Calendar - Fantastical: This should be a given, while it's a simple calendar it's native language engine is incredible. Not just that, but if Apple could truly localize it by making Fantastical's native language engine compatible with many languages, Apple would have a great perk to offer it's customers.
Stocks - Partnership with Bloomberg : This would be quite a high brow partnership and imho nearly impossible considering the amount of money Bloomberg would demand Apple to pony up and Bloomberg sells information as a product.
Notes & Reminders - Not really sure any ideas would be helpful.
Contacts: Now this is a tricky one. I feel that contacts have the risk of being over inundated. The People Hub of WP8 has too much data thrown around. A contact program should have a good balance between presenting data and utilizing it. Do I think contacts should have access to Linkedin Facebook twitter renren and all those other ones. Sure why not, but they should be subtle. I personally like Cobook Contacts and add the ability for the contacts app to read and parse through business cards would be a great boon. Plus if they could again localize the app by allowing a business card reader to read multiple languages that would be fantastic for people like me.
Mail - This is a tough one, I know many would have shouted for mailbox if it were still available to the market. I use it, I like it, but I'm not sure how it would have added value to to Mail app. I think the best thing would be to snatch away the founder of sparrow from google.
Weather - Dark Sky App, definitely a huge winner in my book.
Maps - Let's see where this will take us.
