The post is so mch clobberd fron before ios 5 posts.
Lets start fresh..
Lets not and say we did.
iOS 5.x request.
- Ability to hide stock apps (like Newsstand, Compass, Contacts, GameCenter).
- Remove Spotlight and put it to better use, (video below)
- Photo Stream needs some improvements
- Its been said before, but I would like to see some improvements done to the Maps.app,
- In iOS 5, I can now set a passcode to disable Find My iPhone from being turned off (if lost or stolen), but I would like the ability to disable the ability to turn off the phone so that if it does get stolen, the person can't simply just turn off the phone and not allow me to track it.
- The ability to Subscribe and have Podcast auto download in the background (over wifi), like newsstand does (download new content automatically).
YouTube: video
What kind of Photo Stream improvements do you need?
Added.Another iOS 5 request, ability to transfer Video from my Camera Roll to my iPhoto (wirelessly).
Re: Photo Stream
- The ability to delete/hide individual photos
- Images saved from the web should not be added to Photo Stream
- Screen Capture images should not be added to Photo Stream
*Web photos, I like browsing sites like Lamebook.com or failblog.org and when I come across some funny pictures, I like to save them and text them to my friends. I don't want those photos to get mixed in with my day-to-day photos.
Right now my Photo Stream is all jacked up. For a while I had turned it off, but I miss having the ability to wirelessly sync my photos to my iMac, so I turned it back on.

Hardware wishlist (e.g. iPhone 5S / iPhone 6)
1) Bigger screen (4+ inch), preferably double resolution to keep retina display and more bright (to fight sunlight)
2) 4G networking (LTE)
3) Much better battery life
4) Improved (8 MP?) camera: better stabalization, better in low light
5) RFID
6) FM-radio and pedometer
7) Louder and better speaker
iOS 5.1 or 6.0
1) Redesign! iOS is great, but it looks the same as in 2007...
2) New maps app! What about better navigation?
3) Siri in more languages
4) Dynamic app icons (like clock app showing current time, weather app current temp)
5) Bluetooth movie, photos and music transfer (to any phone)
6) Support more video formats
7) Improved PhotoStream and other iCloud services
What did Apple give us in over two years time?
Hardware
1) We didn't get a bigger screen for the iPhone 5S, but there are enough rumours that iPhone 6 will have a bigger display. It sounds like it's coming.
2) Yes, we did get 4G LTE networking!
3) Improved battery life? Not drastically, but improvements have been made.
4) Improved (8 MP) camera? Check. The iPhone 5S performs better in low light and in situations with a lot of movement.
5) RFID / NFC. Nope. We didn't get it. I doubt that we ever will get it.
6) FM radio? Nope, unfortunately not (- it's still very relevant). Pedometer? Not exactly, but with the M7 Motion Chip this is no longer necessary. The M7 Motion Chip can also count your steps.
7) Louder and better speaker? Nope.
Software
1) Yes, we got a redesign for iOS!
2) Yes, we got a new Maps app. In fact, Apple created its own Maps app - and we got a redesigned Google Maps app!
3) Siri in more languages? Yes, but there's still a lot of work to be done here.
4) Dynamic app icons? It's not as dynamic as one might wish, but it's getting here... (like the Clock-app, which is dynamic)
5) Bluetooth transfer? Not exactly, but we got AirDrop.
6) Support more video formats? Not exactly, but Apple has relaxed policies on 3rd party apps... so nowadays, we can basically run any video format on iOS.
7) Improved photostream? Improved iCloud services? Check.
OP, do you honestly think the iPhone will EVER have finger scanning and infrared?
Apple thinks up their own product; they're not gonna take advice from somebody on the internet. unless you're an actual developer for apple (and buying the iPhone sdk doesn't count), you're voice is falling upon deaf ears. I'm not saying your opinion doesn't matter, just that apple will never see it or acknowledge it
hey......shut up
So, this topic was last updated in late 2011. At that date, this was our wishlist:
So, let's have a look at what we got:
Fun fact: at one point, there were even wishes like "slowmotion video" and "fingerprint scanner" in the list... these were removed, because they seemed highly unlikely.
