  • 120hz display
  • Better battery life
  • Touch ID under screen
  • Always on display
  • 1TB storage
  • Even smaller bezels
  • A true-black color
True black color would be nice. I still very much love the 7 Plus I've got in jet black. Just put glass around it and a good non shiny dark metal siding. It would look amazing in my opinion.
 
Full features even on non-max version. Keep face-id, keep ports - eliminate the "easy" screen shots that cause non-wanted screen shots at least 1 per day
ability to choose dark mode only for certain apps, ability to only do screen rotate for certain apps - some of these may be software but...
 
I’m not planning on upgrading to the 13 but I’m hoping these features will be at least on the 14:

ProMotion display
Smaller notch (don’t think they’re going to get rid of it completely)
Bigger battery
Would love to see Touch ID under the screen as well.
 
My iPhone 13 Pro Max Dream/Wishlist:
No Notch
TouchID & FaceID
ProMotion/Always on Display
Jet Black Color
Brushed Aluminum or Titanium Sides
USB C or Portless
LED Notification Light or Software Mimic
Reverse Charging

No notch and USB-C would make me at least consider switching back. :)
That and ProMotion could tip the scales.
 
Bigger battery, 12 Pro is garbage
USB C but they won't, they want you to buy MagSafe crap for port less iPhone.
smaller notch
touch ID on power button
reverse wireless charging
120hz
AOD
Jet black model again.

I’d like some brighter bolder colour choices, more like when the Xʀ was released. Oh and a better battery for the mini... that’ll do me! I don’t ask for much haha
 
I think it would be neat to see a super amoled screen like Samsung has and a pen like the Note 20 ultra has.
 
- 120 Hz LTPO Display
- smaller Notch + Ultrasonic Max Sensor for the fingerprintsensor under the display
- better use of the big display on the Pro Max
- DDR5 Ram
- 4000+ mAh Battery
 
Variable 120 HZ Display
USB C or old style MacBook MagSafe pin port
Dedicated Macro Camera magnifying glass read writing on a penny etc
Touch ID in the power button
Removal of the simcard (deep Future obviously)
DDDR5 Ram
1 TB storage
Flush Camera Hardware and use space for massive battery
True Black color glass back to hide all of the cameras
iPhone 3/3GS Style design language (my personal wish)

Software side; Multitasking 2 windows at least
toggle in camera app to turn off night mode and have it stay off
removal of quicktake video and bring back burst mode to that
actual real life live wallpapers ie matrix rain or falling leaves etc Home Screen
removing an iMessage after it’s been sent in 10 minute time frame like FB
a way to show all your downloaded Apple Music subscription songs and buy them
More animated/ live app icons like calendar and clock Home Screen
Calaculator/weather app and Xcode on the iPad

Using an 11 Pro Max here to replace a damaged XS Max. I'd like to see a larger mAh, but with refinements to 2021's A15 SOC, and using Qualcomm's successor to the X55 used in the current 12, we might not need a larger capacity battery. Qualcomm's X60 is built on a 5nm process unlike the 7nm process the current X55 is being built on. This alone should result it improved power efficiency. Combine that with an even more power efficient Apple A15, and Apple might leave the battery capacity alone, although it would be nice to see that increased.

I'd personally like to see the following
120Hz (spoiled by my iPad Pro)
USB-C (wishful thinking, extremely unlikely.. they will probably remove the lightning connector all together)
Better camera for super close ups.

I only think 120Hz is likely. The rest is wishful thinking.
