To be honest a lot of features are still missing. So I would say there's definitely room for improvement.
Split screen
Better sound settings. Alarm power level is still attached to the ringer. Absurd.
WiFi share similar to hotspot
Since they allowed custom icons, widgets, etc we need be able to move them as we want
That's a personal and unpopular one, but I really like the idea of having fingerprint sensor in the lock button.
iPhone needs to manage its memory better. Currently, if you are in an app and downloading something, close the app ti check something, the download could go to kb or even stop. Your current session needs to be open so the phone dedicates ram to it. It's bad ..
#2.
I just found out this morning the alarms are linked to my ringer (new to iPhone). I slept through them all because my ringer volume was basically set to low. Seems absurd to me that alarms wouldn't have their own volume.
Why would anyone with an alarm set not want to hear it?
Yikes. I’m glad you don’t work for Apple. Horrible ideas.
for 3 i think they mean you could be able to have your phone as a kind of wifi repeater, like you can in windows
You can just view the WiFi password in settings.
There are reasons for WiFi repeating instead of connecting to the same network. E.g if you have a device limit for the connections (e.g. on some cruise line internet plans) or the WiFi signal is too weak and you want to use your phone as range extension.
I’d prefer a fingerprint scanner to Face ID too
FaceID in horizontal would already be great.
Also an option to disable the need for faceid for a certain amount of time.
When I get home I don’t need my privacy settings anymore and get easily annoyed by having to lift my phone and stare at the screen every time I want to use it.
Horizontal FaceID has been possible since iPhone 13
Didn’t even know that. Gonna buy it once it’s below 200, until then I’m stuck to the IPhone 11 I got for 200.
I just know that if I ever buy a new one it’s gonna be the first phone I’ll break or loose.
I had a Samsung phone with a keyboard that flipped out in 2011 that had the wifi share….it was wicked.
Regarding 6, then that is actual a thing. Apps can request to keep being active to finish up things, like an active download.
Developer documentation
Split screen will never work right with the current aspect ratio. Two apps plus a keyboard onscreen? Have you even seen Messages in landscape? You won’t be able to see anything.
Most of the others I’m neutral about. Sure whatever.
But I agree we need more granular volume controls I’d prefer to see
Is there even any easy way to change system volume? I’ve made a shortcut that allows me to change it but I can’t even show the actual volume (no variable for system volume, just a way to change it).
I regularly change it depending on what I need (alarm, important call, etc).
6th depends on app developer. There are plenty of apps which can download in background for hours. For example, I download 70-80gb torrents on iTorrent overnight. Chrome also supports background downloading.
Wdym by WiFi share
Extend your signal to secondary device.
