They can add back the headphone jack for one. I’m one of the few people who still prefer wired headphones. I hate using adapters

I’ve had issues with mine
They probably have ideas and new features planned out years ahead and just add a few new ones here and there. They just want money. “For the year 2047 let’s make it poop rainbows when you get a text”
The arms race nature of the competition means this isn’t the case. It’s just that everyone’s reaching the plateau of what this device/form factor can be and we’re waiting for the next big leap to arrive.
Back button, separate app sound, lock screen not stopping apps, close all apps, clear ram option, ultra power saving mode (like samsung has), volume controls for notifications, system sounds, ringer in control center.
"...but are you a different animal, AND the same beast?"
Predictive dialling
There’s a lot of good suggestions and ideas here, but what I want is a selfie screen on the back of the phone near the camera module. A lot like the folding phones have. The iPhone has great cameras. Just give me that extra small screen to see myself and I’m happy.
I just look for my reflection in the lenses, so the simpler answer would be a little mirror in the bump, curved to match the field of view of the main camera.
It should be easier to turn the volume down to very low.
Since it has a an incredible, never seen before USBC and it's made from titanium, it's going to be hard to top that. Like how could I ever use a phone without titanium...
I love the pixel I could never switch
Siri, faster animations (compared to android it is damn slow , mostly to hide the 60 hz on regular phones.)
Separate audio controls for phone and external devices ….
I wanna be able to change my text background and bubble colours
Look at the pixel 8 this year with its host of AI features. iPhone needs some of these would be fantastic
I just want to swipe from anywhere to access the control center…
I think we’ve reached a point where the hardware is way too ahead than the software we are getting in the App Store.
Sideloading is definitely a welcome feature.
A loot
No native app lock (workarounds are there but it is a hassle) and no duplicate apps, No IR blaster either.
I would love to see a shift from yearly models to different upgrade paths, introduce an Air, bring back the mini and go into an 18 month cycle for each line, but with a release every quarter, keeps the market happy and gives time for development.
I think on the design level I feel like the peak level would be where the iPhone would be completely screen (very very thin bezel) with no buttons on the sides and have cameras that won’t stick out while still being a very thin phone with good battery life and no overheating and still having a good speaker system and waterproofing and durable
A fucking headphone Jack in the pro max version would be a godsend for us audio engineers! And don’t say there’s no space I fit a family of raccoons in a pro max phone

A lot of the features people are listing have been on Android for years (just sayin).
