It's not. The way that most of the 3rd party apps that support it work is that they store your credentials and check for new mail on their (server) side and then notify you as soon as they see new mail making it seem like push basically. But you are essentially allowing them to store and use your credentials.

iOS 11 expectations !

Dark mode would be cool in iOS11. I also want customisable control center so that you can change the icons on it.
I never liked the redesign the came with iOS7. Modern iOS6 style would be nice in my opinion.

1. App grouping notifications
2. Change default open with apps
2. Change default open with apps
Same here plus Dark Mode and ui enhancements. I still can't understand why Google grouped notifications with Nougat compared to previous Lollipop model which is now Apple's default instead. Notifications with iOS 10 are a mess in my opinion. Also I hope they revamp the phone app and improve iCloud services overall.
Unless it has the ability to set the dock and folder colours to the same as the background, I'll be staying on 10 for sometime 
These basic iphone apps needs a major overhaul... they are so old
Phone
Contacts
Find my friends
They should merge and unify it with the messages app, switching between the apps all the time is annoying
and plus if apple does that they get a soical network if designed right.
I want the tab for known and unknown calls/messages to work cause just like email its becoming hard to follow..

You can access Contacts from within the Phone app and initiate a Messages conversation from there as well. You can also access Contacts information from Messages app and Find My Friends information too.
This, THIS THIS! I logged back in to this forum just to try to find someone I can upvote who is saying this.
I made the mistake of migrating my entire photo library to Photos, and I have a 64GB phone and a top of the line brand new Macbook Air, and both struggle with Optimize Storage, because it does not aggressively delete fullsize thumbnails.
Consistently, the Photos app lets itself bloat to 10 or 20 gigabytes, even when I am not using it very often. Granted, I have tons of photos, and many of them are raw, but the whole point of cloud storage is for the serious storage to live in the cloud. There is absolutely no need for 20 gigabytes of photo thumbnails to ever be stored on my phone for more than an hour. The end.
Hope some Apple engineers are reading this because Optimize Storage is a great idea but it is extremely flawed.
Logged in to thumbs up this because I don't like the way it works now either. It doesn't seem to remove full quality pics until storage is critical, if at all and that's not what I want on my storage limited iPad.
It would be difficult however (impossible, realistically) to please everyone with any given caching policy because for everyone like you and I who errs on the side of aggressive maintenance there will be another who complains apple deleted their picture and they couldn't access it in a no/low bandwidth scenario. Maybe a "delete downloaded pictures in 1 hour/1 day/1 week" dialog would at least put it back in the user's hands. I'm betting is been discussed and dismissed as un-Appley at some point though.
Once you explore the ins and outs of it, GoodReader is my go-to file manager; at least when it comes to storing documents, pictures, audio, video, and more to iCloud. It took me a little bit to figure it out but now, I'm a power user at it. I just wish there was a file manager for the phone itself.

YES YES YES TO EVERYTHING YOU SAID!!! Got me over here like, "Yup...yup...oh God yes...hell yeah..."!
No No No No... if we get just 20% of all the things you ask for, we'll still have pitifull performance throughout 2018 because they once again need to focus on bugs. What we need is a MAJOR intervention:
IOS 11 should introduce NO changes at all except for one thing: Performance, Performance, Performance!!!
IOS is so laggy and slow on everything but the latest device - and even there it's still hit'n miss.
There is one other need with IOS11, but that can be done on the cloud service that does "voice to command translation":
We need a much much better Siri and specifically a siri that can handle multiple languages when referencing contextual items, objects and titles. Siri is great but if you are from a non english speaking country things are pitifull because all references to english named objects, titles and such does not work properly.

That will never happen. Once they remove something and replace it with something new, it ain't coming back. Sorry, but it's not.
I really don't see how iOS is laggy/slow. It's fast AF on the iPhone 7 Plus & iPhone 7 (well, when I used it at the Apple Store anyway), and it's plenty fast on the 6s too according to some of my friends. Also, with 10.3 switching to APFS that'll improve the performance even further.
Well, like i wrote, it's fast on the latest device, but then it really drop like a rock on deep water. Yes, it's decent on a 6s and somewhat on the 6s+.
But have you tried a 6+? It's so laggy that its bordering useless. I mean... a 5s is substantially faster and calling that fast would be quite a statement.
The "1Gb memory is enough so lets cheap out on our customers" strategy apple followed with the iphones 6 is really killing that phone now due to how bloated IOS has become. So we need a much slimmer and performance optimized IOS next time - otherwise it will be all the 2Gb memory phones that will start crawling along...
[doublepost=1488752836][/doublepost]And regarding APFS in 10.3... well you might be right on a 2Gb memory phone (6s series) but i'll bet you a case of beer it's going to kill the 1Gb phones even more due to memory pressure.
I would't dare upgrading my 6+ to 10.3. If you only knew how may times I have regretted going to 10 in the first place... it's agonizingly slow.
