What should Apple do for this years iPhone/iOS?

[clitrenta]

Yep. It's in Settings > General > Accessibility > LED Flash for Alerts.

Yes but the LED only flashes AS you get a call or whatever. It does not continue to after the fact. Nice feature though. They just need to expand upon it.

I think I also would say that they need to keep the home button and put a light around it for notifications (assignable colors by function). I don't much care about the headphone jack because me and ear buds do NOT get along (small ears). The hardware for me is fine. Just keep improving the software with new customization features. I've used all the other OS's out there (Windows Phone, Android and Blackberry) and they each have something to offer. Do not over complicate this. They do need to do better with missed notifications and maybe the more customization ability but, and I never thought I'd say this, iOS doesn't need to get overly crazy with changes. One simple thing I can think of? - how about putting the temp on the weather icon? In other words, a simplified version of Windows live tiles.

P.S. The Galaxy S7 screen is phenomenal. I could go for that.

The problem with putting a light around the home button is that the TouchID sensor is already there. So they would have to put yet another ring around the sensor. That's a lot of real estate.

You have a point. Maybe they could come up with another place to put one. I remember with great fondness the Blackberry notification LED. It was a beacon in the night. :concern:

How about a small LED in the lower left corner kitty corner from the camera? It doesn't take THAT much real estate. And like I mentioned earlier. Getting rid of the 1/8th" headphone jack would free up a bunch of space.

Found this little nugget. Maybe add BT headphone to be able to have a wireless remote.

If the iPhone screen went AMOLED, you could make the screen do something when a notification is available, as well.

Quick charge. OS customization. Glass body insteadof metal. Qi charging pad and wireless charging.

 

[Ariel Babalao]

I would like
Ability to split view applications and documents on the iPhone.
Ability to shift up the keyboard in portrait mode
Ability to access apps in folder via force touch
System wide night mode (dark UI)
Ability to record phone calls natively
Better battery capacity
Ability move pictures/videos from camera roll to new folder
Ability to swim or shower with the iPhone, just like the Apple Watch.

Apple should tidy up the settings menu in iOS - it's a really a mess at the moment.

Yeah they should. Putting certain settings within apps would be great. For example, the camera. Having to jump out of the app and into settings to change on little thing is ridiculous.

 

[KelseyRo4]

I'd like a blinking notification light in the top corner like the Samsung phones. It really comes in handy

 

[DriftSlave]

File manager please.

I really wish they were more customizable. I always keep a Samsung phone as well as am iphone. I really enjoy the themes on android as well as being able to change the font and text bubble colors. I know I can do all these with jailbreak, but I really shouldn't have to do that in order to customize my phone. Apples operating system is 10x better then android in my opinion and I can go 2 days on charge with my 6s plus. My note 5, not so much.

i would like to see multitasking capabilities like split screen and the picture in picture feature that I've been waiting for for years! i loved that feature on my galaxy note 3 and even though i now have it on my iPad I've always longed for it on iPhone as well. i hold out hope since i hear they may be increasing the ram on the new iPhone as this would be condusive to supporting the extra features. in 3 months we shall see!
