im all for having Facebook Integrated into the OS, but i hope they fix twitter as well, I'm still always having to input my password and user name.

i think game center has reached its peak on IOS so to speak, profiles could be fun. but a little silly on iPhones, iPad yeah that would be good.

i would love to see a usage meter for the battery, like on android. would love to know whats draining it...
there are a few good apps to use data usage,and they work well. only issue with adding one to the OS, wouldn't it pick up on our wifi usage?

would love to have photo booth on the iPhone, i love it on my mac, and it will be fun to have it on my phone.

bigger folders would be wicked, i have 3 folders for games, and its pain if I'm trying to find a game quick,

One thing that desparately needs changing is the settings app. Far too many nested menus and stuff hidden in random spots (bluetooth under general yet there are wifi and network tabs. Battery percent switch under usage). Its become worse than windows control panel.

In a sunny state of mind
1) Let me put the stupid Newsstand app in a folder. Why does Apple insist it be on my homescreen?

2) Let me hide some of the Apple included stock apps from my homescreen (even if they are physically still on my phone. Possibly allow me to search for them in the spotlight search). I don't want useless stock apps on my homescreen or even in a folder)

Agree with these wholeheartedly! Combined with larger groups, this would be the single simplest thing that would clear away most of my unwanted/rarely used apps from clogging things up. Yeah, you can add multiple pages and put the least used ones waaay at the end, but it's an inelegant solution, imo...

There is only feature that I really want...sound profiles.

I want to be able to set sounds for different times of the day, different settings, etc...

I think this would be a fantastic improvement too. Seems like it wouldn't be too hard to connect it to location -- let me define somewhere as work, and automatically set it to a pre-defined silent mode when I get there, etc.

Yeah. While I know to fiddle with it enough until I find the setting I'm looking for, my parents generally don't. An even more intuitive settings panel would make iOS even more broadly accessible/usable to anyone and everyone.

I would like to be able to clear the app badges from notification centre.
I have so many of them turned off because I don't like seeing that I have a notification outstanding, especially ************ Facebook updates.

If I clear them out of notification centre I want them to be cleared from the app as well.

I want quick reply so bad, and quick toggle for BT WIFI 3G/cellular . I travel to Europe on business and I. Don't want my iPhone to be using 3G data I get charged for this.

iOS 6 and iPhone 5 (or whatever ) can't come soon enough

I wish I could get rid of those red badges too. Often times I don't want to upgrade just yet but still don't like looks at that red badge on my icons. I would be ok if it appeared in the pull down tray as an alert as long as you can clear it from there too without having to upgrade the app

#2 is addresses by the carriers. They must notify you as you get close to exceeding your data limit. AT&T will send you a text at 75% and 90% (I think those are the correct percentages---I'm to lazy to check)

I love the Toggle switches in the multi-tasking tray.

I'd also like to see Apple use more real estate in terms if swiping up to gain another layer of functionality. Imagine swiping up and having a configurable set of favorite pages that could then be swiped side to side just like it does now. Except the configurable pages could be any screen/app such as swipe up and your favorite app opens. Swipe left and your most used settings page appears, or whatever.
