Will the iphone 5 have better Bluetooth capability?

All current iPhones are very limited.  Specifically my car will notify me of new SMS and read SMS out loud with most smart phones but not with any iPhone because of their limited Bluetooth file transfer capability.  I've seen lots of posts complaining that phones from 2004 had better Bluetooth functionality.  Are Apple going to do anything to address this?  I'm guessing not.

I think it's pretty good now:

  • When will the iphone have a removable battery

    With events such as Sandy, we can pre-charge several batteries and swap them when we have no power so it will last several instead of one day.

    There are other external batteries other than the Mophie that are significantly less money.
    The battery life of my iPhone 5 is superior to the life of the iPhone 4 that is replaced.
    I carried a Treo with an extra battery. Pain in the *** and at best would get 2 hours more of life and it was a pain keeping track of the charge cycles. A removable battery would necessitate a larger phone, more complexity, more ways to get moisture in it and the battery life would be less than what it now has. Even MacBook Pros don't come with removable batteries anymore.
    How many people do you know who have an iPhone? And does this mean that people who have Androids are able to charge theirs but iPhone owners can't?

  • Will the iPhone 4S with Bluetooth 4.0 support the Message Access Profile (MAP)

    I ask this question as a Ford owner that uses Microsoft Sync or MyFord Touch and would LOVE for my vehicle to support reading my text messages, sending contact photos via bluetooth and finally song titles, artists & album art via Bluetooth and I believe this is the key Bluetooth profile needed.
    Any Apple experts/system administrators have any feedback? Thank you!

    I think Apple have listening to the users, i miss thiss support too !

  • Will the Iphone 5 support the Hava Player

    Will the Iphone 5 support the Mobile Hava player

    According to this article: http://www.macworld.com/article/1167240/ios_6_features_you_might_have_missed.htm l
    It does...  I saw a photo of the relevant slide that was put up during the iOS 6 announcement, but am too lazy to look for it now.
    It's possible it may not have made it into the final release. Apple never made any statements about it as far as I know beyond the slide referenced.
    Near the end of the iOS portion of the keynote, Apple showed a slide listing a host of other features included in the iOS 6 update. Among those were Game Center challenges, the ability to connect Game Center friends from Facebook, VoiceOver improvements, personal dictionary in iCloud (for adding your own terms to the dictionary, which can sync between devices), and per-account signatures in Mail. Also on the list was improved privacy, which—as a new option in Settings—will let you control which apps can access which bits of personal data, like your Contacts, Calendar, or Photos. Other features on the list included autocorrection for every keyboard,Bluetooth MAP support (which is commonly used to help cars better offer hands-free communication with Bluetooth devices), kernel ASLR (which aims to make data even more impervious to snooping from malicious attackers), custom vibrations for alerts, redesigned stores (for the App and iTunes stores), IPv6 support for Wi-Fi and LTE, word highlights for speak selection, improved keyboard layouts, alarms with songs, and faster JavaScript in Safari. Apple also says iOS 6 includes a global HTTP proxy option, which would supplant the current approach, limited as it is to per-connection proxy settings."

  • I have a 2012 Ford Focus with bluetooth messeging and I was wondering if the iphone 3gs has bluetooth messeging capabilities?

    I have a 2012 Ford Focus with bluetooth messeging and I was wondering if the iphone 3gs has bluetooth messeging capabilities?

    No. The iPhone does not support the MAP (Message Access Protocol) bluetooth profile.

  • Iphone 5 has nano-sim, will the stores have extra to swap lines?

    So the new iphone will use a nano-sim.  For those who are doing an alternate upgrade, will the stores have the new sim cards to swap us out and switch our phones to the other line?

    They do in their LTE phones, but they are micro-sims.  The new iPhone uses a nano-sim, so I hope they have plenty.

  • Iphone plan/costs and when will the stores have them?

    Actually have 2 quesitons...
    One, when will the Iphone 5 be at Verizon stores?  Seems silly to order online and have it delivered the beginning of next month if it's going to be in the stores by then and you can buy it right then and there.
    Two, I'm trying to figure out how much more my bill will be.  I currently have [with Verizon] 3 basic phones on a share plan.  This costs me about $115 (give or take $2) every month.  I only want to get 1 Iphone and keep the other 2 as basic phones.  Does that mean that my bill will only increase by $40 for the Iphone data or will it increase by $100 - $40 for the Iphone and $30 for each basic?  The 2 basic phones will not be using texts/emails/internet, they're strictly for phone calls.  That's why I can't figure out if I'm still going to have to pay an extra $30 for each of these when their usage is not going to change from what I've been paying for.
    Thanks.

    It depends what your current plan is. Family Share, or the new Share Everything plan?
    If it is the Family Share plan, I will assume that you do not have any data plans on your basic phones. If you replace 1 of the basic phones with an iPhone but keep your current plan, your bill will increase only by the price of the tiered data which start at $30 for 2GB/month. There are other tiers for more data which cost additional, though. Depends on which tier you choose to take. So your increase would be $30(or more for a higher data tier) + taxes.
    If you are currently on the new Share Everything plan, the access fee for the line with the iPhone will increase to $40(smartphone access fee) from $30(basic phone access fee). You may also want to add more data to your shared data pool since you are moving from strictly basic phones to 1 line with a smartphone. So your increase would be $10 + any additional data cost + taxes.

  • Will the iphone ever be available to a CDMA wireless network like Verizon

    will the iphone 3g ever be opened up to more than gsm network, possibly verizon which uses cdma and carries a much larger 3g coverage area than at&t ever dreamed of? i welcome any opinions or hear say, but would love a possible official apple rep answer. thanks

    HSPA which the iPhone 3G(S) has which will be leading to LTE, part of my reason to switch to the 3G(S) was because I read the 3G wont be supporting the 7.2 coming out next from AT&T. The phone has the capability but wont be able to "handle" it without consuming an extreme amount of power. AT&T will be boosting the 850Mhz band (the lower bands give way to better signal strength inside buildings) to 7.2 and from 7.2 to 21.
    AT&T has already signaled its next two moves. It expects to jump to 21 Mbps after 7.2 Mbps, and has a fourth-generation (4G) standard called Long Term Evolution or (LTE) in the wings that promises 50 to 100 Mbps of raw speed. There’s no date for 21 HSPA, but AT&T plans to have trials of LTE in place by late 2010 and commercially available service in 2011
    As for Verizon, I cant see Apple allowing Verizon to trash the phone with their crapware. I for one dont want some sort of red theme anything on my phone.

  • Is the iPhone 5 better than the Samsung Galaxy S4/Lumia 1020?

    Is the iPhone 5 better than the Samsung Galaxy S4/Lumia 1020?

    Like almost everything in this world is a matter of choice, but, if it is to logically make a choice here are a few criteria you should consider before picking up a smartphone:
    Do you really need it? - if not, the money will stay better in your account;
    Set up the budget and consider the fact that smartphones get upgrades faster than computers and laptops, will you be able to upgrade?
    Which operating system are you familiar with?
    What are your needs and expectations from the smartphone?
    What type of person you are (email/chat/SMS/Social Media-man aka. communications, multimedia, productivity, gamer, etc.) this will help you chose the appropriate hardware and check out what are your options regarding the existing applications for your needs;
    Are you always on the run or work in an office? - this will help you decide from the battery life point of view;
    If you own a tablet you might just need a simple smartphone.
    Samsung does not really innovate in terms of functionality and usability, they only copy what others do and make it their own way. Android is not a mature operating system, yet. I like some of its features, of course, but I can rely on it when it comes to productivity as I'm a person who sends 100's of emails per day and need to easily manage the messages.
    You can have the best hardware in the world but that's useless if you operating system is bad at managing those resources, you will not be able to exploit the device to the fullest and you might cry over the money you've spent :-) Nevertheless Samsung has a large market share, makes good phones, but not quite smart, they are rather... intelligent, a smartphone is smart from the day you buy it, you don't have to put it in training mode :-)
    As about Lumia, I don't have much to say, it's what iPhone had at the iPhone 4 version minus the 40MP camera and the operating system. If I want a good camera then I buy a camera, a Canon or Nikon :-) Yes, the Krait CPU, so what? That CPU is managed by a Wi*dows OS and that should say everything. I'm not against Micr*soft, they had/have their part in technology progress, but I'm more into stable operating systems, I'd chose Android over Wi*dows, yet Nokia were always great at hardware and batery life. Bad choice for Nokia, look at their sales and you will understand.
    That's just my two cents, but iPhone is the choice of millions when they chose their first smartphone: is user friendly, solid, great hardware specs, lovely screen, wonderful support, high-level security, multimedia at its best, a design that catches the eye, looks and feels great in your hand, it's light, you have millions of verified apps in the store and a nice community to tell you all these :-)

  • Is there any kind of Apple Company policy that Apple's iPhone can only be repair or service at the place from where the iPhone have bought?

    Hello,
    I'm Chintan from India. I have visited UK for study and brought iPhone 5 for me. I used it for about 16 days and now its started showing the problem of coverage. I mean, it shows "NO SERVICE" at the place of carrier name and tower symbol.
    My query:
    Do Apple have this kind of worthless service provider policy?
    I have visited the local authorized service center and they are not accepting my iPhone 5 and telling me that they can not accept it for repair or service because I have brought it from UK. I have checked my iPhone 5 status on the Apple Site and it is showing full cover of Repair and Service, then why the local Apple Authorized Service Center is not accepting my iPhone 5?
    Is there any kind of Apple Company policy that Apple's iPhone can only be repair or service at the place from where the iPhone have bought?
    Kindly help me out as I'm stuck with the so called APPLE IPHONE 5.
    Looking for the POSITIVE, SUPPORTIVE and HELPFUL reply.
    Thank You

    You should have read the warranty/support terms before you made your purchase. Had you, you would have found that iPhone warranty/support is only valid in the country of original purchase(except for the EU where warranty/support is EU wide). In your case, your warranty/support is only valid in the EU, as you have now found out...after your purchase. And, you are correct, they will not service the phone in India.
    Always been this way with the iPhone.

  • How long will the Photoshop CS6 Beta be active for?

    Hi
    I would like to know how long will the Photoshop CS6 Beta be active for. As a VFX Artist I will be testing CS6 in a production environment to improve workflow. Some of the features I want to be able to use won't happen for a few weeks yet as I'm awaiting content. I just basically would like to know that If I install CS6 now, will it expire in a few weeks or on 30 days? If it's very limited, I'd rather wait than have it expire on be before I can test it properly.
    Thanks.
