Apple

Locking apps and a kids mode like Samsung has.

"Close all" option for the open apps.

AOD for any OLED iPhone, since software can mitigate the refresh rate by simply making the AOD screen refresh rate 1fps@10-20hz.

Bigger battery. I don’t care about titanium, camera… just give us a bigger battery ffs. Rant over

Separate volume for alarms

Time travel app. Apple is holding it back for the iPhone 17.

Competent Siri

All day battery life

T9 when finding contacts

Organize my screens however I want. That's the ONE thing I miss about Android.

A better keyboard, especially better swipe typing.

Make Siri have more than 2 brain cells. My cat is smarter.

Why can’t I say “hey siri ring” so it can ping or ring when I can’t find it under my pillow?

Waterproof

Laser pointer/rangefinder

User traffic reporting in Apple Maps

A “clear all” button to close all apps instead of swiping up one by one.

Being able to put apps on my homescreen where I want them, not where Apple wants.

Reverse wireless charging

Meat.

The thing should be just as it is (more or less), but the insides should be absolutely STUFFED with meat (and meat sauce, as is needed to stop the meat from drying out).

The phone should have an always on low power screen, it has to have a full-fat USB-C connection for the same drag and drop file management functionality that android provides, and when I squeeze the phone, meat juice and little bits of meat should come out of the seams.

It should smell like a meatball sub, and it should drip like a wet greasy meatball sandwich after being firmly squeezed.

That they always crack 😭

I want to be able to switch my location on/off from the control center without jailbreaking it again.

Under screen finger print button!!

Well in summary a lot of things

Option to get rid of the damn camera shortcut from the lock screen. I accidentaly swipe and enable camera like 3 times a day. At least the option to make it clickable like the flashlight.

Fix the broken Android interface! Texting to android is crippled… sending movies / photos taken on an iPhone to another person without an iPhone is crippled. It’s hard to use an iPhone for business when the results are not predictable or are inconsistent. I see a clear photo - I send it - the person who gets it sees a blurry photo!!! Wtf

I still think the emergency service call flow is poor. When things are an emergency. The interaction is really unnatural. Even more so for a child/elderly person.

Side by side apps on the screen and multiple users

My gf's contact ( cuz I am single as f)

The option to disable the camera shutter sound when you're just taking a screen shot.

In case you're wondering do I find that annoying Apple. The answer is yes, yes I do 😁 lol

The notifications are so badly done on ios

Delayed massages. I really need it, and Android have had it for the better part of a decade.

Navigating apps setting NOT via settings app - most annoying thing i have to do regularly, after android did it right.

Split screen multi tasking.

Stopping the daily alarm when you wake up before it rings ffs!

Being able to make private folders and hide photos in albums from the main camera roll

RAM management

Notification cooldown. I don’t need my phone to notify me more than once for 2-3 texts of the same person within a couple seconds.

On Android, if you highlight text and then press the shift key, you can capitalise or all caps words without having to delete and re type the words or letters. Such a small but fantastic QoL improvement.

A way to hold it that isn’t painfully awkward

Hardware - an ir sensor to use as a remote and such.

Software - easier access to Bluetooth devices. I don’t have EarPods so I have to go to settings > Bluetooth > device > disconnect then the same on the next device to pair it.

I wish I could just swipe down then disconnect whatever was connected.

Great keyboard Better Notification function Split screen

Affordability

More customization!!

Close all apps button.

1. Siri is the worst virtual assistant on the market, and I’m not being hyperbolic.

2. For 15 Pro users, let the action button do more than one thing. Let us set a press and double press.
