Apple

More focus on Gaming.

Hopefully notification overhaul is in the works.

I heard iphones will eventually be full screen, as in the front camera hidden underneath the phone. The next one to worry about is the new se, which I may get in all honesty, as well as Apples new AR glasses (a lighter product than the new Vision Pro), which will eventually replace iphones entirely.

It’s going to be extension for Apple Vision in some big way.

Also IDK if you have an M series Mac, but my gosh using the iPhone as the web cam on your conference calls is badass. It looks like it’s on a RED camera. Also Desk view feature is incredible.

I would like Apple to introduce their own version of AI. Pixels have that edge to them. I wish I could install emulators too.

I don't think there's much in the physical upgrades outside of better screens or the incremental camera updates. It'll wind up being software based like AI. I don't think they'll do a foldable; that doesn't fit their aesthetic and I think that entire thing doesn't have longevity (just my opinion). I'd like to see them nix Siri for a better assistant that is AI based and can actually function unlike the Siri we have, which is meh at best. Open up their texting stuff so I can text with my non-iPhone using friends and not degrade pictures and video that we send each other. Maybe eventually get rid of the Dynamic Island and be entirely full screen.

When the iPhone and the Vision Pro become one device

I'm imaging a duo camera lens setup to take 3D videos to be watched on the Vision Pro

Has to be a folding screen of some type eventually

They'd have to do something big for iphone 20

T9 dial and universal back gesture?

They for sure aren’t coming from the hardware space.

My iPhone 14 is fine for use as a phone/text device and I will use it until it fails. A desired improvement would be in email and text, being able to easily and permanently mark senders as spam and never see them again. Additionally, block automatically anybody using the abbreviated address and not a full phone number.

Better image processing. Apple tends to have better cameras than Google or Samsung but the image processing and AI on Android is next level.

Ai integration. Like full on

Whatever it is we think you’re gunna love it.

Better hardware.

Apple has insane levels of software optimisations. To the point where even though the sensors are worse it outputs as good photos as Samsung and even though the battery is worse it lasts as long.

The problem is that Apple only makes their products as good as the competitors because they have no reason to push further and actually make an insane value device like they did with the M1 MacBook.

So once Samsung catches up on software Apple gives you better hardware.

Stacked battries

I honestly want to see more software features from the Android world. I want the notifications system revamped, I want to be able to choose which cloud account a new contact guess to, I want to be able to set a Bluetooth device not to auto connect just like with WiFi. And yes I’ve submitted feature requests. I’m perfectly fine now that USB c is here. Although battery life can always be improved.

Maybe no camera bump. Also possibly reacting to gestures without touching the screen. Like you get a notification while your phone is sitting on a table and you can somehow gesture to read it or dismiss it.
