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

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

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

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

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

Jailbroken features on iPod/iPhone but not jailbroken Wish 5071

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

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

The fact it comes with NO iPhoneCare. Insurance would help all us cracked screeners. Wish 28

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

we want to be a blutooth in the iphone to send or Receives a data like music or photos like any other phone Wish 5237

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

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

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

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

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.

This is make majority of the problem disappeared. Wish 648

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

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

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

I would like a setting to keep the iPhone in horizontal mode. I ONLY want to use it sideways always in every app. I'm not constantly flipping my computer screen vertically.... why the iPhone? Wish 4329

since iPhone can be limited in space and we have wifi. I would like to stream my music to it like air tunes to a sterio. That way it looks like any other speaker on iTunes would allow so much more flexability Wish 3369

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

I would like to get TV on my iPhone like those much cheaper cell phones ( AKA Mp9's ) do! Wish 3799

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.

I want a larger screen. Wish 6304

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

Add a retractable lens cover for the camera. iPhone pictures are always brown and blurry from lens scum. Wish 6658

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

OLED screen for the next iPhone model. Wish 2839

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

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

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

i wish a solution for my iphone touchpad .A part of it is not working. Wish 5640

Vibration feedback when using keypad and icons. Wish 7094

Add functions customization to all hardware buttons Wish 2377

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).

Low heat emitting solar panel under the screen so need for charging. Wish 5314

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 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

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 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

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

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.

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.

One hears an echo on the side with the iPhone, and caller on the other side hears audio cutting in and out. Wish 3612

Make-up Mirror! I bet no one's asked for this. It's a glass surface right? I just wanna see my cute Mac-Geek face staring back at me... Wish 1147

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

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

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

Be able to go to the different home screens by flicking or tapping the device. Wish 4146

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

Microphone support for ipod touch 1st gen Wish 3741

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

red casing Wish 466

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

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

Better accelarometer on everything Wish 2224

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

Make it less slippery - I had to put a horrid rubber raincoat on it because I'm afraid of dropping the thing Wish 5718

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

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 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

for my 3rd party iPod dock to charge my iPhone while docked like my iPod classic can doesn't sound like a big ask Wish 5090

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

Ability to set Touch Screen sensitivity Wish 2627

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

Ability to turn off the accelerometer for landscape mode. When i'm on bed i can't use safari. Wish 7135

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

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

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

Haptic feedback Wish 4334

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

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

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

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

Please allow me to use all my applications like Slingbox Mobile on 3G. Wish 7176

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

900MHz HSDPA please... Wish 4155

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

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

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

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

Give me my money back! Wish 5976

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

Give us an extra button under the volume controls that can be used for a camera shutter or used in other apps for anything the developer wants to use it for. Wish 7766

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

I wish there was a small icon, like an envelope of some sort, across the top of the status bar which indicates a new SMS/email has arrived! Wish 7930

Improve the battery life Wish 7827
