More battery.
Less ugly antenna lines.
Flush camera.
Fully functional Siri outside of a few countries.
Steve Jobs screensaver.

Longer battery life, I want inductive charging, I also want that camera sticking out go away.
Apparently it would kill Apple, affect their sales, ruin their image, damage the purity of the iPhone to have it 1mm thicker in order to have better battery life :>
They'll increase the thickness for 3d touch, but not for longer battery life?
Raise your hand if you'd rather have 3d touch over longer battery life. No one? Anyone?

Better battery, much better camera, better screen quality as in all seriousness the screen is dreadful when compared to the Note5 or Z5.
4 inch monster. Better battery life on the 4.7 inch, the 5.5 already has fantastic life but more would not hurt. OIS in all models.
higher pixel density 1080p on the standard iphone
a 4.3 inch phone - 4 is reachable all over, but feels restrictive for games, slightly bigger would be ideal
make it a bit thicker to allow a larger battery - which would also allow a flush camera
a grippier back
ability to access each file in a file browser
thinner side bezels

A 3.5" screen that instantly becomes a 9.7", 13" or 34" screen when needed.
Thirty-year battery life.
Optical zoom.
Black finish.

I'd like to see a slate black color option again. Space grey is still silver to me.
Having chargers with you is just a poor solution to a problem that doesn't need to exist. With normal usage and services like 4G it can be hard to get a full day of use out of the battery.
10 hours is not a full day.
Just coz you managed to finish your working day on a single charge, i wouldn't call it full day (24h is a full day)... unfortunately with the battery capacity these days, if you want to finish your day on the safe side, unless you're a light user, you need to carry a charger (or battery pack\battery case) with you, or at least having one in the car\working place.
I hope one day we will have one week usage from a single charge, like the old Nokia days... this constant running after battery charging is something i hate the most, spacial when im forgetting to charge it before im going out in the evening after a full day of usage. Luckily im having charger in my car, if not, no chance to finish the night with a working phone.
The phone functions perfectly for me. At least 10 hours on a single charge for me. That's amazing. Better than any Android I've owned without having to mess with battery mods and AI. So what is this about "But I guess thinness of the device is more important then it functioning to many people"? If your phone doesn't last you at least your working day then maybe you should be looking at your usage. Even a dumbphone used at that percentage or scale wouldn't last nearly as long as it could.
When it comes to people complaining about battery. I've learned that its not because the battery life is terrible or bad, its because those people want to consume more. And even if Apple caved in and gave the public a really thick iPhone with a big thick battery the consumption would just increase and those people will be back to begging for better battery life.

My usage.
You are right, I want it to be a better "phone" since my business requires me talking on it.
I'm like you, I keep chargers scattered around the world. Not a very elegant solution but it works.
This is the absolute best I've ever gotten, like I mentioned above its good enough. But this isn't the longest I've worked and work is only half my day.
Full signal strength, wifi, pure business...well 2% Facebook but I had 5% battery consumption in "settings" so....lol
40% profit margin, with 2/3 money coming in from outside USA. Perhaps a 10% drop to 30% profit would be sufficient.Yes, lower price. Overall engineering costs must be down by now. But, as long as the minions, including me,keep buying it won't happen.
I will also vote for longer battery life as it is less than my 6 Plus. I would say about 10-15% for me.
Otherwise, pretty damn good as is.
Reminds me of my thread from a year ago:

Longer battery life, and 1080p resolution on both models.
there is seriously no need for 2k screens on anything less than 5.6 and up screens. unless you want garbage battery life.

Lighter weight
Squared edges
Flush camera
Less yellow in the gold (similar to 5/5S)
Less pink in the rose gold (similar to real rose gold)

Long battery life, quick charging and 4"-4.3" screen option (but not low cost version).
How about moving the power button to Shinkarm someplace other than opposite the volume button.
Endless daily frustration, as i knew it would be after a similar lousy experience with a Windows Mobile phone a decade earlier.
Seriously, what design idiot thought that would be a good idea? Even more perplexing to me is that it made it past round one of prototype testing.
Edit:. also, I would like Apple to improve autocorrect to where it does not think that Shinkarm is ever an appropriate replacement word.

I want them to eliminate the 3.5mm headphone jack so I'll feel less inclined to upgrade again and actually keep my 6s for 2-3 years.
What I'd like to see in the next iphone I buy though, is...
a slightly larger screen on the regular iPhone size. Squeeze a 5"-5.2" screen on a body roughly the same size, or a little bigger than the 6/6s.
Give me OIS as standard in ALL the current iPhones, not just the Plus.
Give us 20-25% more battery life in the standard iPhone. Seriously, the 6s battery currently is almost enough, but falls short on some days. A little bit more battery life would be all the difference needed. And yes, by all means, make it a little thicker, no one is going to complain!
