Next is folding. Then it will switch to “eye-phone”

An incredibly charismatic man once said,” Shut up and take my money.”

A simple Toggle for location services in Control Centre :(

Faster charging

I just want to swipe from anywhere to access the control center…

No native app lock (workarounds are there but it is a hassle) and no duplicate apps, No IR blaster either.

I would love to see a shift from yearly models to different upgrade paths, introduce an Air, bring back the mini and go into an 18 month cycle for each line, but with a release every quarter, keeps the market happy and gives time for development.

It could use a better keyboard implementation.

To be honest a lot of features are still missing. So I would say there's definitely room for improvement.

1. Split screen

2. Better sound settings. Alarm power level is still attached to the ringer. Absurd.

3. WiFi share similar to hotspot

4. Since they allowed custom icons, widgets, etc we need be able to move them as we want

5. That's a personal and unpopular one, but I really like the idea of having fingerprint sensor in the lock button.

6. 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 ..

Look at the pixel 8 this year with its host of AI features. iPhone needs some of these would be fantastic

Siri, faster animations (compared to android it is damn slow , mostly to hide the 60 hz on regular phones.)

Separate audio controls for phone and external devices ….

In screen finger print, built in magic pencil, even smaller notch, super fast charging

Pretty much everything the s23 does already.

I do the exact same things - often with the exact same apps - as I did 15 years ago.

Google, eBay, PayPal, Amazon, Pandora, Associated Press, Box, Shazam, Kindle, Chase Bank, Flickr, Twitter, IMDB, 1Password, are all apps that I downloaded in 2009. If you add in the apps from 2010, that would cover 90% of what I do today.

Changes have been pretty minor overall and I don’t expect that to change.

iPhone is a nice piece of hardware, but the OS has lots of room for improvement.

1. Better robocall blocking
2. Call screening similar to visual voicemail
3. Better voice assistant
4. Wait for me on hold feature that listens for a person
5. Visual phone trees so you don’t have to listen to phone tree systems on customer service calls.
6. RCS for better cross platform communication
7. A better notification system with built in interaction systems.
8. Better app icon movement experience and the ability to put app icons anywhere.
9. Default map app choice similar to browser and email
10. Universal back gesture that works everywhere consistently

Most u can do is remove the notch completey but yeah that’s abt it

My short list is battery life, RCS, and Nokia 3300 level durability.

I personally miss the home button

Split screen multitasking please and allow me to move my icons where I want.

One day, phones will project things in the air like holograms. Interactions will be more fluid-like. Apple Vision Pro is a sneak peak at the technology we will one day have in our pockets.

I think it'll be optional though, I think there will always be people who proclaim that "2D phone screens were better!" but the vast majority of people will enjoy the Star Wars tech.

The best iPhone would be an S23 ultra with iOS, or at least with FlymeOS form Meizu.

I would love a folding iPhone. I really like my fold 5 but my 13 pro is still my daily use phone. I think once rcs supports hits, I may fully switch over to android.

T9 dialling, side loading apps, actual RAW output from cameras with native camera app, i.e. no AI massaging. 120hz on base models.

I know I’m gonna be in the minority here but I don’t think the newer models have really had much to offer to the point I want a new device. What has come out has just been a bit stale for me.

I’ve been playing with the new voice ChatGPT and thinking about how amazing an AI assistant that was fully ingrained in the hardware could be. Siri has that access but no where near the ability of ChatGPT.

If I could just ask Siri to write an email to my kids school saying that my daughter won’t be in on Friday, or take all the photos from the Christmas concert and put them in our family group chat that would be amazing.

Apple Vision Pro will probably be the next best thing once they can make it into a pair of glasses instead of helmet

Let’s just say the only thing I’m freaking waiting for is for them to unlock the app grid and let us put apps wherever we want. I don’t even care about the custom icon crap, I just want to put all my apps on the bottom of my Home Screen without having to use widgets I don’t need to push all my folders down to the bottom. Back when I used Android long long ago, I always had just the bottom two rows of apps and an empty space above to see my wallpaper, I liked the minimal clean look and be able to see my wallpaper when I’m actually using my phone and not just on my Lock Screen. Other than that my iPhone does literally everything I need it to and it’s my only device. TV, Movies, YouTube, Social media, photography and videography, editing, rendering, occasional gaming, finance, business, everything is done just on my phone I don’t even own a TV let alone computer or tablet etc. iPhones and smartphones in general have peaked. Until we have some crazy technological innovation, they’re gonna stay basically the exact same with spec improvements. Foldables still are janky and damage stupid easily for $1700+ devices… and they aren’t good for the general public besides basically literal office workers that don’t do anything besides sit there all day. The plastic “glasstic” screens dent with a finger nail or the pixels bleed in less than a year.. give it another 5-10 years and we’ll see something insane happen but till then it’s gonna be much of the same we’ve had. Sorta how we went from these tiny ass smartphones with sub 300p displays, all the way to 2.5k displays in less than 10 years. Just gotta give it time. Till then start saving some money and rock your favorite iPhones till they lose support unless they come out with something insane before that point!

They need to rethink Springboard from the ground up at this point. The only real improvement to it since iPhone OS 1.0 is spotlight and widgets.

I am desperately waiting for by app volume control

ditch the fragile glass and enlarge battery not the screen

A lot, to name one - better thermal solution and SOC efficiency as right now the phone can get hold quite easily if you play anything heavy + the screen dims on top of the not that comfortable to hold phone (and the heat is also not good for the internal components, including the battery).
