iOS 7: What To Expect (merged)

While that's a decent workaround and offers features similar to those requested, it also forces the user back into the limitations that texts have - namely character length and file sizes... and it doesn't allow to send images.
I'd kind of like to see the ability to block and report calls and texts without buying AT&T's parental controls plan.
Something that works like this:
Someone I don't want to hear from calls me. If I know they would use that number, I'd set my phone to say "I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is not registered. Please check the number and dial again," or that recorded message below
Now, let's say they call me using a number that doesn't belong to them, but it's not in my "allowed" list. The phone will say, "I will only connect your call if you give me permission to record your conversation. If you consent, press 1 now...(if 5 seconds pass and the caller has not given consent) You have not given consent, so goodbye." This would allow me to legally record conversations, pretty much regardless of how the governing government defines consent from the calling party to record the call.

Don't get your hopes up. Apple researches and patents a lot of stuff that they never use but license out to other folks to recover the R&D money

Well I got one from Sir Jony and he said they are going to model it after System 8
He means being able to trial an app for, say, 15 mins before committing to a purchase I think.
Yes.
However 15 minutes is nothing, IMO, you need at least a week to really tell if you need an app and test how useful it is.
They need to add more widgets to the notification center. Such as turning on and off bluetooth, wifi, 3g etc.
This and iTunes DJ. If I'm listening to a track and i know what i want next, i should be able to schedule it rather than switch to it immdiately.
Things I would like, but won't get:
Automatic app updates.
Move spotlight to Notification center.
1/4 and 1/2 size apps for ipad for multitasking opportunities.
Option to hide or remove some stock apps. ie; newsstand.
Folders that can fit more than 12 apps.
Live icons. ie; weather.
3rd party notification center widgets.
Some offline siri data so it doesnt always use the internet.
Huge, mainstream icloud integration.
Safari ad blocker
Explain "other" space better
Wish list in iTunes/app store

+
Set Default apps
Data usage monitor
Wi-Fi Direct support/Airdrop
Multitasking gestures - Zephyr
Camera app needs Timer, time/date/location imprinting, stabilization shot, 720p @ 60FPS recording option, White balance, Exposure, Light sensitivity(ISO), Contrast, Sharpness, all of these should be added.
Maps - Drop more than one pin on the map, routing between them
Delete photos from Photo Library, being able to view file information in photos (say date of taking etc)
iMessage - Needs an ability to share location(Map) like with WhatsApp, right from the iMessage. Current you can only send photos from iMessage, but Maps and Contacts shortcuts should be added too. Also it would be great if the image EXIF data was preserved when sent so the receiver could "open" that image in Maps and navigate... quickly snap a picture of a location, send it, the receiver gets the image, taps "Open in Maps" and finds the route to you.
Prevent shut down when the phone is locked
Delivery notification for normal SMS messages
Snooze time configuration option for alarm, (amount of snoozes, time in between)
Calendar event badges on calendar(with an ability to adjust how far in advance you can see your events, 24hours, 7 days, 14 days, etc..)
Birthday's in Calendar - show how old is person is turning into
Pictures in the Notes.app
Safari - Unified Omnibar, Private switch IN Safari not in the options, Tap and hold the tabs button to show history
Smart Playlist creation on the iPhone
This is gonna be my LITERAL reaction if iOS 7 isnt as good as we want it to be.

I also want to be able to search photo albums and events in the Photos app, as well as from Spotlight. Why can I not do that already?
Why can't I share videos with others?
Apple's logic is so funny.
Pictures + Videos = Photos app
Shared Photo Stream = only pictures
Either move videos that you take into the Video app or add Shared Video Streams.
Its probably going to be one of the top 10 features for iOS 7.
god, apple maps, lol. first thing i did when i got my iphone on ios 6.1.1 was to download google maps!
True multitasking for me is the biggie. I use the Skygo app a lot for watching live sport events. Switch to anything else then back again, and have to start up tv channel all over again. With the far superior processors in iPads and iPhones today, Apple should have a superior multi tasking solution. To be honest, like many have said, Im finding ios a little jaded
I'd like to get actual multitasking with at least 2 apps on screen at the same time via some sort of split screen (at least for iPad), don't think this will come yet though. Also I think it should be possible to remove the download over 3G/LTE cap.
