    It seems that the sea of people who are speculating about the future iPhone 5 think that Apple might look to turn the display 3D incase the Nintendo 3DS takes gaming into a new 3D direction....

    iPhone 5 Going 3D?

    You think it will?

    I guess not!
    Only few more features including a better camera should be there.

    No way, that is too early as far as 3D for mobiles is concerned.

    I personally don't understand the point of having a 3D phone anyways? Just another thing to kill your battery life that much faster, not to mention, would you be carrying around 3D glasses too?

    Somehow that's highly doubtful.

    Hi guys,

    Thanks for the opinions but thought that i would chip back in a little... :)

    The technology within the present time allows viewers to be able to see 3D images without the requirement of the conventional glasses, just look at the upcoming Nintendo 3DS ;)

    Will be interesting to see whether the rumours or correct or whether your apparent limitation on a company like Apple are correct, i mean what will come next? 3D computer screens?

    Did you not read the post above?

    Nintendo are about to release the 3DS and glasses aren't needed for that so guessing it would go that way ;)

    With Nintendo you don't need glasses i would assume the would make the screen the same way, But as far as battery life and 3D I would think its not that big of an increase to the phone cause the screen already lights up you just need the different layers of screen covers to make it 3D would you ever want to buy a 3D phone i wouldn't Would make me crash my car I would think.

    I don't think they will apply 3D in any near future. What I hope, though, is that Apple in general will start working on making higher quality products again, and stop being sloppy about things like the antenna in the iPhone, motherboards and DVD drives in computers etc. They need to turn around, soon, if they don't want to get a completely bad image. They make expensive and good looking items. They should be lasting more than a few years, so they should really start to care about their product creation some more.

    putting 3d technology in a mobile phone seems a bit of a waste. especially given its multi-function nature. its not like its a purely visual media.

    But they could make it so it would work with 3D movies and nothing else, but i still cant see anyone spending 4 time the cost for a phone you can watch 3D movies.

    Well, I don’t think so that Apple will add 3D technology in iPhone 5 maybe it will increase the camera.

    Heck no. 3D Phone would be horrible. Imagine the keypad popping out at you... What did you press? Your left eye's image or the right eye?

    In general a phone should not have it. It's more for phone calls and basic tasks like texting, browsing the web, etc.

    well I think iphone 5 may have 3D because its a new technology these days and Apple always is pioneer in introducing new technologies in all their products and it always clicks for them like the touch of iphone is the best around all the touch screen phones around the world
