YES!!!
That's the primary thing I am hoping for!
And it wouldn't be bad if they added also:
1. revamped notifications;
2. better privacy controls (limited access to Contacts, limited access to internet for the apps).
Got a tip for us?

I would like the ability to manage groups in the Contacts app. Not just toggling group visibility on and off as it is today
This is great list of items I would like to see. The other thing I can’t wait for would be proper family photo/album sharing/master photo library.
- Better customisation of widgets. I.e have a Smart Stack but be able to pick what’s in, 4 icon in one ie batteries not taking up 2 icon lines
- Custom icon grid for page and home bar. i.e 5x5 not 4x4
- App Library for iPadOS
- profiles that allow iPad and iPhone to have same layout

I’d like the ”missing” iOS apps to finally make their way to iPadOS. Meaning, Health and the full Fitness apps with activity data (which is already in iCloud anyway, no reason not to let users view and manage their own data on all of their own devices). The Weather app should come over as well, and now that Apple’s bought Dark Sky I’m hoping that a redesign that includes iPadOS is coming. I’d even like to see the Wallet app so we can utilize the full screen for spending data and Apple Card categories - whatever’s crammed into the iPad’s settings app isn’t enough. Finally I’d love to see a stand-alone Phone app on the iPad with wifi calling, and if they made it so that voicemails were visible via iCloud that would be amazinggggg. Ive used my iPad for calls way more than I ever have this past year and not being able to access my voicemails on my iPad is a huge pain. Plus, having continuity phone calls in FaceTime feels haphazard and sort of slapped together in a not-so-nice way.
Other than that I’d love it if full external display support came to the iPad as well. It’d be great if we could connect them to an external monitor and then close our iPad’s cases for something like clamshell mode, or leave our iPads open for a real extended desktop, somehow.

Can apple offer a system wide per app volume control? Not all apps allow you to change volume independently and adjusting master volume stops me from enjoying music while using the app if I use any sort of headphone. No, AirPods Max won’t do this for me.
Got your point, but what about the cases when your phone is picked but by your kid or some other family / household member? Maybe if the FaceID failure snapshot could be activated only when the iPhone is in "lost mode" it could present less concerns if any..just wondering.
Honestly, I’d like to know if my kids or other family members are picking up my phone when I’m not around. Would be nice to know so proper conversations can be had.
half swipe down the screen for notifications center, makes one-handed use easy
just design an app library without ****ing it up with lovely apple flavors a la the automatic sorting bs. My god, just blatantly rip of Android or WP8, that's all it needs.
system wide equalizer (not late night mode or accessibility one-button stuff for airpods, a real one for all devices)
other than those i'm set, maybe default music app idk

Oh, yes, agree RE: dual accounts. Mentioned this to a friend who thought it was absurd for phones but frankly i'd love this.
I'd like to see a large indicator of some sort when my phone is on silent mode. Maybe make everything on the homescreen grayscale when on silent mode.
I missed a few calls yesterday because I forgot to switch it back.

Oh I have a fun idea. Handoff music between Mac and iOS. If you’re listening to a song, playlist, or album on your Mac, you can pick up where you left off on your iPhone. This would work especially well for people with Apple Music since they carry the same library on the go.
Personally, I’d hate this.
An icon in the menu bar, similar to when rotation lock is on would be more appreciated than a grayscale Home Screen.
iOS 14.5
my wish list
- Native OCR
- Would like to have a guest account for the iPad so I can pass it around (clients or colleagues) without worrying my account's info; docs, mail, etc can easily be accessed.
- OCR!!!!!! with Apple's special sauce of simplicity in it's use
- print out Reminder lists
- Ability to create complex routes in Maps and save routes in my iCloud (like a native version of ride with GPS)
- OCR - geez we have all been using the iPhone's camera to capture visual Notes, just allow the image's text get turned into text
- record phone calls so I can re-listen to important info when I fail to take notes correctly
For obvious reasons, I use Do Not Disturb mode at night on my phone. But I'd love to be able to tell Siri "do not disturb for an hour" and it puts the phone into silent mode for the specified amount of nap time. It can currently only save one timeframe.
That one is WAY overdue. No good reason for Handoff not to work; Continuity has been around since iOS 8.
