What features will future iPhone HW include?

I wonder if Apple publish their roadmap for future HW capabilities.
Personally, I'm interested in barometer and wind speed meter (Pitot tube). A sensitive, accurate, fast one.
I believe it opens a vast playground for existing applications as well as for numerous new ones.
Clearly, knowing what the HW setting would be in advance makes it easy for developers to release applications that make use of the new HW shortly after the HW release.
Another option, though less desired, is self development of the HW and interfacing the iPhone (or any other platform) via its ports. For this case my question is where can I find the technical spec of the iPhone ports? Is it available anywhere?
Thanks,
Tzur.

they do not EVER - they guard their future technologies closely.

You sign up to be a developer with Apple - see the Developer forums or download the SDK. Apple is very strict about what can b done with the Dock port so depending upon what you discover, you may have to accept that it won't work. I have no idea though what can be done with the port.
You are welcome - we are all just Users here so would not be able to help you much, if at all.

  • Should I trade my Palm Treo for an iPhone (what features will I lose)?

    I have a Palm Treo and am thinking of switching to an iPhone but am worried about certain features that I will lose by making this move.
    Can anyone let me know if these features that I will lose are correct, if they are a big deal and if there are any other featueres I am missing:
    -No cut and paste ability
    -No notes/memos and tasks synching with Outlook (is this correct)?
    -Much harder to use keyboard on the iPhone
    -Problems with synching with Outlook compared to the more reliable Treo (is this true)?
    -No video camera on the iPhone (is this true)?
    Thanks for any information.

    Despite the features the iPhone lacks, as you have listed, it is well worth the upgrade because of the features it excels in. It blows the Treo out of the water! I have owned a couple of Treo's and the capability of the unit is limited. The internet and the ability to search and obtain information is limitless on the iPhone. For one the video quality that you would get from the Treo is garbage and you can't do anything with it but view it on the worthless unit. Cut and paste is a useful option but there is ways to work around the ability. There are many app's that are not only fun but very useful. From networking to file transferring and of course gaming to pass time. I am obviously bias to the question at hand and the only true answer you will find is to search the discussions, support, iTunes and almost all of the other resources and support that Treo does not offer.

  • Under what circumstances will my iPhone be taken off the list of devices on find my iPhone app?

    My iPhone 5 and my iPad was all listed on find my iPhone app until this week I noticed my phone is no longer listed.  I checked the setting on my phone and everything seems to be turned on.

    It is possible to remove an iOS device from the find my iPhone list...

    I would go through the process of setting up the feature again to resume using the service...

  • What day will the iPhone 4S be delivered in Canada?

    I placed the pre-order of the iPhone 4S WHITE 64gb today and now i'm set!
    But I thought the delivery would be ON the day of Oct 14TH?
    When I placed the order it now says
    "Delivery: October 24th-31st."
    Anyone have any ideas of when te iPhone will be delivered?
    On Oct 14th or do I have to wait an extra week or 2?!

    Apple Canada will begin the process of shipping out pre-orders starting on October 14th. On that date, Apple will physically process the order and will have Canada Post (or whoever they contract out their shipping to) pick up the order. It will then take Canada Post some time to move the package from Apple's warehouse to your door. Apple estimates that entire process will take one to two weeks - hence their estimated delivery date to your door of October 24th to 31st.
    The only way you will be able to get an iPhone 4S into your hands on the release date of October 14th will be to join the lineup at one of the Apple Stores and buy it there.

  • Does anybody know what features of PS CC will fail on OS 10.6.8?

    I need the public help because the Adobe support expert DIDN'T know.
    When I called them to get support for an issue, I asked him please to tell me whether my issue IS or MIGHT be caused by the OS version (that was his GUESS), because I don't want to go on the mission of updating the OS and making my computer 200% slower and break Apache or something else I managed to optimize with command-line commands I don't even understand, and he re-answered three times "this PS version was not designed for that OS", so from that I extract these facts:
    1) There is NO support for using PS CC in OS below 10.7.x
    2) He didn't want to admit it, because he limited his words to the same statement.
    3) There is NO list of unsupported features.
    4) I have to update the OS to figure out and let other users know whether my issue is fixed or not with an update.
    Currently, I can't render video from Photoshop other than to a "file sequence". The option that would allow me to select "movie" or "Mpg4", which is "media encoder" is always grayed out.
    Does anyone know what features will break under OS 10.6.8?
    Thanks.
    PS: I guess after confirming I have the right OS, there is probably a few more questions to filter most users that don't meet the optimal conditions, so limiting the users they actually support to a few.
    —Do you use third-party memory? —  Errrrr!
    —Do you use anti-virus? — Errrr!
    WTF? The "render video" was WORKING FINE in previous versions. This is NOT a feature that is so hot that only new OSs can handle it so you have to update or forget about it. The feature should use the old method if my OS is not the newest. This just looks like features taken out for us to buy/update to the hotest stuff, or less-than-poor I'd say ANTI-backwards compatibility.

    Hello, it seems that support is not aware of this blog post: http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2013/06/updatingupgrading-to-photoshop-cc-faq.html#video
    Adobe decided to limit to Lion, each operating system they support means more quality assurance.
    The APIs they used for video is not supported in Snow Leopard (I upgraded just for that)
    Adding another one means more quality assurance, tests, detrimental to the new features.
    If you are a creative cloud subscriber you can also install Photoshop CS6 that has a video module compatible with 10.6.8

  • Carrier-Locked: What message does an iPhone display on a different SIM?

    Apologies if this may be a basic question, but I don't have any other "active" SIM card to test out my carrier-locked iPhone 3GS. Has someone inserted another carrier SIM card (i.e. an ATT iPhone 3GS and inserted an active T-Mobile SIM card OR Rogers iPhone 3GS and inserted a Fido SIM card).
    1. What message will the iPhone display? Will it say that SIM is not recognized and to insert an ATT SIM?
    2. Will the iPhone not function at all? (Except for emergency 911 calls, I guess.)
    Thanks. Just checking because I have an "inactive" SIM from an old GSM provider which I inserted into my iPhone 3GS and it didn't display any message. It obviously didn't acquire any signal, but I can carry on and use the iPhone's functions except to make calls of course.
    I'm thinking that's because that old SIM card from another GSM provider is inactive. Perhaps it's a different case if it's still active?
    Thanks for any info.

    I guess no one tried to insert another carrier SIM as well.
