SO true! And I would say perhaps a feature where you can be notified or an indicator when a person has read your message from the notifications center.

I want the free iCloud allotment data to be 50 gigabytes instead of 5 gigabytes. ✨
This! Also should go higher if you have more Apple devices.
If you spend thousands of dollars on hardware, what are a couple of bucks a year?
Under display camera and face id. No notch, no dynamic island, nothing. Those are just in the way. If someone wants the dynamic island features it could be implemented fully in the software.
Isn't there a feature to have shared albums in the Photos app?
Yeah, there is. They added it in iOS 16.
I would love for the Pro lineup to include a desktop experience if you plugged your phone into a docking station. Nostalgia hit me hard on another thread talking about Windows Continuum on my Windows Phone years ago, and Apple already has the tech there with iPads.
I used Dex once. It was a really cool feature in concept but idk I never found a use for it
Same here. Can’t even watch Netflix with Dex on PC.
Most stuff on this thread so far is OS related.
I think the iPhone has hit a crucial point where they either will need to reinvent the wheel, or eventually die out/be replaced by someone who does.
Some next level tech I’d like to see in iPhones: Better AI capability, the phone should learn how I use it and adapt to better the experience
Dramatically increase battery life and technology, multiple days without needing to charge
Dramatically decreases in charging time, minutes to fully charge
Increased safety functionality
Smaller, thinner, faster. No more need to big gaming rigs. Your phone is as good as a gaming pc and can wirelessly project to any screen.
Truly indestructible durability.
Lastly, Apple needs to come up with things we can’t even think about. That’s what we pay them for after all.
Better keyboard, side loading (honestly if this doesn’t show up I’m moving to Android with my next phone with WhatsApp allowing migration and rcs support), power user features for files app.
I also believe a feature like Samsung dex is the future. iPhones turning into iPads or Mac’s when connected to screens can be a seriously good thing. Here’s hoping it because the hardware can do it.
Lastly, not really a feature but please fix the bugs. Make the os spotless.
It depends where ur located. Side loading is only for those in the EU. But definitely not that big of a deal if I don’t get it (from UK and Brexit fucked everything up so idk if we’ll get side loading) but I would like to have the option.. definitely wouldn’t move to Android tho 🤮
Split screen mode where i can watch youtube and browse the internet or go through reddit at the same time!
What happened to pip in safari? YouTube used to work, now I’m hardly able to do it.
120hz on a base model
TouchID and a full screen with no cut outs
Personally, although this is an OS update and not a future iPhone update, I want a better notification system... god, I miss the way Android does it.
How so
HARDWARE:
-
better placement of the action button, I keep hitting it when I want to change the volume
-
I didn’t hate Face ID as much as I thought I would, but have an in scream finger print reader would be nice too
-
this one is def a big issue for a small amount of people but going caseless on iPhones sucks since the cameras are in one corner. If they were spread out horizontally the phone wouldn’t wobble
-
small notch. With the addition of the Dynamic Island, this is the first time I haven’t said “no notch”. Eventually I’d like no notch, but if they could put everything under the screen except the camera that would be nice.
-
BETTER SCRATCH RESISTANCE HOLY FUCK. how does my $1200 slip out of my pocket, fall 2 ft onto WOOD and scratch.
SOFTWARE
-
independent app volume control. The way apple currently has the volume slider (when you swipe down and can hold the volume slider to make it pop out) is such a great way to add independent app volume control.
-
custom widget sizes and app placement.
-
ability to turn off password requirement to unlock phone in certain locations or focus modes.
-
this one is small but it’s so annoying. Double tap on the screen when in the camera app to swap front and back camera
-
more options in shortcuts. I could make an entire post about this so I’ll leave it at that
-
RCS AND THANK GOD WERE GETTING IT
-
set a third party maps app as default
-
better notification system. Oh my god apple’s notifications are horrible. I’d always get upset how my family never responded to texts but I get it now (they wouldn’t respond anyways but it’s a bit easier to understand lol)
Ad Software 1: Volume is the most annoying that is bothering me since I moved from Samsung 2 years ago. I cannot understand why people are not demanding this. I fkn hate being forced to change the volume every time I am going to sleep to not wake up my entire family when alarm goes off.
More cameras on the back
How about actual working autocorrect?
I just want a voice assistant and voice recognition that works more than half the time.
I hope they add the function to add an app to a folder from the folder itself. I’m tired of fucking up my Home Screen every time I add something to a folder
Bending the phone
Smaller. Somewhere around 5.4” screen size.
Actually useful zoom lenses. Better automation (iOS still lagging behind android in this regard). Reliable foldable form factors. Front cameras just as good as rear cameras. New battery technology that would double or triple battery life.
Better notification
Better sound control
Better customisation
Better quick panel
And ffs give me a half decent file explorer
