Please fix the iPhone

MULTITASKING: Let at least one application run in background by holding down the home button for 5 seconds (10 seconds for killing the application). Flashing icon in statusbar will remind user about reduced battery lifetime. Wish 1967

My iPhone sits on my desk. I get up from my desk a lot. When I get back, I continue working. Only at the end of the day, I pickup my iPhone and put it in my pocket, and I see 12 missed calls and 7 new sms messages. BlackBerry has a RGB LED that can be set to BLINK (different colours) when something happens. Like receive email from a certain email address, or a gtalk IM from a certain someone. Wish 2077

I want a button on the homescreen that allows me to quickly shut off Bluetooth, Wireless, or 3g. All of these are battery wasters, on a short life battery, and getting to each setting is a pain. And by the way... a larger capacity batter wouldn't hurt! Wish 2047

Put a better camera (5MP) and a xenon Flash in the iPhone Wish 422

Zoom in and out when taking pictures Wish 4192

I wish there was a way to prevent the accelerometer from always turning whatever application sideways. However, I would like to be able to set preferences to make all keyboards appear in landscape mode or portrait mode. Wish 774

I would like the battery to last longer than 5 hrs while on 3g with very little use. Wish 440

Frontal Camera for video Chat Wish 1631

It needs a removable battery, especially since the battery is drained so quickly. It'd be nice to just pop in a spare battery when I can't use a charger. Wish 590

ALL sounds should honor the state of the 'vibrate' switch. If I set my iPhone to 'vibrate' I want it to be quiet...yet, snoozed alarms still sound and if I accidentally click on a game like Asphalt4, I get the LOUD opening video. If this is supposed to be a business phone, it needs to place nice in the business world and be quiet when told to. A 'silent' mode would be fantastic too! Wish 3248

I would like an unlock function similar to the new android phone unlock. that way it's protected all the time and you're still just dong a swipe to unlock. great idea Wish 3039

Apple sould REALLY revamp iPhone's Bluetooth support. There are many flaws, but the ONE that makes me want to slam it against the wall is the INABILITY TO HAVE A PROPER CONVERSATION WHEN OVER A HEADSET OR CAR KIT due to awful sound quality on both ends. Wish 6330

So here's the situation. You take the bus home from school or work, and you are listening to your iPhone/iPod touch. When you arrive home, you are in the middle of a song. What would be great would be if you could press a button to switch the song to the Remote app. I have my iTunes streaming all over the house, so it would be very nice to have a one-button solution. Wish 3290

Why not iPhone offer certain amount of space on the phone to run application for testing purposes and the once which Apple store does not accept rather than Jailbrake or using other software to break the iPhone? The more users can do with the phone the higher the community grows. Wish 657

automatic settings. custom how the iphone is connected to the world without digging through preferences everytime. Example, power saver: turn off wireless and 3G, dimming settings, etc. Wish 2328

When the next generation arrives we all wish we can get the new one with a discount, customized with our own message engraved and including the apps we have already bought. And of course all the rest of the most wanted wishes included !!!! Come on Steve !!! Get everybody to work !!! If you make us happy, we promise we will buy your phones !!! Wish 2907

Jailbroken features on iPod/iPhone but not jailbroken Wish 5071

Brick-like look when locked. No indication whether it's locked or powered off after battery discharge. A date, time, battery status, missed calls and newly received SMS/mail number must be displayed. Run display at lowest refresh rate without backlight, so it'll consume almost zero power. Wish 3213

Build in KLEER wireless technology so that music can be streamed in Lossless format for 10hours+ without wires! Build it in like you did the NIKE+ chip in the iTouch Wish 4173

iPhone has same problems as lot of their competitors. Why not Apple join the Symbian, Android and Palm community and let developers work across to create multiple cross platform applications. After all all of these guys are friends and they do communicate behind doors. Enough of nonsense about owing and creating application for your own preparatory use. Wish 655

I wish the iPhone 3G had better build quality - especially for the price! Wish 542

Make the phone capable and make a cable that will allow anything that is on the iphone screen to projected. This would be great for training Wish 3019

Please make the iPhone more reactive. I have a lot of data on it, and to go from Calendar to Notes it takes too too much times Wish 2186

Let users have the option to completely disably the mute button/switch on the side of the iPhone. Do you know how many important texts and calls I miss just because this switch gets hit/enabled by accident? Wish 1997

Please fix the "lock up" problem that happens occasionally. My iphone simply locks up, and then I have to wait about 5 minutes for it to reset and reboot. Wish 2413

vorremmo inviare file con il bluetooth da un cellulare ed un altro!!! We wish to send files with the Bluetooth from a mobile phone, and another!!! 我们希望发送文件的蓝牙从一个手机,和另一个! ! ! Am dori sa trimita dosarele cu bluetooth dintr-un telefon mobil, si un alt!!! Wish 2763

Make it smaller in width and height, but keep the same resolution Wish 428

32GB model... heck, go ahead and make it 64GB Wish 2844

Have a centralised file system that all apps can save too and open from. And also allow wireless sync connection via Mac. Wish 6639

Please add remote control capability ( z wave, infrared, zigbee, enocean) Wish 3920

Near Field Communication (NFC) to enable the iPhone to be used for payments and RFID tickets, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_Field_Communication Wish 5151

Instead of having the home screens being 9 pages one after the other, why not replicate the functionality of Spaces on OS 10.5 ? We could have a square of 3 by 3 pages, with the home screen in the center... This would make it MUCH faster to go from one page to the other : swipe up/down, left/right and diagonally ;) Wish 4840

Long Term Evolution (LTE) for a faster Internet! Wish 2136

Get a better battery, an LED screen that uses less energy, and 32GB of Storage. Wish 752

Make the iphone work with Nike+: Either use for that the builtin bluetooth chipset - compatible it works with the iPod touch (2. Generation) or make iphone combatible with the receiver from the Nike + iPod Sport Kit. Wish 2703

TV out. We want tv out for all the apps not just the video and photos. Like in the Keynotes I want play supermonkey ball in a big screen. It would be great. Wish 1503

Wi-Max support - to increase speed up to 11 mbit/s Wish 5711

I wish there was an indicator light on the iPhone. So much time is wasted having to turn it on to check for something new when a little light (perhaps like the sleep light on the MacBook) could just be on. Wish 856

A word processor for my Iphone like microsoft word or something. I would like to be able to use my Iphone to write essays or papers for school. Wish 5056

And so, after include the file manager of exclusive Apple's property (not of the third-part applications property), what do you think about an unlock at the bluetooth chip, which can do at a very large of potenzial customers, the FREEDOM to buy this wonderful object and at the developer the FREEDOM to develop billion applications? Wish 4392

The need for better support for human error. Come on everyone drops their phone at some point...so why can apple create such a smart phone, but no one is smart enough to repair them!!!! No insurance, no support! I wish they were more user friendly for accidents!!! Wish 6501

The inability to cause 'real' super-powers with the ladies. Wish 3967

A user should be able to shake the phone to silence an incoming call and send it to voicemail Wish 3704

Mac has so many capabilities that all of the users here Complained about. Why not make more portability available to phone same as the Operating System in the past 5 years. Majority of the complains here are relating to the functionality which MAC/Apple has solved in past 5 years. Make the developers work from OS team and Phone team. This is make majority of the problem disappeared. Wish 648

I want the iPhone to allow automatic sleep disable on dock. Wish 736

Please make an external "return button", so that I could always make one step back in any application, rather then start all from the very begining. The HTC magic has it... Wish 7150

Include two exterior buttons on the oposite side of the volume buttons for forward and back controls for the Ipod, while still locked. Wish 3062

Ability to connect to the internet by the connect Mac or PC over USB cable. This way we don't have to use 3G or wireless. Wish 6209

Card slot, either SDHC (preferred), or at least microSDHC. Wish 1800

Increase the number of APPS that I can store on the phone! I love the plethora of apps available and I want to keep them all on the phone at the same time. I'm now at the stage of having to selectively choosing what I want to keep on the phone because I have far more apps than the phone can store. Wish 2793

I want a larger screen. Wish 6304

Apple, stop allowing 3rd party developers to create and SELL applications on iTunes that fix the iPhone's shortcomings, like the poor camera, poor memory management, lack of video support. These should be free from apple and properly UAT'd, not just thrown onto the app store like they are. Wish 6341

Sometimes my phone doesn't send or receive text messages, even though it says it was sent, or my friends told me it was delivered. This is a bug that needs to be fixed! Wish 7651

Vibration feedback when using keypad and icons. Wish 7094

Disk mode, like iPods used to have. There should be an option to enable/disable so that the iPhone will act like a USB disk when plugged into any computer, to store whatever kind of data you want on it. Wish 964

The iPhone should have the ability to perform oral sex! Wish 7249

Why must the internal speaker be turned off every time an extension is plugged into the bottom port? The sound that goes out through there is fixed volume so it doesn't matter if the regular system of turning off the internal speaker when headphones are plugged is used Wish 6545

The "autonomy", if I may call this way the ridiculous time I can use it in a working day !!! Wish 2965

Voice dial with headphones. ie. push and hold and say name, then let go and it confirms/dials Wish 6590

unlock 2nd gen iPod touchs bluetooth chip so I can listen to music and use voice apps without wires! Wish 4590

Please fix Bluetooth so it will work with OEM hands-free car equipment. I'm not the only one who has had problems as the forums are full of people complaining about bad sound quality, refusal to pair, network busy signals, etc. It's unconscionable that Apple doesn't support hands-free. Every other phone has successfully paired with my car. With my iPhone, I have to try to dial while I'm driving. Wish 4603

get the apple symbol back. Wish 4348

Please turn the iphone into a nirvana device. We need to use the browser with an external monitor/keyboard/mouse. See: http://www.nirvanaphone.com Wish 5559

Add an empty SIM-card like slot for all the different mobile digital TV systems around the world. Then, a user can go to a localized Apple Store and buy a respective digital TV SIM card that acts as a built-in tuner for the iPhone without the clunkiness of attaching an external tuner via the cradle cable. Europe: DVB-H card, Japan 1seg card, North America ATSC-M/H card. Wish 7538

When in the cradle, don't go into lock mode, unless set to do so. You can set it so it locks in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 minutes or not at all. Apple should add the option to stay on while in the cradle. Wish 3313

Unlock the built-in disk storage & allow people to upload files directly from a specific folder on the iPhone to any website. Example if U go to RapidShare and try to upload anything, the upload button is not clickable. I know there are some solutions on AppStore but they all give you remote storage, or ability to attach files in emails but not direct upload ones. Wish 6275

RADIO FM!!!!!! Wish 2100

The iPhone 3G still does not work properly work in cars with Bluetooth pairing, such as the Lexus ES350 (although it seems to be on most model cars with built-in handsfree, as documented on the Apple support message board). One hears an echo on the side with the iPhone, and caller on the other side hears audio cutting in and out. Wish 3612

I'd love to see Apple create a 'netbook' shell where the iPhone would slip in the space where the current glass trackpad is, and the iPhone would power the entire device (including Internet access). This is not an original idea as OLO computer has proven http://olo-computer.com/ , however I'd like to see an Apple version. Wish 621

Let the user choose if charge battery when the iPhone is connected to usb, with a message on the screen: "Charge battery?" Yes/No. If we often connect the iPhone to usb (iTunes, car audio, etc.) it never completes charge/discharge cycle thus the battery will deteriorate soon. Wish 6371

It takes a lot of time to start the camera. Wish 6309

Make dialing a Phone number Double Clickable from contacts or recents to prevent the accidental dialing of a contact (happens to 20% of my made calls - maybe because I'm left handed and and scroll from the left side of the screen) Wish 2751

I want to use my iPhone like an USB-Stick, you too? Wish 6614

I need a Micro SDHC card slot and a standard Micro USB Port. Wish 1470

A next design iteration should include a tether loop so a wrist tether (like a Wii Nunchuck) can be added if need so you can play some of those App Store games without the fear of throwing your iPhone or iPod Touch across the room into the Desk/Coffee Table/etc and possibly permanently damaging your precious electronic device. Wish 2753

Better Signal. Since Apple lowered the price there are way too many users. I get dropped called all day every day. I hardly ever use it as a cell phone anymore. I just send text and check email mostly. Phone service is horrible. Wish 3829

One more dropped call or crappy quality call and I'm going to "Peter Pan" it right off my two-story deck. Wish 3411

Add a battery Save mode which automatically turns 3G off, Wi-Fi Off, BlueTooth Off. The closest thing now is airplane mode but that turns off everything including the ability to get calls. The iPhone should have this battery save mode for people trying to inch out as long as possible on standby waiting to make or receive calls. Wish 4653

I would like to have MacOSX Full on my hand. Why not 64GB iPhone/iPod Touch with MacOSX and 2Gb of RAM?? Wouldn't it be great? Wish 1483

Move the camera to the front and have video calling since it is of poor quality for taking picture. If you want to take picture 14MP cameras are chear than the ipod and can fit easly in your pocket, around your neck, in your purse ect.!!!!!!! Wish 6792

I would like Apple to start taking note of this site and suggestion emails we seemingly waste our time creating via their support site. Wish 6555

I wish they would add a SD or MicroSD card slot to the iPhone for extra storage and the ability to copy data to-from the computer when I don't have a synch cable or software installed. Literally every smart phone on the planet seems to support this feature and it's real handy for printing photos out at a kiosk or smart photo printers. Wish 6990

Way bigger storage. If the ipod classic can be 120gb, the iphone should be the same!! 120gb at least please!!!!!!! If not I'll settle for 64 or 80gb Wish 7534

NETWORK CONNECTIVITY...as well are all aware the firmware 2.1 will make the iPhone use the 2G network to make calls...however...my iPhone still loses connection to the network. Please Mr Jobs..can your next firmware improve battery life and stabilise 2G & 3G network connectivity. Wish 3696

Dampen iPhone Interference with Speakers, phones and computers. I noticed heavy interference of iPhone with phones etc and I am forced to change it to Airoplane mode during my con calls. If the iPhone is near the phone unused also the landlines etc get interference and high noise will come. Could you please fix this? Wish 2330

Please for version 3 of the iPhone place the antenna on the top instead of the bottom. I grab my iPhone from the top and get full 3g, then grab it from the bottom and it goes to Edge. How the hell are we supposed to grab an iPhone if not from the bottom?!? Wish 2130

I was happy when the new iPhone 3Gs announced . But ...!!!! I expected much powerful CAMERA just 3.2 MG and if look around in the current market you will find out that the average and ordinary phone have 5MG . It is realy disappointing . I have the most powerfully phone but has 2MG camera. I hope they put that thing in account in later version of the iPhone . Wish 7317

All the other handheld makers recently decided to standardize on mini-USB for syncing and charging. Apple was not a part of this standardization, but the next iPhone should be compatible with this standard as well! Wish 6727

I want to be able to use my Iphone as an external hard disk. Wish 1481

I like to see sound output on the (bottom) iPhone port also for phone calls! Wish 2677

An option under "settings" to enable/disable the proximity sensor. This way you can put the iPhone in your pocket without putting the device in lock mode. Now, when you pull the iPhone out of your pocket, you have instant access. Wish 7667

Apple Radio Remote. I used to ear fm radio (not streaming) with 1.1.3 firmware. Why doesn't work anymore with new firmwares? Wish 2571

Stuck and dead pixels. Wish 1047

Make the swipe gesture a bit shorter to make it easier to unlock with one hand Wish 2379

new iPhone-Pro: it can be expansiv, but it should be open as my mac, I want a small mac with touchscreen and phone-capabilities! - it is that easy! Wish 1885

Why isn't this a Tricorder already (like on Star Trek)? Imagine the possibilities: • Local temperature, humidity, altitude, sensors • Geiger counter • Atmospheric analyzer • Spectrum analyzer • Real-time translator • etc Wish 1789

Push e-mail for all e-mail services. At least a 3 mp camera. Better screen clarity than the Blackberry Bold. Free FM radio and no need to sink with computers. The iphone should be the computer of the future. I wish it were offered by Verizon with cheaper monthly plans. Wish 6689

id like an iphone that lets you browse the internet on your HDTV LCD TV via the usb component hookup on the iphone. You can view movies thru this connection but why not the internet???? Wish 3486

It needs a robotic armature. Just like a similarly cute, dome-headed, cylindrical yet endearing hero robot unit of 1970's pop-culture fame. Do I need to go on? Wish 2076

I want stereo speakers, you too? Wish 7330

Since they can be made as small as a thumbnail, why does the iphone not have an inbuilt radio tuner? Every other phone I have ever had (except my first phone) had an inbuilt tuner. It is a massive waste of my monthly bandwidth using the internet radio apps. Wish 2704

A simple FM Tuner! Just about all mobiles have one these days why doesn't the iPhone? Wish 3065

For all the things that iPhone doesn't have, it could be cheaper! Wish 3725

3G hardware switch. 3G is useless for normal use. Calls get dropped and it sucks battery life. It is only useful for browsing and net related tasks. Switching 3G on and off is deep in the preferences. It would be great to have a hardware switch. It would be like "turbo mode"! Wish 1835

An iphone application or feature or built-in hardware that can wirelessly connect to the default car stereo thru fm band Wish 495

Show more battery info. Make a management tool for seeing time left (including non-talk time) and battery saving operations. Wish 7074

Please add the ability to change the contrast and color saturation on the iPhone. Dark scenes in movies are nearly unwatchable because the colors are so "hot". This should be a simple function to add. Wish 7713

Make the screen more durable! Cracks too easily from small drops. Wish 3927

How about an SDK for Windows? I can't believe that my only option is jailbreaking the phone. I'm certainly not going to buy a whole new computer just to write apps for the phone. Wish 4636

A real keyboard. And real call buttons. In a future-world maybe each pixel could be a retractable pin/diode that dynamically shapes a tactile UI. Think, that desk toy where you put your hand on the back and the metal pins mold your palm on the front... That would be cool. Wish 2172

Rebadge the HDC Touch as an iPhone - after all is it a perfect phone. Wish 4449

Void with my 3G conection Wish 699

Please bring the iPhone to CDMA carriers! Wish 2098

External device to permit use of smart cards for authenication and encryption of device, email, and sensitive files. Wish 3737

Hi Jonny Ive; for the next gen, why not use CARBON-fibre instead of plastic. The Glass-Front is top-notch, now it's time to pay attention to the back. Wish 5787

Wireless charging built-in. Similar to how the Palm Pre will work with its touchstone charging station. Soon your new Ikea desk, and the cup holders in your Toyota will contain this technology. This will be 0ne of the next big things in tech and any and all iGadgets need to get on this bandwagon asap! Wish 6864

I wish there was some kind of indicator light that flashes when new data is received so that I can tell without having to "wake up" the phone or switch applications. Wish 6034

Fm with fm modulator integrated in to ipod app Wish 8012

Apple to stop being cry babies and open the iPhone up so apps like Flash can be installed. I thought Microsoft was always in trouble for this sort of anti-competitive trading... Why isn't Apple? I want to be able to browse my directories a la Windows Explorer and upload/download via the same. This is a basic computing function. Time to grow up Apple!! Wish 7373

I want voice dilling & hands free calling access on an upgrade! As included on the 3G s! I also want video & radio application as per other handsets! I used to own a Nokia N70 that had all this! It's dissapointing! Especially since there is no accessories available & bluetooth calls the last contact phoned only!!! Wish 8017

All my friends have it, and they all look the same... and sound the same... I FEEL LIKE A CLONE!!!!!!!!! :( I should have got a BlackBerry!!!! Wish 7964
