Not at liberty to say. However, I think most people will be happy with what Apple is doing with the notification system.
Apple is very aware that this needs an update.

Yes, Apple would give end users a way to destroy the BSD jail system rendering the iPhone vulnerable to attack. Not very likely. Keep dreaming.
Jailbreaking carries risks with it that most people don't realize. Anyone storing personal/sensitive information on the iPhone would be an idiot if they jailbrake their iPhone.
You might as well leave all of your doors unlocked, with a sign on the door saying that you are out for the next few hours.
A new design and a tiered range.
I want an iPhone that immediately looks new (not almost exactly like my 2G, 3G and 3GS) and also one that look obviously different/superior from all the ones bought from Tesco/on cheap contracts/with only 8GB storage etc.

After call, go back to where it was
I'd like to have the screen go back to where it was before the phone rang. For example, I always go back to the home screen before I shut off the phone. Then if it rings, I take the call and complete the conversation. The phone turns off. When I turn it on again to use it, the phone app is open. I hate that. I'd like it to return to the home screen before it turns off, or at least give me the option...like if I turn the phone right back on after a call, it stays in the phone app, but if not, it goes back to the home screen.
I know, I know...fat chance.

I would like a new iPhone that looks similar to the industrial design of the Zune HD. I'm not a huge fan of the curved back.
I don't think the hardware changes will be radical. And they kind of have a great advantage and a great drag at the same time in the uniform resolution from model to model. So don't expect the screen to get bigger anytime soon. And the famous grid isn't going anywhere either. Although, I'd love to be proven wrong.
However, the redesign is due, and below is my take on how it would look, baring in mind their current design language. I'm just interested in whether people think they'll do that, or will stick with the current design.
That does look pretty sleek without the bezel. Glass to the edge may work well for the iMac, but I don't think that would be very design friendly for the iPhone. You think screens break now?
Not to mention your mock-up in reality would not look near as sleek because the screen wouldn't be black, it would be that dull faded tan color that the screen is normally when blank.Oh, try making the top and bottom parts with the ear speaker and home button aluminum instead of black! That might look nice.
Oh like the Nokia E71 right?! Sweet, I totally forgot about that. Adding colour LED's for specific notifications, not just the speed of "blinking" would be perfect:
RED - double pulse - for iChat notification or corporate email, rapid for live chat
Blue for personal email, rapid for a live chat.
Yellow for low battery.
This is tastefully done on the Nokia E71 and now released E72. very classy like.
I'd like to add how about
Green pulse/blinking for network signal and good battery life, Yellow for low battery life, and Red "breathing" for low battery life.
This way its VERY quick at a quick glance.
customizable colour LED's: Purple, or other colours .... purple for wife's email, a purple circular ring for say IM from the wife (to let you know night out with the boys has gotten to late and to avoid the dog house its time to get your ass home/message back with an airtight reason
. This way you don't have to be embarrased, its discreet.still would like louder ringtone, stereo speakers and new features in apps that are already there; ie Search within Safari for displayed websites, coverflow for history bookmarks, ability to Clear Cookies/Cache/History WITHOUT removing saved forms/password entries (this to be seperately deleted from the rest).
Man the iPhone 3GS just rocks!
Native iChat app would be cool too. Integrate it with the Messaging app.
Another cool thing would be if you sync your iPhone with a Mac, you could send SMS or MMS through iChat on your desktop from the same number.

Ooh, yeah! Maybe they could print the price on the back so that everyone knows how much money I spent, and that I'm clearly better than them!
Some long overdue software bits:
-VPN that works properly, I should be able to tell it to only send traffic over VPN when using certain wireless access points
-Multiple signatures for multiple accounts
-Multitasking
-Ability to put in a location for events and be able to click on location to bring up maps
-Contact syncing over the air to osx server

a Iphone that comes with a App that teaches people how too SEARCH!
An iPhone app that teaches people how to spell! Oh wait...
People in Japan swap contact cards with their infrared. Might be pretty cool if everyone with an iPhone could do that.
The two features I most want are 802.11n and improved battery life. For that - what is the likelihood of any substantial battery improvement? Does anyone here follow that technology? There is a fortune out there waiting for whatever company can produce a next-gen battery for mobile devices. I've read for awhile that zinc was the Next Big Thing, but it seems like that's always on the horizon and never actually close to reality...
What? Wouldn't you use Bluetooth for that? I thought Japan was supposed to be ahead of the times. IR went out of fashion in the west with the death of PDAs like the Newton.
i'm sure it would be anti-jailbreakable
Is it possible to make a anit-jailbreakable phone?
Here's what I'd like to see...
- Native multitasking, Andriod based phones are way ahead of apple on this one (I hate having to shut my webradio apps off just to answer a sms, or not being able to stay online in flowchat)
- Startup screen with weather, shortcuts to contacts or whatever, just like the JB:ed lock screen some pages back
-Redesign
