What iOS6 SHOULD have

[WordMasterRice]

Send notifications even when an App is "open". I don't know if this is the case with all apps, but a lot of the time I won't get a notification for new messages if I've left that App "open" on the screen and locked the device. I have to switch to another app, or go to the home screen before locking to get them.

I agree with most of your points, but this one specifically is a problem with how the app(s) are developed, not with iOS. Most apps ignore notifications if they are open. If your app is open you can trap your own notifications and do something with them but most apps don't bother since they have some other mechanism to show you what the notification would have said.

Alternately the developer could have decided that when you lock the device to sleep the app so that iOS would handle the notifications in the normal way. This isn't really something that Apple should fix, it's something that apps should design in already.

Does anyone know if the next iPhone running iOS6 will have a new Home Screen layout? As much as i love how it is right now, id like to see a change since its been the same for 5 years now.

Yes, it will have another row just for you.

The best thing they could add is a jailbreak toggle. You go to settings flip a little toggle and bam your device is jailbroken. There is a lot of other things iOS6 should have but that one would make me most happy.

I guess the question is what it should have but Apple is obviously going to include a toggle to jailbreak

Good to know. I assumed this was an OS-level issue, as it seems to happen with Apple's Messages app as well.

If they give me Siri on the iPad and make it so we don't have to wait 5 months for a jailbreak, I would be content if they never updated again. Cydia is all I need!

That's like saying "I will never upgrade my iPhone 3GS to 4S even if it's free!"

We aren't hating on NFC, we are just saying they can't add hardware with software.

Nope, that's not the same thing. I don't want to jailbreak, i want to update and have APPLES updates.

So if apple adds custom themes in their next update you will support it? Even though it has been a widely used feature of jailbreaking for years?

Do you use wifi syncing? Because that idea came directly from a very popular jailbreak tweak that was available for a good year before iOS 5.

Did you read what i wrote? I want APPLE's updates, i want them to be safe and i do not even care about jailbreak and if they decide to add more things, then fine!
