What Are Your Expectations with the Next iPhone?

I love the 6+ and live with the size as I have large android smartphones as well. My only expectation would be a better screen to device ratio.
I am not a spec whore. My Moto X blows lots of devices out of the water regardless.

I expect 9.0 to be a headache of sorts too and the later version of iOS 8 that's mature will be the one to hold onto for a while.
Would love to be proven wrong especially in the wake of IOS 9 being a tock/snow leopard release supposedly

Next iPhone Expectations
I would love to see a notification LED of some sort on the front with a color flashing for each type of notificaiton.
A smarter phone dialer. Whenever I begin to enter the number, or even the name of the person I want to call on the dialer, for the phone to begin to offer me some matches similar to what Android does on its dialers. This works especially well for those who aren't in your favorites.
Wireless Charging
Better battery life or the ability to swap out batteries
Siri to act more like how the Moto X interacts with users
I don't want Apple to change its identity, just make a few enhancements

Exactly what I was thinking. The power button being on the side still continues to throw me off.
just look at the ipad air 2 for the future iPhone.
triple core cpu with 2gb of ram. Same design, camera better.

An A9 Chip, WaterProof, better camera and a better battery! I don't want to set my expectations to high though , I don't want to be disappointed.
If the rumors of the A9 chip going to a 14 nm process are true, then you'll see a huge increase in power efficiency or huge bump up in performance (higher clock frequency) or a combination of the two. And that's without accounting for any micro-architectural changes that we will likely see.
The A8 is basically a die shrink version of the A7 with enhancements to the memory interface. The huge performance bump occurred in the efficiency with power usage getting cut in half, while the performance increased by a more modest 25%. Most of the power savings got applied to the larger screens and higher resolution graphics processing.
With the A9, Apple does not have to account for a screen size and resolution increase, so they can really push the envelope on power efficiency or chip performance. With the tri-core A8X, Apple has already shown what they can do when venturing beyond dual-core chips. Lots of possibilities for the iPhone "6s" and "6s Plus".

We're at the point where we have iOS 8 lagging on the iPhone 6.
When we're at the point when the newest OS lags on the newest phone, sorry, but there's no hope!
... Damn you take this **** to a whole new level. Except for how you say
That sentence shows you do expect something.richwoodrocket said:

Then I am afraid you are out
That is ok, apple will sell to someone else.. I wont pay for big ugly ip 6 like phone and I wont pay for 4inch one with old tech...
My biggest hope is that the iPhone 7 will have thinner bezels. With them iPhone 7 Plus could fit a 5.7" to 6" screen, hopefully 4k. I also wish the phone to be a little thinner and lighter (I hope they can still squeeze similar battery life to iPhone 6 Plus). I think 3 sizes might be a good idea: 4", 4.7"-5" and the earlier mentioned 5.7"-6". Something for everybody.
Designwise I expect Apple to stay on track with their beautiful clean and simple industrial design with high-quality materials. NO plastic! Personally I hope them to make the black version blacker, something similar to the Slate iPhone 5.
With iPhone 7 I'm expecting a double benchmark performance over the iPhone 6. iPhone 6S will be somwhere in the middle.
I'm expecting Apple to upgrade the camera to 12 Mp with better optics and larger aperture. Camera should be able to record high quality 4k video @60fps. I'm also hoping for a quality 8 Mp front-facing camera for better selfies (seems to be really popular) and facetiming.
In use the iPhone 7 would be blazing fast with games that have console-like graphics and physics. You could take crisp 4k video and stream it to your 4k tv. The web-browsing would benefit from the larger screen and faster data rates. The iPhone would be more beautiful than ever, with gorgeous screen and thin bezels.
Here are just some of my thoughts, feel free to comment.

I don't know who thought a protruding camera lens was a good idea. The iPhone 5c doesn't even have that.
And who cares about thickness when you have to charge these phones 3 times a day?
From 7 to noon, your battery will die. From noon to 8 your battery will die. Then you have to charge it overnight. And all over again.
And they want to make an Apple Watch? Just something else to charge.
It's necessitated by the slim design, and it doesn't seem to be hurting anything so I'm not sure why it's a big deal.
It really depends on what you're doing with your phone. I've had days when I have 50-60% of my battery left when I go to bed, I'm guessing I could probably make it two days on a single charge.
The poor reported battery life ruined the Appeal watch for me.
That and the fact that you have to have an iPhone with it. A simple earpiece and a watch would've made the Apple watch a desirable standalone product.
I mean people are still gonna buy it though. I'm actually still interested in it though.
