Any way to suggest things to apple?

[JACKTARD]

I want to suggest something to apple about the iPhone.

Everyone wants a go on them and it can be annoying because you might have texts/pictures which you might not want other people to see so I think it would be a good idea to have the option to set a passcode lock on certain areas of the phone such as messages/media/mail etc

I completley 100% agree with you. Solved the problem thruogh the use of jailbreaking - but it should be a default feature tbh..

An odd feature, isn't it just a phone? I'd hate to have to keep entering a password everytime I went on my phone to see messages. Just don't give it to people you don't trust, as you would with any other device.

*flame proof suit on*

There's an app for that on Android

On topic: No, there isn't AFAIK, you can e-mail Mr Jobs at [email protected] or something though.

I can't see it being beneficial to Apple though, when interested people begin looking through your phone, if they're like it there's a good chance they might go buy one. If you had a look at a phone and were restricted to half the stuff you could go on, you'd be missing out on many of the cool features and might not buy one. So to conclude I don't think Apple would do consider such a thing as showing people phones is a fantastic way of advertising for them.

I agree, it is a little annoying when people see a text message from My Mum! ;[

How's looking through someones text messages gonna want to make them buy it?

Well it's unlikely on that feature alone but if they're restricted from accessing all personal things that's a lot of the iPhone being made inaccessible. The conversation view may tempt someone from a conventional mobile?

It's a small point I'm making but it's enough for Apple to never do such a thing imo.

I see what you mean features wise, but then this matter kinda has two points of view: Privacy and Showing off. But in the end, we'll always be able to jailbreak and solve the problem if we want to enough.

yeah but you can set a passcode lock on the whole phone anyway which comes up when you simply unlock it, I'm just talking about having one to set to certain parts of the phone
