iPhone is a nice piece of hardware, but the OS has lots of room for improvement.

  1. Better robocall blocking
  2. Call screening similar to visual voicemail
  3. Better voice assistant
  4. Wait for me on hold feature that listens for a person
  5. Visual phone trees so you don’t have to listen to phone tree systems on customer service calls.
  6. RCS for better cross platform communication
  7. A better notification system with built in interaction systems.
  8. Better app icon movement experience and the ability to put app icons anywhere.
  9. Default map app choice similar to browser and email
  10. Universal back gesture that works everywhere consistently

Wouldn’t 1 depend on the carrier to actually mark the call as robo? And since they often use random number generators now, it’s even harder to do. I get calls from Iran and it’s Chinese saying I have a package at the embassy.

5 would need the caller to provide the tree or a database maintained and updated by the carrier no?

You could build 5 by analyzing calls on-device and sharing that information with apple. It might be difficult to make sure personal information does not get included in the shared data though.
