How about useful integration of, oh, you know...Dropbox...Evernote...
Hell, webOS has more native integration of services than iOS!

Like it or not, features parity or not, Dropbox competes with Apple's own iCloud service.
My fear is that, in the end, all native apps will end up with one button only: "Share" - and even worse, Apple could go the same way with their MacOS.
Oh well, I'll have to purchase pro apps elsewhere then, to - you know - get some WORK done
Really though, all this means is you'll be able to one-step upload your pictures or videos straight from your iPhone to Flickr and Vimeo. It's not really social integration so much as another target for your creations.
Not a heavy user of either, but Vimeo is what YouTube would be if it had class.
Oh, and now that Flickr is owned by Yahoo!, I might give it a try.

Which is why Apple should not make that call in the first place. Just let iOS be a neutral OS as much as possible when it comes to third-party apps and integration. If Apple intends to cherry-pick only those services it likes while leaving the rest locked out, iOS is never going to be competitive anymore.
Flickr on Apple TV would be great!
Let's hope this idea comes to fruition. I'd love that.

Free users/accounts on FlickR are having 1 TB storage from what I read on FlickR yesterday.

You mean copy a good feature from Android?
No Apple is all about absolute control and using integration with the OS as a bargaining tool with 3rd parties.
Not as many as youtube but loads of people use it. Why does it matter if it has a smaller user base?
The quality is better and the UI is nice IMO. If you are only sharing with friends then it doesn't really matter what service you use.
If you are aiming to go viral and haven't already done so on Youtube your content probably isn't good enough or you haven't marketed yourself very well.

More social networking integration - WOW - how exciting.
Is that where the average IQ of iOS users exists - social networking?

You know the creative wheels are slowing, over at Apple, when the only moves they've made in the last 3 releases are horizontal.
The dumbing-down of iOS and Mac OS continues unabated - is that truly what people are spending all their money on Apple products for -
social networking?

What integration would you like to see? I was impressed with the integration they already had with iWork.
Hmm...
All I can say about this is: No Google+? If Google+ was integrated, it could gain users pretty quickly. I can see one reason why Apple wouldn't put in Google+ integration, given the Apple-Google relationship
*******************************************************************
Much like many other people on this thread, I will say this: I hope this is not the "innovation" that Apple will have in iOS 7. What's going on? Apple could take ideas from the jailbreak community (or even better yet, hire the developers from the JB community) to improve iOS. It's just a thought.

What they really need is better youtube integration. I want to see new videos from my subscriptions in the notification center, geez Apple get it right.

Yeah I know, wouldn't it be awesome if cydia were built into every iOS 7 device? Then they wouldn't have to do anything cause it's all been done already by the jailbreak devs.
