Auto Rotatable wallpapers. What I mean is option of auto daily/weekly/monthly wallpaper change. Work with albums so I can say what album to use rather than whole of camara roll. ie my wallpaper album change wallpaper (insert daily/weekly/monthly/6 montly)

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding what exactly you mean, but isn't this already an option if you go onto Settings and then Sounds. You flip vibrate to off for silent mode or vibrate to off in the notifications sounds settings.
I'm beginning to wonder if there will even BE an iOS 5.2 release this time around. If past history is any reliable guide... iOS 6 will arrive simultaneously with OS X Mountain Lion, and that's coming sooner rather than later.
This.
I rarely use orientation lock and it would be purposeful if the toggle could be used for toggling Wifi.
Other than that I'm hoping for iOS 6 this year i.e a major overhaul of the OS to make better use of the high resolution, allow some form of widgets or notifications so that one can get enjoy weather updates, new bulletins and others small things without having to go into separate apps.
Live icons
Full Bluetooth support, sending files, contacts, syncing, connecting to external GPS, etc...
Wi-Fi Direct support/Airdrop
Integrate Spotlight search into notification center - put it on top(above stocks)
Multitasking gestures - Zephyr - Flick up for the Springboard, Swipe up and
hold for the Switcher
SBSettings(Quick switches) in Notification Center - Wifi, bluetooth, airplane, cellular data, 3G, brightness
Camera app needs Timer, time/date/location imprinting, stabilization shot, 720p @ 60FPS recording option, White balance, Exposure, Light sensitivity(ISO), Contrast, Sharpness, all of these should be added.
Increase folder size, allow for multiple pages in folders - InfiniFolders
Birthday's in Calendar - show how old is person is turning into, e.g. John Smith [32]
Maps - Allow dropping more than one pin on the map, routing between them
Ability to delete photos from Photo Library
Being able to view file information in photos (say date of taking etc)
Calendar event badges on calendar(with an ability to adjust how far in
advance you can see your events, 24hours, 7 days, 14 days, etc..)
iMessage - Needs an ability to share location(Map) like with WhatsApp, right from the iMessage. Current you can only send photos from iMessage, but
Maps and Contacts shortcuts should be added too. Also it would be great if the image EXIF data was preserved when sent so the receiver could "open" that image in Maps and navigate... quickly snap a picture of a location, send it, the receiver gets the image, taps "Open in Maps" and finds the route to you.
Prevent shut down when the phone is locked
Delivery notification for normal SMS messages
Snooze time configuration option for alarm, (amount of snoozes, time in between)
Upcoming Calendar events on Lockscreen - Configure look at head
More pull down to refresh throughout the system
Private switch in Safari, not hidden in the Options.
GridTab for Safari
Smart Playlist creation on the iPhone
YouTube continuous playlist play
Fix the YouTube app seekbar touch detection
If any of these get implemented it'll be great!

search suggestions in Youtube App would be awesome. Fixing the weird bug that messes up the music player UI when you skip from a music video to a song track would be nice too. That's really about all I'm missing right now
Unless they want to add Java support to Safari
, I'd be really happy then.

I don't think they'll be making a 5.2 - wouldn't we have a beta by now if they were? I suspect they'll just show off iOS 6 at WWDC
My thoughts exactly.
WWDC is the usual time for unveiling of new iOS versions.ios 5.2/6
in my opinion Apple really should look at the jailbreak community, like they did for the iOS 5 and the notification center, and implement those as native apps. for example make Intelliscreen X a native app, as well as things like flux and infinidock/folders. also, as said before, i would like them to open up their API, like android does, to allow third-party apps to become natively installed. this would be excellent for new keyboards, such as swype (the only thing missing from my iphone to make it PERFECT) now i can go on with ideas... so i will they really need to work on the new IOS and mountain lion to make iMessages synced. for example. if i message someone on my iPhone (phone number) then switch to my computer (email) it should come up in the same conversation, not two different ones. as well notifications need to be synced across all devices, if i clear it one my iPhone it is cleared on my computer, iPad, etc. landscape mode for lockscreen, home screen and everything else including a landscape lock is a must. if apple doesn't merge with the jailbreak community and Intelliscreen X, they need to put notification reminders in the status bar. for example, if i have a text message/iMesage that is unread, there should be a little iMessage icon in the status bar reminding me that i have an unread text, as well for email and such. also there should be a way to clear notifications on the lockscreen without opening them, a way to set a specific time for how long the banners stay up for. even though its a pipe dream, they should implement a way to reply to messages/email/tweets/Facebook from the lock screen, notification center without ever having to open the app. just like biteSMS or more ideally Intellescreen X. this could allow for the total removal of the messages app if you would like. (obviously you would be able to read your entire conversation in the notification center.) notification center widgets is also a must! as well as the ability to write a note/reminder right in the notification center without opening those apps, so its right there when you need to see it. notification center on the lock screen is also extremely important. as said before i would really like to see the ability to take a picture with the volume up button, and when you hit the volume down button it automatically switches to video. i would like a better youtube app, this one just seems so "against the flow" of apple if that makes any sense. the ability for Siri to tweet, post to Facebook, search youtube and google, but right in Siri. like when you search google, the results come up inside Siri and then you can choose the link you want to open up in safari app. further into Siri, it is NEVER, i repeat NEVER going to happen, but if they opened up that API and made it so that third-party apps could natively integrate with it would be amazing!. group messaging. i can set groups in my contacts/messaging/email app and one click the group name to send a message to everyone in that group. i think the idea of putting the spotlight on the homescreen was genius. however, all they should do is put the little magnifying glass there, and when you tap it, the spotlight bar rolls out so you can search,or just put it in the notification center. removing sock apps would be clutch, i HATE those apps. i only use the clock maps and calculator. why do i need the other ones? the ability to copy to a clipboard, then when you wanted to paste them, it gave you a list of all the things you had copied, so you could copy multiple things without having to go back and fourth. okay... i think I'm done with my rant, but those are just some things i know will never happen, but they would be so cool if they had them! it would be the most idea phone EVER! thanks for reading and i really enjoyed this forum! the wishing is always fun!

Collapsible sections in Notification Center.
Ability to add widgets to NC.
View NC on lock screen.
Messages app opens to the chat list unless you minimised it while in a chat.
Contact photos in Messages app.
Just a few ideas from apps/tweaks that already exist in Cydia.

Can you please add paragraphs next time?
Thanks

I have one problem. Intelliscreen X should never be made a default app by Apple. It's good, but it just doesn't make sense. It's, essentially, a notification centre replacement for use at the lockscreen. Lockscreen being the focus word. The functions that Intelliscreen X has, makes having a lockscreen redundant. It is also very crowded and complicated with FAR too many functions for the average user. It's just very messy.
Then they can take things from it like adding widgets, collapsible sections, clear single notifications for any one app and show events further than one day ahead.
For me I love it, but intelliscreenx has options to enable/disable things you want and don't want, plus apple would make it there own ya know? I really lint the email/twitter option as well as the collapse able items, the more options overall, I understand the average user would not like it... But it's just a dream!
some good ideas but more like 6.x ideas they wont do major updates if the number to the right of the decimal goes up those are for fixing "bugs"

My thoughts exactly.
I assume by "usual time" you mean they did it once... in 4 iOS unveilings...
haha.But I'm just being a jerk, because yeah I'm sure that is the new trend that will continue for at least a few years.
I didn't realize that was the case. Thanks for the info!I assume by "usual time" you mean they did it once... in 4 iOS unveilings...
But I'm just being a jerk, because yeah I'm sure that is the new trend that will continue for at least a few years.
hahaha sorry guys! i went off a bit, i definitely should have made that less/easier to read apologies good people!
Hey it's fine you had good ideas that's all that matters
BTW/sorry for comin of sarcastic/mean didn't mean to
I'd like to see a way to automatically received reminders to send contacts birthday cards the week of their birthday.
I already have most of my contacts' birthdays in the contacts app, just toss in a reminder to send Bob a card in the Reminders app. Add a check box to each contact, "Do you want a birthday reminder?"
