Partnerships with established technology companies make the most sense to me, with fashion brands offering changeable trims or skins - and even "of the moment" curated content like playlists, ringtones, imagery, etc. Apple should open up the physical platform of the iPhone so it is customizable and partner with fashion brands to create content widgets/apps.
