i just want an iOS 8 plus. This "plus" means bugs-free. I just want iOS 8 improved.
No new features, PLEASE Apple.

I do love the idea of "Hey, Siri" being available without the unecessary component of it being plugged into a power source. I don't plug in my phone every night, and the option of being able to "talk" to it in the morning is appealing. Plus, I like to listen to music, etc., while making breakfast, and it's not plugged in there either. So "Hey, Siri, next track" would be nice.
There is, however, one thing I truly want. One thing that would make ios9 the absolute, hands down, pinnacle of releases. Transparent dock! I hate, with a passion, the weird, translucent dock of the current iteration. I have an image I love as my background, and I hate the bottom portion getting cut off.

You realize this kills the battery right? That's why you have to be plugged in.
The ability to control the direction icons default fill on a page.
I'd like to be able to have, say on my productivity page, new apps I add fill the bottom (reachable) rows with icons first instead of the top. I'd leave the top blank, have my icons right where I need them. This could be done with an option in settings, wouldn't even need a full updated version.

Flat out a better production engine for the stock keyboard, and a split keyboard for 6 Plus.
instead of widgets on lock screen how about notification center as the lock screen
yes a contextually aware iPhone just like apples watch one that turns on with movement to show notifications and such
a smaller better written OS completely rewritten with speed and compactness improvements just make it all lighter
just fix the music app Apple yall know yall can do better
and just unlock the music player at this point customers should be able to listen whatever format they choose
its time for siri to just be what was promised take her out of beta
just lets make iOS 9 so smooth and fast its incredible streamline it as much as possible

Just on the first page of this thread, there are suggestions for some AWESOME improvements that I hope get made! I'd really like to see an API for iMessage.
It would be nice if I could use a 3rd party messaging client but still iMessage. I don't think this will actually happen, though.
I'd also just like to echo the sentiment of more stability / better performance.
Finally, let me change the default apps.

I'm quite aware, yes. It's not a difficult workaround however. Simply make "Hey, Siri" available as a toggle in the control center. That way, say, during breakfast, I can toggle it on, and then turn it off after.
Add a small pop-up giving the user a warning that this feature could lead to drastically decreased battery, and we're good.
you know you can set it up so Siri activated when you bring the phone to your ear, right?
it's called going into Airplane Mode until the message times out.
YES!!
That plus an icloud drive that has some sort of point and a bit more customisation in control centre.
I dunno - the way Apple does things, if and when they do implement a feature, it's something they are going to want you to leave on by default and use as much as possible. They are not just going to waste time and resources on an "optional" feature that most people are just going to leave off.
1) Extensions for Safari (Adblock!, Ghostery etc.)
2) Quick Reply Api (Whatsapp, Facebook)
3) Split Screen Multitasking
4) Touch ID based guest account (allows private browsing, blocks certain photos/videos albums and apps)
5) ability to add any file to an email
6) better Lightning/HDMI adapter encoding
7) customize Control Center
8) Dark/Night Mode (dark interface, even darker icons, maybe timer based)
9) better iPad UI (nine icons in a folder lol)
10) reduce unused space in NC, Mail etc.
11) make it possible to hide stock apps
12) USB iPad Display Mode (use it as secondary display)
13) Api for lexicon (integrated dictionary etc.)
14) 6Plus cut/paste keyboard for the iPad
15) Option to manually clear App caches for all apps

Not really - you can already do it via jailbreaking.
The only thing a second chip would do would just not make it use as much battery, which it already barely does.
iOS 7 unveiled a completely new "white theme". While I do like it a lot, I'd love to have the option of a "black / dark theme".
I think the darker stock keyboard you get is so slick (such as when typing in your password into the AppStore).
