I now think that we might see a visual cleanup of the OS in iOS 15, to make it more in line with macOS 11/ 12, and I am hoping that this makes it leaner and nimbler as well.
Battery calibration for all devices would be helpful. Especially for people on/off betas.
Could help see better battery health. Always a worry seeing it drop 2 % just during the iOS 14.6 beta cycle.

new icons maybe to match MacOS.
or maybe the choice to toggle day/night mode icon colours would look cool.
FFS, let us get rid of that home bar, been there since 2017, surly people aren’t that stupid and know how to swipe up to go home by now.
Wallpaper color-matched theme implemented systemwide... like Android 12, it looks nice and gives a personal touch to everyone's iPhone depending on your wallpaper.
It would look good but I don’t know if I would like it on my Apple product. I like the minimalism and „boring“ look of the iOS UI
Well, it could be an option and one can turn it off.
I like Apple's minimal design but once in a while I wish I could tweak it a little bit for a few days so that it doesn't feel boring.. it only makes you appreciate the simplicity of the minimalistic design when you try a different one.

It would be really great if we could finally change those two apps on the lockscreen. I don’t know why I need space for the camera app if I can just do the same with a swipe to the left.
I also like that Apple doesn’t give too many customization options, for example I really dislike the possibility to change the App icons. I just like the way how Apple districts things.
If you don't like then you don't have to use it.
It's an option for those who want to try out a little customization while still using Apple's iOS and not switching to Android.
The screenshots form Android 12 with wallpaper color-matched theme looks nice though real world usage maybe different. Depending on how people like this feature on Android, Apple could very well adopt it in future iOS versions.
And there is always an option not to enable it and use the default iOS experience.

Apple desperately needs to take Video Playback back under control.
If you pick 50 different apps whose primary purpose is video playback, you'll find 50 different playback user interfaces, and none of them are doing anything special or remarkable.
Apple needs to take the best from all of them, and make 1 Video Playback UI, with enough options for developers to meet their needs. And then require them to use it instead of making their own.
We don't need 50 different takes on the play button.

From that list, I think number 5 and 7 are the most probable to happen. I really wish Apple realized that the “new“ widgets are actually worse than the previous ones. I could use a Widget to activate toggles and interact without triggering the whole app, but on the new widgets that’s impossible. It‘s just an informative pane, it is less useful for many purposes. And yeah, regarding point number 7, I think they are adopting a new, less flat style with the icons.
Also, your point number 8 could be really handy with apps that tend to grow in size because potatoes
I will share my list of new features on the following days, but I think we can rest assured that A9 devices won’t be supported by the new operating system, and Apple will take full advantage of the efficiency cores for specific tasks.
Totally agree on the widgets. The iOS 8 widgets had variable sizing and interactivity. Why they decided to remake them years later with less functionality I don't really understand. Even if they bring them up to par with iOS 15 developers may be reluctant to redo their widgets once again so soon. Similar sentiment for the limited iPad implementation where they can't be placed on the home screen.

Could definitely change to something else. That sound never sat right with me either.
Hope to see a synchronized Notification system. Would be nice if iOS would synchronize all notification settings via iCloud. For example if I delete a notification on my iPhone it also should be deleted on my iPad
Likewise, same apps set up with different SIM lines would be DSDS paradise on iPhone, I suppose!
Yes, big time. Yes. It is crazy to think how they have not yet done it and are getting away with it.
