AT&T has recently begun surveying iPhone 3G customers on what features they would like to see introduced to the handset. The survey also aims to discover post-purchase customer satisfaction on both Apple and AT&T, as described by AppleInsider readers, as well as asking whether or not firmware update 2.1 made any improvements.
Customers are asked to pick their top five hardware or software additions they’d like to see introduced to the iPhone, including MMS messaging, cut & paste, built-in instant messaging and Flash/Java support.
AppleInsider insists customers should not look upon this as a sign of Apple’s future direction with the 3G handset, they say “companies regularly poll their customers to determine the level of demand for particular features”. Although Apple has previously stated that they are continually looking to add new features to the iPhone’s software — when questioned on the iPhone’s lack of cut & paste, Apple stated it was a question of priority and that such features have been put on the ‘back-burner’ whilst they address other issues and features.
As we reported earlier this week it seems the next iPhone software update will include Google Street View, however it is yet to be reported we will see any of the above features many customers are requesting. We are also yet to hear of any customers outside of the US that have received a similar survey.
One particular feature I would like to see added to the iPhone would be the ability to ‘tether’ it to my MacBook and use the phone as a 3G modem to connect to the internet in places that don’t posses a WiFi hotspot.
