All I want is a better slimmer design. I got the Samsung s7 edge and this phone design is just beautiful. When I compared it to an iPhone 6s Plus it's crazy to know that they have the same screen size. I know for a lot of people the current size is okay and they like it, but for me it's just too big.

I voted front speakers and better battery life, though even those probably wouldn't be enough to get me to buy it. I'm not really feeling too excited for the 7 right now. Probably because the 6s Plus has satisfied basically all of my complaints. It ridiculously powerful in terms of specs and battery life isn't a concern. I might actually skip this generation.

Would like:-
remove the antenna on back
For greater degree of comfort when holding it.
Better camera - greater aperture, quality of image, optical zoom.
Extend NFC interface to pair iPhone with speakers and so on.

More resilient screen

Smart connector like in iPad pro.
No headphone jack

Split screen
Screen shots along the line of being able to take whole website page or document page.
Security of all stock apps not just notes - able to unlock via passcode and or touchID.
Choose default apps for action extension
Increased manual camera options
Port over mac preview app to iOS.
Integrate apple watch into settings rather than have separate app.
Offer IAP extensions for stock apps if want to professional heavy level software

All I want is Quick Charge. Most Android phones charge over twice as fast as iPhones, and even they don't charge quickly enough.

I can actually agree to that. I'd love to be able to plug in a severely depleted phone for half an hour and get 50% of my battery back.

Use the iPad charger and it will be same.

It's really not quite the same. Not the way quick charge works on some android phones. Quick charge actually uses a licensed technology where the battery is very rapidly charged. I'm talking dead to 60% in 30 minutes or less. I've used.ioad chargers and, while they do improve charging rates, they can't touch quick charge statistics.

Who cares how it works. I always use my iPad charger and it charges in around 1 hour if battery is at ~10%. That's same as S6 which takes around 1 hour and 10 minutes.

I'm just saying that it's not charging as fast. Not in my experience. Not in most.peooles experiences. You iPad charger will get you a faster charge. Not as fast as quick charge.

You will argue about 10-15 minutes? Are you in a hurry to conquer the world or something?

The point of quick charge is to get your severely depleted battery up to usable standard in as short a time as possible. Of I need to get out of the house, or I'm at an airport terminal, or any number of things, 15 minutes is surely something.

I'm not trying to argue nor am I trying to Conquer the world. I can see similar technology to qualify quick charge being useful on a mobile device. Current gen iPhone don't have this, though they do absolutely have improved charge rates (I believe starting with the iPhone 6) than their predecessors.

Of you don't think any of this matters that is perfectly fine. I'm not trying to change your mind about the technology. I was just pointing out they don't perform in the same way. Because they don't.

There are people around here that argue over milliseconds in animations. 10-15 minutes is like a decade to some, I bet.

Indeed. People are so busy now :rolleyes:

With 12 Watt adapter you can charge an iPhone in 15 minutes to get you going just fine.

Listen man. I'm not trying to argue. If you want to look up the stats you can. You're obviously happy with your charge rates and don't feel they can be improved in the way we've discussed here. That's perfectly fine. I'm not about to presume what is useful to you.

I will remind you this is a thread about what we would like to see in the next phone. Some people even seem.to be bothered enough by the non flush camera that they feel that needs to be changed. I don't care about this but in also not going to tell someone else that shouldn't matter to them. You don't want to see what someone else does? That's also perfectly fine.

I want antenna lines gone. Always looked horrible to me. One of the reason i bought a space grey, because it is least noticeable.

That's perfectly fine. I could take them or leave them as I use a case (sort of have to with a two year old in my life lol). I bought a space grey this year because I had gone with white fronts for a few years. I'd be happy with a lighter back but still black front, though apple seems to have gone away from that option with the 4 onward.

It's not tooo bad, but from design perspective always felt like half measure to me.
 
I always like camera enhancememts because I use it a lot, and I love the current camera, but there are always improvements that can be made. I'd like wireless charging. I already love my device so anything that enhances what is there is chocolate syrup on my pancakes.
 
Reduced bezels is a must. IPhone 6s Plus looks so dated next to Galaxy s7 edge and is more cumbersome to use with one hand.
The other thing needing some serious improvements is camera. S7 beats the **** out of 6s plus camera. 6s still uses the same sensor as iPhone 5s (Other than mpx, nothing was changed), and the same aperture ( f/2.2). S7 has a significantly bigger sensor and aperture.

If the rumors are true and iPhone 7 has the same dimensions as 6s plus with no camera bump (meaning less improvements, to camera, if any...), it would be a lousy update (unless that dual camera thing materializes).
 
I'd like the regular iPhone camera to be as good as the Plus version, so I don't feel that I have to get the Plus version to get the best camera. I'd like the phone to be less slippery so I don't need a case and have wireless charging.
 
Currently using an iPhone 6+...I would love for the iPhone 7 plus to me waterproof, better battery, not as wide, better screen, better camera (especially the front facing). With all that said I love my iPhone 6+.
 
I don't know what you guys are doing with your phones that the plus battery isn't adequate for you, I was never able to run my 6 plus down past 40% in a day, no matter how I used it.

The only thing I really want is smaller bezels so it's easier to use one handedly. Thinner and lighter is always nice too, as is waterproofing. I don't really care about anything else in the poll but wouldn't have a problem with their inclusion.
