Please list the features you want. Personally I want fewer bugs and have plenty of features already. Most of them I turn off because they are more annoying than useful.
Got a tip for us?

iOS 27 Will Reportedly Have Two Key Upgrades

wow you are incredibly negative; we have had loads of major new features. but ios is also 18 years old; it’s not like when ios first launched and they could add 250+ features in a single OS release; plus how many people actually use every single feature of iOS? like, i’d be shocked if most people used more than e.g. 20% of the total features included in iOS.
i’d rather a rock solid mobile operating system that i can rely on all the time without it being slow or buggy than them adding features on top of a buggy foundation. so if they need to pull a Mac OS X Snow Leopard and an iOS 12, then i’d rather them do that honestly, if it means having a solid foundation that they can start adding features to again.
i’m sure most people would agree with me in that apple needs to prioritize stability and performance again.
So Apple is basically admitting iOS 26 was an epic **** show!
Liquid Glass should be used in a laboratory not for an iOS.

If they don’t get Scott Forstall and Bertrand Serlet to do it, it will be just another mess with the signature of Federighi on it.
I expect Apple to drop the iPhone 11 and SE 2 with iOS 27.
If they are supported, they would be the first iPhone models to support 8 major versions of iOS (iOS 13 - iOS 27). This would be unprecedented.
Except they will be adding AI throughout the system. Just look at the debacle when they added it to News.
iOS 27 will reportedly have two major elements: quality improvements and new AI features.
In his Power On newsletter today, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said that iOS 27 will be similar to Mac OS X Snow Leopard, in the sense that Apple is focused on improving "quality and underlying performance" over adding new features.
Gurman said there is one exception to this rule, though, as he expects there to be new AI features. He said that iOS 27 will extend artificial intelligence to additional Apple apps, and he reiterated that there will be an Apple Health+ subscription service that offers personalized health recommendations and more.
He said this focus on improved quality over new features also applies to macOS 27.
The first betas of iOS 27, macOS 27, and other corresponding updates should be released shortly after Apple's annual developers conference WWDC next June.

The feature all have been waiting for! A new suscription! Clap clap clap
If iOS 27 is going to “fix” iOS 26, well… it has its work cut out for it. 26 is a sht show and should never have made it past the concept.
I’m guessing they will somehow merge iOS and iPadOS in the fold. Most likely it will be like an iPad mini when it’s folded open with the same windowing and multitasking benefits

We've been waiting since snow leopard for an update like this! Snow leopard was so good at the time.
16 years later of messy buggy OS's across the board.
My Apple Watch Series 8 is one of the worst offenders it often is just the mid transition of blurred everything can't do anything with it but reboot so frustrating.

I already have Linux running nicely on my old 15” Mid 2015 Retina MacBook Pro for work.
Converting my Pixel 9 to GrapheneOS is next.
While I’m not fond of leaving Apple behind, they’re forcing my hand if things get worse.
Looking back over the last ten years alone, the investment in Apple software and hardware has been staggering. Multiple iPhones, iPads, MacBooks and so much more.
One things for certain, if I do walk away the savings will be massive.
Indeed. We shouldn't forget that Snow Leopard itself was a very polished release in part due to it dropping support for PowerPC processors. The removal of that code really allowed Apple to optimize Mac OS X for Intel processors.
I doubt they will be able to do that since we are getting new iPhone form factor next year (iPhone Fold)
As the magnifier icon on the top but the search bar on the bottom?
Well the list to me is not super long but super weird
