Does Apple have a Product & Feature Design Contest?
I have some awesome ideas for iOS devices that I believe could make them even cooler and more functional. However, I do not want to just give my ideas to Apple since I probably won't get anything in return. If they don't have a current competition, I have some ideas on that as well. People could submit their ideas (written, renderings, concepts, etc) to Apple, and then Apple could select the top ones themselves and let people vote on those. This way Apple does not get stuck with any unwanted designs but end users still get the features they want. Prizes could be cash or a percentage of the capital their idea generates. Apple could even let multiple ideas win and give 1st, 2nd, and 3d prizes (or more). This could boost Apple to an even more dominant position in the mobile world, especially since people could suggest features similar to ones they like on non-Apple devices. If anyone that works for Apple reads this, I believe it would be in everyone's best interest to start a contest like this. It is a perfect way to give the people, who are the ones purchasing and using the products, a chance to improve upon or invent things that they want and would buy. It's simple: Democracy works.
