Physical
- I'd like to see a Full Screen without the Borders.
- Full Integrated Touch ID
- Not too Bothered about the Antenna bands.
- Better Selfie/Face-time camera
- stronger Charger Cord that doesn't Fray/break inside the cord.
- Waterproofing The Camera so you can just use your iPhone instead of having a separate Camera to do all your underwater photos/videos.
- Simard Tray Non-existent( it should just slide in & slide out Whenever you change providers.
- More Software Capabilities Like Uploading HD+ Videos without lowering the Quality from iMovie.(on iPhone)
- Faster IOS needs to be more then 2x faster then the previous version.
- iCloud Issues need to be fixed. (Like when you buy a song off iTunes you have to actually Download it to your phone which will use more of your data & once you download it it should automatically be on your Phone & not have to use #Cellular to listen to it.
- Faster internet speed allowance or Design a Lighting-bolt attachment for iPhone from Your modem because the wifi isn't as fast as it can be.
- Removable Apps that come with the IOS that certain Countries can't use yet due to banking issues with apple or just because of the lack of use.
- Home Button needs to jump into "Multi Tasking without Glitching.
- Increased RAM (hopefully we see a Big Jump in-front of The Competitors)
- Siri alarm clock,Make siri more personal.Let her be like your friend or helper more then she already is.Let your siri tell you how your day is going to be.Whether its going to rain or even a reminder that you missed while you were asleep or in "Do Not Disturb" Mode.
- Apple-car Mode or Driving Mode.(Once you Plug Your Charger into your USB port in Your Vehicle siri should Respond by Saying "Is Your Seat Beat on,sir?. Once siri is Plugged in she will alert your of Incoming calls or Messages/emails Without Lighting up the Screen.She should Simply say " incoming Call From.... would you like to answer it or ignore it".(that way you have no reason to Take your hands off the wheel or your eyes off the road.(Of Course you can turn this setting off)
- Siri is An assistant so she should take on more roles without you having to press the Touch ID it should be more Voice Sensitive.
- Mag-Safe charging Is a Must for the next iPhone not only does it charge Faster but it doesn't break as easy as the Lighting Port Charger.
- Once Your Device is fully charged it should shut off the power to it so you don't burn out your battery or Use Power that it Doesn't need.
- Longer Battery life when playing music or games, Lower Power Mode is a temporary fix.Theres more they can do it give more out of there batteries whilst not losing Slim-ness.
- Doesn't need to be Touched unless its to be put back on top of the iPhone.
- People have Brought #BeatsByDre or Apple earBuds & they won't be able to use them if that Port is Taken away & its all Integrated into The Lighting Port.
If they remove the 3.5mm port I hope they have a good solution for a replacement bluetooth adapter that I can use together with traditional headphones. Because let's face it. All "modern" headphones that are wireless out of the box are crap produced for 3 cents.
It won't be long before Apple does a phone with bluetooth headphones, wifi syncing, proximity charging, and NO ports.
Strange that so many other companies duplicate Apple's designs right after they're released.
This is misunderstood. You sync it through that port initially, once that's done you can charge it using the iPad/iPhone wall charger (using the supplied adapter), or via the iPad's lightning port if you wish.
I'll agree with the last two, but where is the problem in build quality you speak of?
I was referring to issues like bending with iPhone 6 which I think is largely because they're approaching limits of shrinking...
Yet testing had proven that the iPhone 6 is less bendable than other flagship phones on the market.
Which brings me the obvious question, how does sitting on a $600 device like an idiot (that's not directed at you) reflect on build quality? I don't think you are using the right term here. A car can have great build quality, but it's still going to dent when you hit it with a shopping cart.
Maybe it has been said before. But really, the next FIRST thing this company needs to focus on outside all of the bells and whistles are devices which do not shatter, dent and break every time it slips two feet from your hand onto a hard surface. It's ridiculous already. The devices are slippery as can be in the hands, and whoops, a 2-3 foot drop to the floor and the chassis dents and / or the screen shatters. It's 2016 already - make a device that doesn't break when you sneeze!
Some cars don't dent when you hit them with a shopping cart. Or when kicking them. But I guess the company that pioneered that is out of business now, lol.
This is kinda similar to Steve Jobs' statement "You're holding it wrong" regarding the iPhone 4 reception issues. Steve Jobs went to great lengths to prove iPhone is better than many other phones but that doesn't invalidate the issue. The same is true with iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S rectified it with a stronger series 7000 aluminium.
I still don't understand your claim of bad quality. How is a device bending when sat on bad quality?
I'm asking what makes it a bad design?
Can you show me a phone that is designed to be sat on?
Water "PROOF". Wow . Resistant is one thing, claiming your device is water "proof" is a whole new ballgame.
If they get rid of the headphone connector it will be a sad day.

He also seems to be under the impression that Apple doesn't have specific people just designing their chips and others just working on the case.
Well those Startac phones could be sat on and not break. Not that it would be comfortable to sit on.
True, but I have to question the common sense of anyone that can't figure out that a piece of glass (smartphone) probably shouldn't be sat on.
You can blame the design team or....you know...elementary school level physics
Ya I never understood why you would put a phone in your back pocket to begin with. And then sit on it. Common sense says it's going to break.True, but I have to question the common sense of anyone that can't figure out that a piece of glass (smartphone) probably shouldn't be sat on.

Regarding design,
Quick mock-up of how it should look like.
This looks like absolute garbage.
you do know there are non-Apple/Beats lightning head phone right? And with the removal of the standard port there will be more and more lightning headphone models and hence the price will go down.
Apple trying to play catch up again - as in Sony's Xperia phones have been waterproof for years. I love my Z3C
Still I'm sure TC will come up with something typically Apple such as 'immerse-able'
I didn't hear you complain when Sony tries to catch up with software, camera (ironically), hardware. They're the last company to bring out finger scanner even after the Chinese brands. Let's wait and see for Sony pay to come out.
