Not really a feature, but smaller bezels all around. Also number row above the letters would be awesome.

I would love a "close all apps at once" ability the way they have it on Android OS. I can't stand having to swipe away every single open app. I know you can use 3 fingers to swipe apps away faster but it's just so time consuming and unnecessary. It should only be one button, I only do once in the morning before I turn my phone off and on for a fresh start.
Why swipe them all to begin with? I haven't swiped all apps in over 2 years. If they misbehave I do. But most don't. They aren't even running most of the time. I have Maybe 4 apps I have to keep swiped out or they run in the background too much. But methodically swipe them all out? No. No reason to do that.
I only do this once a day (in the morning for me) and then I restart the phone so I don't experience any slow down or issues through out the day. When I don't force close my apps I notice after a few days my iPhone lags and it starts to freeze randomly (every single iPhone/iPad I've owned). Once I close all the apps and restart the phone everything goes back to normal.
Also I worked at Apple about 2 years ago and this was one of the ways we solved issues with a lot of customers iPhones when they had freezing/lag issues besides doing a restore which wasn't needed 95% of the time. We would take the customer's phone in the back, clear all the apps, restart the phone and bring it back out. Problem solved and the customer thinks we did something special or difficult and we didn't. You may not have issues but a lot of people do on a daily basis.
One thing I learned at Apple...not everyone is a techie/informed user and if they can do something simple to keep their device working with the least amount of issues why not do it.
You need to determine which apps do that. Most apps that sit in multitasking are not doing anything. They just sit there. But there's usually a few, maybe 2 or 3 that run in the background too much even with background App Refresh off. My big 3 are Facebook, TapaTalk and Mail.
2. Option to turn off landscape mode on the springboard, and even better by an app by app basis
(And I'll add that I know there is the screen lock option in the control panel but that is system wide and I have to turn it off whenever I watch a video...)
