Software...

1. Reduce number of times needed to swipe up & unlock phone during a call (it’s twice currently...FRUSTRATING)
2. 1440p option for YouTube videos (Hardware related)

I think for me most changes I would like to see are on the software side of things.

1) Let me rearrange my icons in anyway fashion i desire
2) More control over services like Bluetooth
3) Long press on the homescreen to change things like the icon grid and wallpaper
4) Change how widgets are used. Let me use widgets anywhere and not just in one dedicated screen.

 

[now i see it]

No FLICKERING SCREENS for OLED models or sell an up to date flagship Plus sized iPhone with a 1080p LCD display.


That's all

Download movies from anywhere and store them locally on the phone.

Hw: no pwm, 120hz screen, wide lens camera, touch id under display, no notch
Sw: get rid of size limits for mobile data downloads (god it is 2019!), attachments in email (whyyy i cant add photo to existing email???), night mode for camera, get rid of names under app icons (at least like option in settings), something new that will blow my mind - like DEX pleaaase

I agree about the size limit thing. Drives me crazy. You can add a photo to an existing email though.

Oh, 3d touch, but why? Found it just now, but why there is no simple icon.. dont get it and these are details that drives me crazy every day... but those hw changes are more important to me (except no size limit for mobile downloads, that is insane)

For the XR:

OLED screen with thinner borders
Dual lens camera
Qualcomm modem and reliable mobile and WiFi reception

For the XS:
Make its screen support ‘zoomed screen mode’
Better battery life.

Software:
Fix the awful auto spell and auto correct in iOS!

Allow us to set default apps like the email client so when I click a link in Safari for an email Outlook opens!

Allow me to select multiple files at once from iCloud Drive in the File app to attach to emails, like ECG readings instead of having to do it one at a time.

I’d like the option to answer/decline a call by voice.

 

[Ralfi]

Added Google Assistant as default assistant to OP.

Don’t know how I forgot that one.

It would change how I use the phone (& Smart home devices) in a big way.

I just want one freakin' SW item: a native whitepoint slider.

Yes, True Tone and Nightshfit are off, and no, Color Filters is not a substitute for a native whitepoint slider.

So briefly looking through the comments, the vast majority wants things that are currently available on Android, but.... the very same posters would swear to their dieing days that will never have an android!!!! , even tho many folk agree that android HW is top notch, its the SW that let's it down. #strange

Some features being available doesn't mean the whole experience is therefore better for someone.
