The one iPhone 5 feature I want the most (video)

Quick: What’s on your iPhone 5 wish list? A bigger screen? 4G connectivity? Better battery life?

Phbbblltt. Those are no-brainers. What I really want is an iPhone that can stretch to meet my every need — and I don’t mean that figuratively.

How awesome would that be? Mostly I’m just impressed by the quality of the video, which looks less like a static, CG-powered simulation and more like someone playing with actual hardware.

What do you think? Is there anything here that might actually come to fruition? I think some kind of wireless-charging solution is long overdue, but I’m not seeing much value in a fingerprint scanner. As for the rest, well, I’m afraid that’s just a pipe dream — at least until someone invents liquid glass.

While we’re on the subject, check out Scott Stein’s iPhone 5 wish list, which is a bit more down-to-earth.
