1) option to remove the home bar
2) let me swipe up anywhere on the home screen, not just from the bottom.
3) more comprehensive control centre editing. Let me move things around where I want. Let me add other apps too, not just the oddly specific list provided
4) let me customise the shortcut icons on the home screen. I can already swipe for the camera so I could use that icon for something else. Maybe let me have four across the bottom
5) always on display option on lock screen for time/select notifications like upcoming appointments. It'd move around to prevent burn in and be very dim so wouldn’t use a lot of battery
5a) same for Apple Watch please. Series 3 battery can take a static dim monochrome always-on watchface
6) let me edit the ears. I want battery percentage for example
7) if I select live wallpapers for the lock screen give em th riot ion tomanimate them without needing to use 3D Touch (which is insane and makes them pointless currently)
8) let me rearrange icons on the home screen. Seriously overdue.
9) I’d like some form of widget. Something like windows phone live tiles I could apply and could be scaled to the iOS tile grid layout

I don’t get number 8. You can already rearrange icons on the home screen. Since iOS 2?
 
One thing I’d love to see is some of the information from the old status bar added to the lock screen.

I’ve left Do Not Disturb on a few times now because there is no visual indicator anywhere. I only realise it’s still on because it has an icon on my Apple Watch.
 
- Auto rotating wallpapers
- Scrolling status bar
- Home screen customisation
- Customise lock screen shortcuts
- Customise control centre options
- Better interactive settings and toggle shortcuts
- Picture in picture/split screen
- Better multitasking
- Customise lock screen and clock options
- Always on display for OLED screen
- revamped notifications or at least grouping
- Better widgets
- more camera options
- theming and icon packs
- true dark mode

They’d sell so many more!
Great list, everything I would want only thing missing on my wishlist would be the option for customizable LED notifications.

My only wish is for choosing status icons to display in the ears. Just like on the Watch, I don't always need to see cellular/wi-fi status, but I do want to see DND (and bluetooth headphone status).

- themes. Resize, change grids, different look, Do I need to say more?

- bring back the old music ui. It’s hideous right now, to the point where I don’t even want to listen to music on my phone. The play/fast forward/volume toggle is gigantic while the timing cursor is tiny. It’s poor design and whoever designed it should not be allowed to call themselves a designer.

- sleeker widgets. Let me have the ability to have month view calendar, group my notifications, and have a cleaner media player on the lock screen (again, huge buttons)

- expand the dock to 5 icons and make it shrink on the iPhone X if there’s less than 4. It looks silly right now if you only have 3 or less. It stays the same size and leaves a lot of empty grey spacing.

- dark mode but this will never happen. It’s been rumored since iOS 7 and Apple knows it’s the most requested wish but purposely refuse to add it.
 
Do Not Disturb should turn the time a different color just like when on a call or screen recording.

More 3D touch. It's a shame 3D touching the battery doesn't do anything. Or 3D touch the Date to open calendar.
