As we approach an anticipated September Apple announcement of new iPhones, the MacJury panel of Shelly Brisbin, Peter Cohen, and Rob Walsh join host Chuck Joiner to contemplate their slate of desired features. Forget the rumors, the group discuss real-world possibilities and probabilities, from price to size, camera to processor. Find out what they think will happen to the existing models, and what would make them upgrade their current phones.
