I've harped on this in at least 5 different threads, but hell why not? I'll say it again.

Add the ability to create/save groups in your contacts so you can quickly email/text an entire group.

Make it so ad hoc group texting/emailing doesn't force me to hit the plus button and go through the list of contacts every time I want to add another person to the list of recipients, and instead just lets me check all of the people I want at once.

Those are the two glaring weaknesses I personally would like fixed.

- iMessage - Needs an ability to share location(Map) like with WhatsApp - Would be great if we could send a location and then the receiver could start routing/navigating right from iMessage.

You can do that already. You just have to do it from the maps application.

It'd be nice if they implemented the 4 finger swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar on the iPhone. At least as an optional feature.

I enabled the "iPad gestures" when I jailbroke my phone a while back, and I quickly got used to it.

I forgot a really big one:

Some form of multilingual spell check. Right now I have to keyboards activated, one normal english one and one Swedish one. It is so unbelievably annoying when you start writing a text without thinking of which keyboard is active and the OS starts to rewrite your text into some incomprehensible mess. It should be like OS-X where it can be set on multilingual.

Problem solved.

Wouldn't that be really small on the iPhone? It makes more sense on the iPad, I think... 😕
