Who Wants a Glowing Apple Logo on Next Gen iPhone?

[Rene Ritchie]

Two rumors now have Apple adding a MacBook-like glowing logo to the back of the next generation iPhone (iPhone 2,1). Who here's up for that? Does it have to be functional or just hellzacool?

The first time I read that rumor I thought it sounded stupid and obnoxious. Now I think it'll be hella awesome and I really hope it glows!!

not i, its lame

Not lame... pretty cool if the phone matched the laptops.

I'm mixed. If it lights up for notifications if the iPhone is sitting face down then I might like it. But if it just lights up while I'm using it for effect then that is a dumb waste of battery, no matter how little it actually uses.

Exactly, it's how they put it to use. Notifications would be sweet.

SEcond that. Notifications would be great!!

I doubt it would be bright enough, but if it would work as a camera flash I'd be super happy about it! A blink for notifications would be useful as well I suppose, but I rarely put my iPhone down face-down. Just a light for no other reason than to glorify the Apple logo? I don't use this word much, but: meh.

some kind of light for notifications would be great, but i just cant see apple putting it on the BACK of the phone. that just doesn't make any sense to me...

the home button lighting up would make more sense for notifications.

A flash and/or notification would be really cool but it seems like a new potential battery drainer... I guess that's why we all have chargers.
