a new job in addition to selecting new targets
- be able to specify the order in which local actions are run in updates that contain multiple action scripts. then we could just create one master update script that runs our updates in the right order
- clean up the blobs left behind on the target after an update (/var/opt/scn/sun/update-agent/blobs); on blades with small esd drives, disk space is an issue
- the ability to edit an asset and add connectivity that the discovery failed to find (particularly ELOM based machines, where discovery is spotty at best). not just manually declaring the asset and adding GB_x , but editing the discovered asset and adding the mgmtEth if its missing
- with this many managed assets we cannot enable the summary charts for each node - just too much traffic to the enterprise controller. would be nice if something could be done about this
Assuming I could select 150+ assets and tell Ops Center to deploy the given OS profile on them, then run a single update with actions in the order we require across all of them, the time to re-provision an entire site would drop from well over a month to under a week.
cheers,
-phil

Hi Phil,
These are all excellent requests, thanks for making your wish-list public! I don't work for Oracle, but I'm going to interleave some comments that may help:
- the ability to select a large group of discovered assets and provision them
all with the same OS profile, specifying IPs to use for each (list or range).
this was possible in N1 System Manager, a former Sun product.This may just boil down to how you selected the assets to provision: I know for sure you can bulk deploy OS images. You see slightly different hostname/IP options depending on if you select a folder of systems, or add many systems to the provision list manually (http://forums.halcyoninc.com/showthread.php?t=314 ).
- the ability to re-run an update job on a set of new targets (not just
re-run on failed targets). we very frequently run the same set of updates,
in a specific order, on groups of nodes - it would be nice to just select new
targets and not have to re-add the updates to a new job in addition to
selecting new targetsHave you tried creating a new Profile, and specifying all your updates in that single Profile (or do you mean something else)? The Profile can be the single place that records the updates (and their ordering), and you can execute it on-demand and target it to any hosts you want (http://wikis.sun.com/display/EM11gOC1/Updating+from+an+OS+Profile)
- be able to specify the order in which local actions are run in updates that
contain multiple action scripts. then we could just create one master update
script that runs our updates in the right orderIf you'd prefer that your master script be responsible for deciding what other script get run, you can include those secondary scripts as "Local Config Files", and leave your master script as a "Local Action". Ops Center will put those other "config file" scripts on disk for you, in the paths you specify with the permissions you want... but won't execute them. Which means everything is in place for when your master local-action script gets run at the end of the job: it can decide which other scripts get run and which don't. (http://wikis.sun.com/display/EM11gOC1/About+Local+Content).
- clean up the blobs left behind on the target after an update
(/var/opt/scn/sun/update-agent/blobs); on blades with small esd drives,
disk space is an issue I believe blobs are left behind intentionally, as a cache (and that's also how you can "simulate" patch jobs in advance)... but you may be able to tune that behaviour. I think the amount of disk space Agents use as a cache is configurable: ask Oracle support for help.

Is There a way to request new features for the next upgrade?

I want to be able to make custom tones for receiving text messages and emails... Blackberries can do this and I would like to be able to have my Iphone do this also.
Am I the only one that wants this or are there others?
Is there a place that we can request new features for an upcoming software upgrade?
thanks alot

100 New Features in iPhone OS 3.0? WHAT ARE THEY!?

I've noticed apple saying there are 100 new features in the iPhone OS 3.0. What exactly are they? I've watched the presentation video that was like over an hour long and there really are only maybe 20 new features mentioned. That is, as long as they're not counting 'cut, copy, and paste' as 5 different features since it works for mail, safari, notes, etc.
is there a list of the 100 new features? cause i want to know them

I'm so simple that all I want is universal ringtones across all apps that have "alert" sounds (text messages, email, calendar- already available on phone calls & clock). Hate the provided sounds Apple gives us, would like to be able to assign specific music or self-made sounds so that I can hear them in a loud area, that are continual until answered, and that can be set as app-specific, just like ringtones can be caller-specific. Most phones have this feature, and I would use it daily, unlike many of the new features being touted. Anyone seen any mention of this (I watched the presentation, not mentioned). Oh, and please don't be a troll and tell me to contact Apple with a request- I do it on a weekly basis. Just looking for info, not basic noob advice.
BTW, I am soooo happy that MMS will finally be provided, as it will put an end to the "old" technology vs. use an email to send pictures argument so prevalent here. That particular back-and-forth has become quite aggravating. (Don't really care that much about MMS, rarely use it, but if it puts those arguments down, good for Apple.)

Ios 5 Update New Features says that iCal now has a week view for iPhone but after updating last weekend, I don't see any week view--just List, Day and Month..How do I get the week view?

ios 5 Update New Features says that calendar now has a week view but after updating my iPhone 4 last weekend, I don't see any week view for iCal--just List, Day and Month as in the past. Is the weekly view available for iCal and if so, how do I access it?

Rotate your phone to landscape.

I am glad there was a copy paste added but it would have been nice to use your own ringtones and I don't understand why they could not use gps for the direction of the phone too.
I am sure if they can pinpoint you on the map they could tell what direction your holding the phone on the 3g.
The cam is very poor on the 3g phone it,s more like an afterthought.
I don't understand why apple did not have the function of moving your photos and ringtones with drag and drop onto itunes rather than sync to a folder.
yes there are apps you can buy but even a £20 phone lets you do all of above without added cost to the user.
and where is the software reset for clearing the memory or is that an afterthought too.
PS not picking holes it's a fact.
The HTC phone is a nice phone mate has one.

If i want to contact apple with an idea i have for a new feature for the iphone how would i do this?

Request for new feature: Login to Flickr account

I have a request for a new feature for ATV2 in the next sw update. I am hoping Apple will read this.. Please enable ATV2 to login to our Flickr accounts. The way it is, we can't see certain contacts' pictures as their profiles are set to public.
And please find a solution to never ending "Loading XXXX's Library" screen. Loading a library on the same wifi network (both for files on Mac or Airport's USB Harddrive) takes forever.
Thanks

I have an ATV2 and it was logged in fine--I had to restore a few minutes ago because it lost it's connection with iTunes Match, and now I can't log in any more. This is TERRIBLE as I HAVE to keep my photos on Flickr private, but want to have them playing on the AppleTV at home for me, friends, and parties.
Why did this go away?!?!

New feature request: Having the possibility to use different keyboard language on multiple monitors.

I would love to see a new feature to allow the use of different keyboard language on multiple monitors with the same desktop mac.
Ex.: On dual monitor desktop, use english keyboard on the left screen and french keyboard on the right screen.
So I wouldn't have to switch keyboard language all the time!
Thanks.

You're not speaking to Apple here only other users like yourself.
Your request should be directed to Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback
