better battery life
i wish iOS 6 is like Snow Leopard to Leopard.
improve the performance, decrease the foot print, increase the battery life.
make it more stable. everything else is a bonus.

Background downloading/uploading is already there my friend, part of the multitasking UI.
Try uploading a pic in Instagram and exiting the app quickly, come back into the app a minute of less later and see what it says! ----------
Yes!!! I don't need 1080p video and I find I avoid video recording because I have a 16 GB iPhone.
Enough with the "real multitasking" the multitasking on ios is fine there is nothing I have wanted to achieve that I cant do with iOS multitasking.
i thought women only cared about it, guess i was wrong.
turn by turn directions are overrated.
It's not the A5. The iPhone, and every other phone, has a separate chip that controls the radio. The one they used in the new iPhone and in the Verizon iPhone 4 doesn't support selectively turning off 3G. On the bright side it makes production a lot easier since they only have to deal with one set of hardware that works on every carrier.They should have forced the new A5 chip to do this. As new generations of products are released you should only be adding to the already current list of features... not taking away from them.
It would be like if they brought out the 4S and said "Oh hey.... you know what? We took out the ability to copy/paste. Um... the processor couldn't handle it..."
Plus it would DEF save on battery life. 8 hours of talk time on 3G vs 14 hours on 2G/Edge...
Waze is OK. It works well enough in the city, but I've had several instances where it gives weird or stupid directions where the maps app works better. The other problem is that it's crap in rural areas, especially in montana where I'm from. That, and it still leaves the GPS on after you close the app. You need to manually shut the thing down, it's very annoying.
Next super-feature:
"Life Control"
Siri expands and gets more robust. Can control your phone. Your TV. Your car's electronics. Your dishwasher.
I think the comparison of FaceTime to Siri is a joke. I use Siri and/or dictation 20 times a day. I never even back at launch expected to use FaceTime at all. I do plenty of video chat but it's with Tango. Works on 3G.

- API For Siri, So all apps can take full advantage
- ON-Board Siri for instant response time (for most if not all functions)
- Apple Nav/Maps with life like 3D, and Turn by Turn
- More apps/Multi-pages in folders (like folder enhancer)
- Widgets
- Themes
- More options for iCloud, like dropbox/idisk and more photo stream control
Lots more we haven't thought of

And how is software supposed to address the majority of your list? You're in the wrong thread. This is the iOS feature list.
FYI: the led notification light was included with iOS 5. Pay attention.
Personally, I don't want file storage. This is a phone, not a computer. People need to understand that apple's got a computer business to also support. Think realistically people.
Seeing Siri integrated into more apps would be nice. However, that's not a big one. Also, I think widgets are too small fry (and battery draining) to be a big feature.

i would really like turn by turn directions. why would i want to purchase a separate device for navigation when my phone has GPS. i thought that was the point of smartphones. i might as well buy a camera, mp3 player, nintendo ds, and kindle. cuz i would want something designed specifically for those things right?
or i could buy an all in one device that has an incredible camera, the best mp3 player, has tons of fun games, can download my books and can tell me how to get where i need to go.
i might be a bit spoiled coming from android where this is a feature on all android devices. but turn by turn navigation should be part of iOS not something i have to download from the app store; and hope that the developers did a good job.

i feel the same way. thankfully i have a 32gb phone and dropbox so i can just upload my videos and delete them from my phone. but still it would be nice to have the option to change the setting so i didn't have to do that.

Thunderbolt is a big possibility. Actually I'm surprised Apple hasn't decide to use it yet now, in line with iPhone 4s launch last month since most Mac family have them. And you know Apple want them to be succeed or even surpassing USB 3.0
But the question is, does the iDevice with current dock connector can utilize Thunderbolt bandwidth, or we will stuck with USB 2 speed?
Or more importantly, will they change the design of the dock that has been there for years? I hope they don't and we just can get a Thunderbolt to dock connector.

I don't want to wait until iOS 6.0 to get a simple setting like 720p video recording! I am going to get the 16GB model but am also worried the 720p option wouldn't come soon.
