iMore

Hi. After selling my iPhone 6 over a month ago I'm kinda missing it. I like the smoothness of the UI, gestures, speedy camera and gaming. But i still think there are many missing features which are needed. Since iOS 9.x i could be wrong with this presumption and need your thoughts on the following:

1. No custom action centre w/ ability to add/remove toggles such as network signal toggle
2. Full stereo video recording
3. Ability to assign an mp3 file as ringtone via the music player
4. Speed dial on keypad
5. Custom equaliser on music player + louder volumes when using headphones
6. More unlocking options and not just entering numbers
7. Third-party app link (e.g. Youtube, Instagram, etc.) to open in app and not in Safari
8. Queue next song ability in music player
9. Faster wireless file transfer (mp3 & mp4) from Mac to phone with or without iTunes
10. Swipe to cancel notifications on lock screen &/or notifications pane
11. Ability to share Notes to third-parties such as Gmail, Evernote, etc.
12. Dedicated & simple file manager
13. Dismiss all tasks in multitasking (like Android)
14. Wider angle photos
15. Water-resistant body coating
16. No 16GB option as it is too small

Most of these suggestions i have been suggesting for 2(!) long years and i do not know why it has not been implemented as Android have them for a while. I would like to stick with having an iPhone and i feel strongly for these features. I just feel Apple has not been listening to us end users. Again, i could be wrong as some of them might be in iOS 9.x already or can be "found" using apps.

Any thoughts, advice or comments please?
