I've given up on Apple. I'll be buying an Android phone next year.

Make sure it's nexus, otherwise you're going to get disappointed.

So...starting s thread about what you'd like to see in the next iOS version just to then say you are done and leaving...?

I know. I've used a nexus 4 before as my primary phone for two years. I'm really tempted by the 5X as well and if they release a successor, I'll def be picking it up.

If Apple adds those features that I requested, I can see myself staying.

- Weather, Calculator, Health, Passbook, Stocks and Voice Recorder apps for iPad, all with iCloud sync
- a more visual approach for Siri (like Google Now) instead of the current voice one.
- a modern keyboard with swipe and a spellchecker that doesn't suck.
- an Apple Maps service that doesn't suck.
- a revamp for all online services because they are all subpar for the moment.
- default apps.
- better management for default and third party apps (like clear cache and block).
- better audio and video codecs support.

Still waiting for at least a second user account on iPad....

iOS is built for touch. I don't see this working in an good or useful way for the same reason I don't see touch on OS X working in any good or useful way.

You can use the keyboard on-screen as a trackpad on iOS9 (2 fingers on iPad, 1 finger on iPhone).

Just jailbreak and get (most of) them now.

Opening NFC to anything other than Apple Pay

 

[BillyMatt87]

A major revamp of the Videos app that brings it in line with the music app. But they are probably already working on this to align with next year's Apple TV subscription service.

But aesthetically, mirror the music app. The organizational UI is primitive. Where's my "recently added" section at the top? Why can't I organize my content via genres, directors, year, release date, etc.? Where the hell is a simple search field at the top? And by God, once and for all please get rid of that horrendously skeumorphic clapper board for the icon and give it the clean and simple iOS 7 design treatment that it should have deserved over two years ago.

I like the Videos icon, the new Apple Music icon is absolutely hideous (the hot red gradient icon was so much nicer), now it's just another garish, dull and mostly white icon.

The only change to the Videos app that I could suggest is to have the app be a dark theme rather than the all-white which would provide better contrast with the content.

My wish list: return to the iOS 6 UI theme.

Hey, a man can dream, can't he?

 

[BillyMatt87]

^ An iOS 6 theme should at least be an option in Settings as long as it has more or less the same features!

Apple could please everyone that way!

 

[Nalmond92]

Multitasking within the same app e.g. Two safari tabs on each side or two pages documents.

ability to have public transport as an option for leaving time in calendars.

More continuity features E.g. Come into the house and Mac starts to play current song/podcast.

Siri 3.0 - can refer back to previous conversation to understand meaning. Developer API.

The ability to add a calendar event for a specific calendar - seriously not sure why you can't do this when you can make a reminder for separate lists.

Siri alarm - after you turn off a morning alarm Siri will read news headlines from news app. Weather updates 'bring a coat with you today it will rain later'. Read out calendar information for the day and give you a time to leave the house to get to work on time by car or when to leave to get a bus/train that will get you to work by a specific time.

More use for 3D Touch - 3D Touch a folder to bring a list of apps in said folder press harder on one to open.

I would really appreciate an overhaul of the iOS grid icon system along with being able to increase the size of the icons so that they have space to display dynamic information (like in Windows Phones).

It is the 10th version, after all. The time has come to change up the grid of icons that has remained static in 10 years, especially for the iPad's sake.

I'm on the 9.1PB and I can't be bothered downgrading. Have stuff I don't wanna lose.

Now we have 2GB of ram. I want multitasking.

There is no excuse with the + to not have it in some form!

You really think Apple will take advantage of the bigger RAM? Probably not considering that they can't even properly optimize the UI for the iPad's larger display sizes.

Apple has some great hardware and specs for their iOS devices but iOS does not even take advantage of them.

 

[CTremblay85]

While I'm not sure how many people use this, but my wish for IOS 10 would be a better field test mode.

 

[CMoore515]

Design refresh. Clean up the UI just a bit.
Speed.
Let me remove Apple installed apps or at least hide them.

 

[pat500000]

My wish? I wish there is no more new IOS until iOS 9 is cleared up.

Wishes since at least iOS 7 days...clearly they just remained the same wishes.

I don't think it but I do wish for it!!
