This could be awesome. I am a fan of modding and tweaking IOS. Maybe Apple could allow third party tweaks for ios even with its approval.

More customization options to the user- themes, different wallpapers on different home screens, dock, folder and lock screen customizations.
The point is everyone's iPhone doesn't have to look the same, let the people customize to their taste without having to jailbreak.

I've said it before, and I don't think it is ever coming. . . But I wish there were some arrow keys integrated into the on-screen keyboard.
This would save me so much time on both iPad and iPhone.

Tempted to say something like have one app called 'Mall'... in that app, have three sections 'iTunes Store', 'App Store', 'Game Store'.... Main reason is I'm getting sick of seeing the top 25 apps in both free and paid to be mainly games. Now that the iPhone and iPad is considered as a gaming device, developers are focusing more and more on games. I know there are categories, but I want to see the most popular 25 apps from all categories (except games).
Obviously see Siri come out of beta (and support for NZ
)
Maybe stock alerts.
Facebook integration.
I feel the multitasking can be improved.
I want the bar up the top (with carrier etc) to be more consistent... i.e. on the home screen it's dark, but in settings etc it's light.... I think it should permanently be be between the two.... More like the light option (with colors for signal strength etc), but maybe not that bright of a grey background.
Few others I can't think of right now.

The reason I quoted you is because we are the NZ brotherhood
but on a more serious note Yes multitasking needs a UI change if we are being brutally honest here the whole of IOS needs a UI refresh.If apple is making the Mac OS looks like the iOS, do you realy think that they will change iOS soon?
iCloud for groups, the ability to work on a shared document in iCloud and it be accessible to more than one person at a time...
This thread is for one thing you would LIKE to see,don't have to be realistic although admit it it would be nice if they redesigned the UI.
MySpace integration! I'm joking. Including Facebook integration next to Twitter while giving users the ability to turn it off in settings. I, personally, get sick of seeing "tweet" in every sharing option because I'm not really a Twitter user.
More widget options.

Multi tasking the ' Floris ' way.
Instead of the app sliding up, revealing the apps row below the dock, I rather see the app shrink down. That way you can just slide between them, with a bit of a preview of the app in front and behind it. This will work wonderfully especially on the iPad.
Secondly, if you hold 1 app that's active, and touch another app that's active. It adds a 'pane' in the first active app. So when you're in the app you can switch between the app's control-options just by swiping to the right. Somewhat how many apps currently disclose their app settings.
This would be great for reading 1 thing, copy pasting to an editor, and having an overview of data available to you from both apps. Rather than going through pressing home button a bunch of times, switching the apps in full in and out of memory active state, and individually copy pasting things, etc. This gives a bit more 'overview' and fake ' screen estate '.
Additionally I just want the ability that if you are in a home screen and there's a group, and you touch another group. That the first group collapses and auto expands the other group. I hate having to touch the screen 4x just to close one and open the other, then the app, etc.
One more thing
The clock app ^_^ on iPad.
Ok, really: one more thing. I wish Apple (as annoying as it is with its rules) would 'force' or rather 'require' applications for the iPhone that work on the iPad to adapt to the iPad screen. So any iOS6 iPhone app won't be a no-landscape no-modern-keyboard and no-scale-to-screen app. An update to the end user would give them a working app (and indirectly, forcing developers to finally get rid of those stupid and ugly, low quality outdated iPhone only apps that work on iPad) that's using great fonts, great images, scales to the full screen, works in landscape mode, and doesn't make the iPad apps feel like they're 5 years old.

I think 
is planning on turning iOS on its head this time. I think its going to be brightened, sped up, and made more iOS-y.
seriously, I think we're in for big changes this time. Content mall is a good idea, whoever mentioned that. SBSettings, fully realized sharing.
I want my damn phone to know my face. I know she can see me!!

Yes! This would be great. Even if it's just Apple's own tweaks, give us something.
Another small one that someone already mentioned..the ability to share a YouTube link via SMS.
And I have no idea how they'd do it and I can't really offer a suggestion since I'm not exactly creative, but maybe it's time to change the look of iOS. Aside from backgrounds the home screen basically looks the same as it did on the original iPhone. Not the biggest deal but it might be nice to see something new.
A clock icon that shows the real time. A weather icon that shows the real weather.
The Calendar icon has shown the real date since iOS 1.0.0, so I know it's possible.

The clock is probably incredibly easy toimplement. Weather might be an issue because it has to connect to the Internet to get hat information....what would happen to icons for iPads not connected to the Internet? I wouldn't hold my breath for the weather to be changed.
Refresh the spring board, let you move icons anywhere on the screen, maybe some new animations etc.
The biggest thing i would like to see is an easier way to share files between apps. Something like a central documents folder.
Well I use the built in twitter all the time. I don't have a Facebook account and will never create one. Build in Facebook support would be an utterly wasted feature.
See how opinions work?
