Preamble
This is a place for people who want to make iPhone even more awesome than it is already out of the box.
No company in the world can build all the features into a product that users might want right from the beginning. But given Apple's proven track record of building great improvements right into the next version, we see enormous potential.
By the way, opening iPhone's case voids warranty. That should be clear.
