Apple

Touch ID on the power button just like the iPads along with Face ID would be nice.

The ability to leave or block a group sms (non-iMessage)

How about starting with an auto-fill and aut-correction program that kinda/sorta work?! This could be accomplished by including a 2nd grader with the phone, because the second grader would do a far better job than Siri.

How about a pop up lens so the camera could record while laying face down.

Their call screening and blocking capabilities are laughable.

• I want to be able to send specific numbers straight to voicemail.
• if someone is fully blocked, I do not want to receive their voicemails period. Not even in a separate folder
• I want to be able to add a number to block manually, without having to add them to my contacts or do it from an incoming message

That’s all I can remember for now

I've had iPhone Pro 15 only for a few days, but here are my thoughts.

• Keyboard is just generally inefficient compared to Android. It's a hassle to reach the numbers since you can't long click to get to them. On Android when there are numbered inputs, it will pop up a number-specific keyboard that is like the phone dial and is much easier to use. (My fix for these two issues is to use GBoard)) Additionally, for email input, it will put at symbol and .com buttons on the keyboard which is very convenient. Swipe to type on default keyboard leaves a lot to be desired. Autocorrect is not great (doesn't even recognize terms that Apple has coined, but maybe this will get better with use).
• Clock is missing many alarm features that Android has. You can't control the volume of specific alarms. You can somewhat do incrementally loud alarms by setting sleep mode, but... what if you take a nap? The feature I miss most is the push notification and button to disable alarm for today -- I asked apple support and they just told me that you have to wait for the time to disable and re-enable it. My solution for this is to set up automations around Alarms...
• Inconsistent back mechanism w/in apps. Sometimes it's swipe from left, sometimes it's swipe down. Sometimes I can't get out of the keyboard, e.g. today in Gmail, there was a popup I couldn't dismiss and the keyboard had no "Done" button since it was a multiline input.
• Siri and carplay frustrate me a lot. My main gripes are that Carplay maps does not pinch and zoom (sometimes I want to know which interstate it's taking me too). With Siri, it will find results on the internet but not read it to me like Google does.

There's some annoyances I have with apps on iPhone... I thought they would be really good since so many people use it...

• I feel like Chrome on it's hard to manage tabs, like I thought it would be more based on gestures.
• There's no Facebook messenger on Carplay.
• Sometimes apps hang and then I re-open it and it's fine? Even native apps had this issue.

I understand that some of this is related to a learning curve of switching ecosystems, but I was shocked at how limited the software was. I'm undecided if I want to keep this phone -- iPhone notes, calling, messaging, etc. is good, but android does a lot of things better.

Catchall: make the just work things just work.

Just let me edit the control center from control center 😱

Once the Dynamic Island is gone completely & there’s true full screen will be the next big thing.

I would like it be easily user-repairable

not showing a "HEY TURN ON YOUR CELL PHONE SIGNAL" when you are using airplane mode and click on something that does not actually need a signal to work - that is why I'm using airplane mode in the first place, dumbass phone...

It needs a built in lighter and knife. And it needs a thermometer.
