The sad thing is that all these new features people want or that apple actually does will be half bugged out for at least 6 months. I’m good with little to no new features until they get their software QA under control because it’s been utter garbage the last few years.
Got a tip for us?

iOS 16 Wishlist: Features MacRumors Readers Want to See in the Next Version of iOS

I'd agree with your list if you had only added support for horizontal mode as well.
Seriously, sometimes I don't seem to be able to lock a phone in horizontal mode and if change how I'm holding it the screen will rotate back to vertical. If I'm watching a video of something taken in wide screen I may want the orientation to stay that way.
CarPlay needs a lot of work.
- Phone calls and Siri reading/sending a message take over the entire screen, so if you're using maps and you take or make a call or use messages with siri, hope you know where you're going!
- Getting back to in-call controls is not intuitive; you must tap the top left green time icon. If you go into the Phone app while in a call, no in-call controls are there.
- Calendar alerts take up a chunk of the dashboard and cannot be dismissed, taking real estate away from music and maps turn-by-turn (it's ok that they are there, but I should be able to dismiss).
- Telegram has no messages list, but it has an app, which only launches Siri to send a message.
- We should be able to remove any app, but some apple apps must be relegated to the end of the list so they get shoved onto the last page of apps.
- The orange mic dot moves from the top to the bottom of the left side and should be in one place all the time.
- Apple Music often fails to connect and I must (unsafely) open my phone, open Apple Music, force quit Apple Music, then open it on CarPlay again and it connects.
You use garbage band to make ringtones on your phone? Please teach me this wizardry….last time I did that you had to good around on the compute in iTunes.
In the Fitness app, the ability to tap anywhere along an outdoor activity track and see the distance traversed and elapsed time to that point, steps taken, current time, the instantaneous speed or pace, heart rate, geocoordinates, altitude, etc.
Option to skip notifications screen and go directly to Home Screen on unlock with FaceID.
Add a notifications widget that I could place on the home screen to see them if needed. Yes, I know you can pull down the screen, this is for a more casual awareness as I use the device and a different style of interaction. I would not expect this to be default; just adding a little richness to the interaction options.

Seems like a nice enhancement to the Application Library to add a list of most often used to the top.
Holistic view of health, recovery and exercise - with Apple watch etc, Apple has all the data to say when you should be working out hard and when you should recover. Today, the only suggestion is to increase e.g work out minutes by 10% even if you worked out an hour a day...
Access to apple watch data for other training apps on the Apple TV, not just the "apple fitness service doesn't exist here, but I already use another service and cannot switch anyway (treadmill integration)"
Remove the apps from ios, so Apple doesn't think they need to wait a year to improve the apps... Deliver and update them separately and continuously.
Homekit - allow AppleTV to be a hub for other family members, not just the primary user of the AppleTV. Getting a homekit gadget working remotely via an AppleTV hub was impossible because my mother was the primary(only) user of the AppleTV and my father had added the homekit gadgets... Both members of the same iCloud family, obviously,
Allow AppleTV to handle siri requests for third party devices, don't require a home pod to do it. They've failed so miseably they aren't event available in most markets.

Is the space bar too small? I'm not understanding the problem with "."
Don't you ever type a domain name?
Not sure about always on, but a conversation mode would help when Siri can't understand your request. Siri should ask questions back and listen to answers.
You can remove downloaded podcasts. You can also set how many episodes automatically download or turn off downloads. Presumably you can delete games in Solitaire.
Because if Android people want iMessage so bad, they can just install WhatsApp, Telegram or something else. I don't need RCS just to make people who use Android feel included in group chats.
There’s a bug with Open VPN protocol that is not being fixed since iOS 9. Due to this bug, App Extensions can’t control VPN using custom protocols – Siri Intents Extension in this case, in order to run shortcuts in the background. Only native VPN protocols work (IKEv2, IPsec etc.). The outcome is that Siri Shortcuts for VPN don’t execute in background. That is what I would like to be fixed in iOS 16.
Those apps aren't in memory, most of what you see is just history of recent apps. Once an app is not in focus, iOS will quickly shut it down and remove it from memory. Killing apps is just cargo cult busy work.
And it's already there. the iPhone uses the same APFS file system as Mac OS does. There is also Files for file browsing like Finder. Since apps are sandboxed they don't have access to each other's data and a lot of the data is stored in databases instead of files, but that is not related to having a file system or not.
