Listener Feedback

Tweets

  • Chris Oldroyd ‏@clayrussell @DonnyBenfield @dmtammaro @apollo4090 great podcast this week. Happy to hear you are back to every two weeks!

  • Ellyn Namara F*** yeah! @iOSDocked back to every two weeks! We're not worthy! We're not worthy! We're not worthy!

 

Last Week’s Roundtable Question

If you were Jony Ive’s right-hand person, what would you stress as the number one design feature of the iPhone 6 other than screen size?

  • @roburwin  a better camera, 128GB storage, thinner & a Sapphire screen.
  • Nick on Facebook - Screens fine no change there. Change the os. If we want to jailbreak our devices don't lock it down. Void the warranty fine but stop locking them up

  • @rockerchick - handheld ergonomics if that is a thing. The 5s is beautiful however squares & thinness not conducive to the hand!

  • @rockerchick though my muscle memory would hate it, switch the power button to the right side of phone on a larger model.

  • @micp3208 - @iOSDocked it would be nice if iPhone 6 had a power button that didn't fail

  • @mario512 - Battery life!
