That's literally the exact same ****ing suggestion that you just said was flawed.
I would love a dark mode and that should be something toggled on by default on black/space grey devices. This is one of those features that's present in some form on OS X but missing on iOS for some odd reason, i.e.: the notification center on OS X has more default widgets available than the iOS version and some of the OS X NC widgets were previously on iOS but disappeared after iOS 7 (Weather forecast, social media, etc.)
Great list!
I would add just a few more to this:
A completely redesigned and streamlined music app. The Apple Music service and the radio features should be spinned off into separate apps so the default music app will be the tradition iPod music player from before.
Redesigned action buttons that actually look like buttons, takes design cues from OS X.
Better UI optimization for the iPad.
Moderately refreshed UI taking more design cues from OS X.
Here's a few things I'd like to see on a future update:
1. The ability to set different days for Do Not Disturb. I do not want to be disturbed early on a weekend morning, but I do want that call or text on a weekday morning.
2. I want a number row on the keyboard. I hate having to bounce back and forth between numbers and letters.
3. I would like the ability to set default apps. For example, I prefer using Google Maps over Apple Maps. If Apple allows us to have and use an app, we should be allowed to set it as the default.

In terms of the Camera app I'd like to be able to set the ISO and things like that without having to resort to a third party app.
Oh! I'd also like a stock weather app and calculator for iPad!!!
My iOS 10 wish list? No new iOS 10.
How about we make software as it was before...
No need for yearly big updates.
Why not add each feature on a .x update? So instead of having every year a buggy OS we start having something really stable...
Sure for marketing purposes this might suck but in the end your users will be happier getting free goodies throughout the year!

gifs animate in photos app

Not necessarily in order:
1 - Allow us to place app icons in whatever position or number we want per home screen.
2 - Widgets.
3 - Allow us to either delete of or truly hide unwanted stock apps.
4 - Allow choice in choosing default apps (browser, maps, etc.).
5 - Improved (more manual adjustments) camera app.
6 - Some sort of a utility that will allow us to manage the "Other" BS without
having to erase the whole damned iPhone (or iPad)!
Realistically, I don't see more than maybe one of these things (if any) happening, though.

My List:
"Private Mode" for iOS and Mac so that if I don't want a certain topic I am talking to my wife about (Christmas presents) to be seen by my kids walking by the iMac I forgot to sign out of, I can temporarily "mute" the conversation from syncing to everything. Just like Do Not Disturb is now for individualized conversations, so should syncing in Continuity.
"Remote Wipe" synced conversations so you can kill a conversation about what Santa is bringing your kids after you realized you just texted your wife for three days buying things she sends me with Amazon links while your kid is using your iPad to watch Netflix, that, guess what STILL doesn't have user accounts that I can sign out from.
Yeah… Thanks Apple. My children now know that Santa is not real.
To recap:
Private Mode for Message syncing (a la Do Not Disturb)
Remote Wipe for Messages (a la Safari Tabs)
User Accounts (a la every other decent tablet and computer ever)

Whatever apple calls when you swipe up from the bottom can have quick access to turn on/off wifi, camera, flashlight etc to have a option To turn off/on cellular for the iPads with cellular
Have the red badge notification bubble removed and use the top status/ menu bar to indicate a notification .
I honestly think Apple will do this especially with the size of the iPad Pro. Having to look all over on that beast for red badges is silly for its size.
Apple also should figure out a better way to utilize the iPad and iPhone's home screen then having it for a grid of apps. Most people in my opinion have gotten use to smart phones now and don't necessarily need all the apps in front us all the time .
