It's the same way it works in iPhoto and Aperture. The original files remain where they are, the album image is just a link to the image.

A cart/wish list is very useful for finding an app and bookmarking it for future reference or purchase.
Excellent thread.
Yes, apple is becoming microsoft.. I am sorry but that's true. Unfortunately, I don't see much change in ios 6.. All their change is pretty incremental. That's what happens when company is very successful. They cannot make much change because existing product is such a success(Look at microsoft's OS.. all looks same and maintains as much backward compatible as possible)... Sorry guys, but apple is new MS

I only have 4 things I'd like to see. Everything else is just gravy.
I'd like to add songs to the music app without using iTunes. I have friends who post their music online. I want to download the mp3 via a browser and add it to the music app.
On the iPhone, I'd like a slider for screen brightness nice or below the volume slider next to the music controls. It works well with jailbroken devices.
Android-like navigation. It'll never happen because there are too many navigation developers.
The ability to delete built-in apps, or disable them from showing via Settings.

So I'm guessing that you haven't seen Windows 8?
What I was refering to is : if it ain't broken, don't fix it.
That's where apple is at right now.
For MS, to survive and compete in a mobile sector, they had to come out w/ windows 8
I like the quote, "If it ain't broke, don't break it."
iOS has been out since Summer '07 and the only changes that have been made is the look of switches in the Settings and the Camera button on the Lock Screen. It's time for something bigger to happen. Spice things up for once.
I think Apple could shrink the menubar and button areas of the apps so the content gets more space. Especially with iAds taking up SO MUCH SPACE, theres more UI chrome than app.
Switchy is worthy of full implementation on iOS 6.

Switchy does look nice, but the "Clear Apps" button is misplaced. Further, We've now got two ways to get to the Settings app, we only need one.
I think, Apple is Locked-in in it's own UI guidlines, there is not many thing they can do to make iOS new looking and at the same time not going against their own rules of UI etc.
They simply wont do all new UI, because Mountain Lion is all about OS X and current looking iOS. So making all new iOS now, don't make any sense.
I expect small improvements and more API for Siri, maybe new maps... But nothing groundbreaking.

I don't think Apple would implement "Clear Apps", however the Settings shortcut makes sense. Saves going to the home screen to do things like turn wi-fi on when you're already in an app simply because not many leave Settings open in the app switcher. If you don't leave it in the app switcher, you'll need to close the app and go to your first page of the springboard.
I could certainly see the addition of buttons for wifi on/off bluetooth on/off and data on/off in Switchy. Would be perfect with this implemented.
Yep, works with Zephyr.
But I would never leave navigation app or skype in the background, because it sucks battery very fast.
So not killing all apps, but some of them yes some of them you need to manage.
Agree and disagree
I agree 100% with the turn-by-turn direction map concept. Then again, why should Apple still use Google Maps when there are so many better programs. Google is getting too powerful for Apple to rely on. It is a great search engine, but, like Apple, it takes it's popularity for granted. And somehow, Google receives some strange sort of respect for it's mediocre, mostly 2-dimensional, low-detail map.
I also do not think that the multitasker needs too much improvement. The way it is expressed by you makes me think you want it to be a full-screen feature. That really eats away at the idea of convenience. Your request for more wallpapers is also pretty useless. If people want more wallpapers they get an app and erase it later or find a website that has some good ones.
New Siri functions would be nice, but there would probably not be too many third-party apps you could interact with past entering them with Siri. If your idea of Facebook integration becomes a reallity, possible you could post to your wall, or Tweet with Twitter. A hint to this is that the current Siri was programmed with the knowledge to admit that she could not send Tweets currently.
You complained about the lack of location-based weather, though there already is one. You just enable it in Loaction Services and you get a Local Weather location in your Weather app
Deleting Apple's built-in apps is a little rardical. You should just be able to go into Settings and "turn them off" your personal data in the app would be saved, but the app would not appear unless you turn it back on in Settings. Of course that means you cannot hide the Settings app.
I do not think you mentioned it, but I am glad you did not mention widgets. Some may find them usefull, but I just see them as a waste of space and a lack of order. It is one of the things that makes Apple's so called "boring OS" so distinguished though many hardly know it. Putting them in the Notification Center for non thrid-party apps only might not be to bad, but for apps outside of integration would be a little risky for Apple's perfection.

What, tacky ads that you have to look at for 5 seconds before you can continue to the website the link goes to?
