What about something like continuum? I don't know why no one seems to care about it but it would be great to take full advantage from the processing power.
I don't know why the Lightning to hdmi hasn't became popular. I would like to be able to use the iPhone hooked to a bigger screen also with a keyboard.
 
I want a true GPS instead of this "assisted" GPS nonsense. Then With the ability to download offline maps I can get rid of my Garmin.
 
I want an in-between size ,
I want an iPhone 7 plus of 5.1-5.3 inch, a reg iPhone 7 of 4.7 inch and the pro should be 5.7 -5.8 inch.
 
Of course battery, but what I want is the OLED screen. It will help with battery, and it will make the screen work in sunlight and you can light up individual pixels. So cool.
 
I want a 6.5+ inch screen in same size housing.

5.8 inch is too near the standard size.
 
I just thought of something I didn't mention earlier. I want an easy way to clear out "Other" from the device. I always max out in storage but I hate not able to clean out that space.
 
After using an S7 Edge during the weekend from a friend, I want a wider front facing camera for the iPhone 7. I hate taking group selfies with the 6S Plus and everyone has to cram in or I'm the one looking like I don't have a neck haha
 
That too, the S7 is really nice to hold. But you're right Apple has an obsession to be more slim!

The Edge is a pain to hold. You can't hold it normally without accidentally tapping on something from the edge because there is no where to grip that isn't screen.

At least with Apple's rumoured 5.8" wrap around screen for 2017-2018 would have a better implementation with 3D Touch technology that would eliminate any mis-taps just by holding it.
 
I am really happy with the battery life in my 6S+. It easily gets through a day often with 50% left unless I do a lot of gaming. I want the smaller bezels in the next iteration. Not too small though. It has to be comfortable to hold in every orientation. It would be cool if they went completely waterproof as well.

If Apple is going to do waterproofing they are going to make sure that it's right. All these water resistant phones that aren't really waterproof is cool and all but I want something that can really take a beating in water. Apple is always waiting to implement features for two reasons.
1. To make money on the next phone when they introduce the missing features in that.
2. To make it is just right. Apple never rush things, which I really like.
 
Wow. I'm truly amazed at the demand for more battery out if a plus model. I honestly thought we reached a sweet spot with that.
If the battery lasted a week, people would complain about wanting a bigger battery that lasted a month. Apple will never be able to meet the demand for battery life because the threshold will always increase. People want what they don't have. Thankfully the battery life on the latest generation is damn good and I can live with that.

It's funny you should say a week. I just picked up a fitbit surge, mainly as a sport tracking device, and the battery is phenomenal. I have only had it about 24 hours but I fully believe it will last the week that's advertised. It's obviously not as connected in terms of alerts as the Apple Watch (again, not why I bought it), but I feel a week a freaking stellar and is more along the battery life lines of the AW I would want/need to consider a purchase for myself.

Without going on too much of a tangent, I agree. It's just surprising to see so many are still stuck worrying about battery life on a product like this when there are so many other bullet points that can be improved. I guess everyone has their own personal perception. I couldn't see myself putting battery life as the number one improvement needed for this generation.

How about this?
5-inch iPhone in the body of the 6
5.8-inch iPhone in the body of the 6 Plus
I might consider the 5 inch phone if they did this.

2 of my friends have s7 edge and I've played with it for a few minutes. No problems for any of us with accidentally tapping stuff.
 
Just posting a concept which took me 5 minutes to make. 5.8-inch screen in the body of the 6 Plus. Different design, but I couldn't be bothered to change it. Pressing the Apple logo could replicate the feel that the home button has, sort of like the Force Touch trackpad. Additionally, it could have Touch ID embedded in the screen.
