Besides camera quality and battery life

Since the Home Screen is getting shortcuts and widgets now I’d like to also be able to individualize a lot more about it. Starting with changing or hiding the name/text of apps, being able to put them anywhere (empty spots in the middle) but also things like creating widgets in a similar way to creating shortcuts (rather than pressing and getting a pop up just show the info live).

Then I’d also like more control about what’s being shown in context Menues. There is a lot of clutter for example when sharing something. I dislike having options I’m not using at all.

But it’s already going into a great direction. I used to love the simplicity of not being able to individualize much but lately have gotten into it quite a bit. It helps me stay organized.

Personally hardware wise it’s pretty good. I would just say faster charging. Reverse wireless charging that works with watch or AirPods etc.

But iOS is where things can really improve. It’s honestly not that great. More form over function

Base iPhones at 6’3 display

Uh, a more robust file management system, separate volume controls for various uses (media, calls, alarm, etc), more cohesive Notifications, and faster Charging speeds. I’m sure there’s more but that’s just off the top of my head.

It’s a hard question to answer because you just don’t know where technology might go next. A couple decades ago, you might have asked how much better flip phones can get, and here we are today…

Personally, one of my dreams is a phone that I can stretch to become bigger if I need the screen size, and then I can just squish/fold/whatever it back down to fit in my pocket. Maybe through some magic, we’ll get full frame camera sensors in phones? Long-distance wireless charging? And of course there’s silicon improvements—it would be pretty cool to have the equivalent of a i9 14900k and a 4090 in your pocket.

I want Apple Pencil support. Then I'll be happy.

A universal back gesture doesn’t make any sense. Windows Phone had a dedicated back button. Which was a mistake. There are many situations where there isn’t a logical “back”. It should only be available when it makes sense.

[–] emaxxman@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Two apps side by side. A back button. A close all apps button or option.

I just switched from a Samsung s9+ to the iPhone 15 pro max. It’s only been a week. Love the phone but those 3 features are really missed right now

More better. You’re welcome.

I think they should improve their hardware. Fingerprints stains are quite an issue.

Solid state batteries ( better longevity, better handle on extreme low or high temperatures, 2.5x the energy per square, so the battery can be smaller with larger autonomy then the current ones ).

Notch / Dynamic Island hardware also needs to go under the screen.

There’s a lot to improve :)

[–] Bittersweetblossom@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Solid state batteries haven’t actually been made yet, it’s been theorized by the same man who gave us ion-lithium batteries John B. Goodenough though. Supposedly some companies are trying to make it a reality.

[–] Alasdair91@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I reckon the hardware has basically peaked, but the software has a long way to go.

[–] Employ_Aggressive@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’d like it to be foldable. Have it open to he size of an iPad mini. I’d buy one in an Instant. At least it would be different.

[–] whistlewink@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Use an Google Pixel and you'll have your answer. Apple is missing a LOT of features that android has.

[–] liftingrussian@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Put 120 Hz in the base models. It‘s all I ask for

Better?

A lot of room for improvement on Siri. I look at what ChatGPT can do, and have my complaints even with that, but I expect Apple compete in the AI space in the near future.

[–] Midnight_chick@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

A lot better, it needs a better battery life, and a better autocorrect(this won't ever happen, I want to switch to Android because if I have to take a minute to fix the dumb autocorrect one more time I will rage.), the CPU and GPU are still too weak, and Apple is cheap with RAM still to this day. There are hundreds of other reasons like why can an ipad play Divinity Original Sin 2 and other iPad-only games while an iPhone cannot. I can't move to Android because the GPS is trash. Google Maps is a travesty! Until Google actually grows a brain I am stuck with trash Apple.

[–] carissadraws@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Once solid state batteries replace lithium ions in standard electronics, I’m pretty sure we’ll see a skyrocketing battery life
