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

Don't delete a contact I just entered if I hit the home button instead of save. Wish 385

I think it would be much better to put the pages on access to the icons in the form of a cross and not side by side, and we would have just two shifts every page, two up, two down, two to the left and two to the right. Nice, no? Wish 4456

i don't need an unlock slider when i have a passcode! Wish 704

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

I want to be able to control my brightness without going to the settings panel. Ideally I should be able to hold the home button and use the volume keys to turn the brightness up and down. Wish 6169

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

when you tilt your iphone on the home screen, it shows all the categories of apps you have and a search Wish 7022

Double tapping the home button should be able launch any application not just iPod or it's controller. Wish 541

The iPhone should not play songs when double-tapping the home button while the phone is still locked and has a password on. Wish 4552

I want to be able to end a call by pushing the button...not just the screen. It seems intuitive to hit the button to hang up and when you do - the call doesn't end - it stays open and the main screen pops up to block it. Not good. Wish 479

I want an active standby screen, i.e. the main menu or the screensaver should show a list of upcoming appointments and to-dos. Wish 1359

I wish for an iPod touch with a camera and a special shortcut, perhaps three-click-sequence with the home button, to take *stealthy* type pictures. Wish 7236

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

Let me put my app icons wherever I want on the home screen. I don't like that I'm forced into the top-left-to-bottom-right flow. If I have just four icons on one of my app screens, why shouldn't I be able to have them in the four corners of the screen, rather than all four across the top? Keep the grid if you must, but let me put the apps where it makes sense for me. Wish 1939

I would love to have a back button... for example...... I'm lookin in my e-mails and then I hit a link... well the link takes me to the site I want and then I have to close safari and then go back into mail... why not just have a previous, back, last action, etc..... button on there instead of having to close and reopen... yea it's a petty request, but feel this would be nice... Wish 4970

The double-press home-button ipod controls that come up when you're using other apps is a bit on the frugal side. It would be nice to be able to rate songs, scrub through songs etc... no reason why not - there's plenty of room on that screen. Wish 4812

SpringBoard Stacks for grouping apps on the home screen. Wish 5932

Accelerometer on home screen Wish 2238

I wish the Home button could be set to turn Airplane Mode on and off. Sometimes it feels like too many steps to get back to the Home screen, enter Settings, and click on Airplane Mode. Wish 2396

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

Tap/double tap the home button to go back to the last app you were in if you replied to a text message, clicked a link that opened Safari or anything of that nature where and app closes and opens a different app. Wish 3041

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

When in lock mode clicking the home button twice pulls down the ipod controls. However it only allows you to play from the begining. Can a shuffle option be added? Wish 1355

I want a home screen with date, iCal items, tasks, etc. Like Windows Mobile, I know. But it is very usefull! Wish 1335

Apple should jailbreak the Ipod touch 2g! I'm sick of this black background on my home screen! Wish 5411

I want to choose the direction in which I hold my phone. For example, Quicktime forces you to hold the phone with the volume buttons facing down, and the Home button on the right. I want to view video while holding the phone with the volume buttons facing up! Safari is polarly agnostic--Why not every other app? Wish 3396

Customizable Home Button - from the Homescreen, click to open ___ Wish 444

The next iPhone should have a breathing home button when its put to sleep. But you should be able to choose how bright or be able to switch it on or off. Sweet. Wish 911

On update 2.2 u could press the home button from any home page and it takes u too the first home page Well it would a nice if ur already on the main home page and click the home button and it take u too the last page Wish 5082

Instead of pressing the home button a billion times a day make all apps have a "back to home" button Wish 5749

Have the home button customizable so that when in an application, it goes back a page (Safari, goes back a page, iTunes, goes back to the artist/genre/etc). I tend to hit the home button meaning to just go back a page. In this mode, the home button would need to be held down to go back to the home screen. This could even work as an Undo option when typing text (I accidentally delete too much). Wish 5210

Make it much easier to return to the previous app. Eg. an email with a web link takes you into Safari. Fine. To get back to the email you have to click Home then Mail; and sometimes "returning" is more than two clicks away. Wish 1115

Home screens should be cyclic and not linear. If I swipe the fourth home screen, that should take me to the first one; I should not be doing three reverse swipes to get there. Wish 3052

An optional "organize home screen apps by frequency of use" feature. Over time or on command it would shuffle all the most used apps to the first couple of home screens. Wish 5823

Don't forward me to the iPod when not playing a song after a double tap. Instead, show me the iPod bubble like when a song is playing. This way I could start listening to music without having to leave the app I'm in for the moment. Wish 3753

Maybe a Tap To Unlock option? Wish 6010

You should be able to have more than 9 home screens. I don't know about everyone else, but I have a full nine pages. I hate having to take apps off of my phone just because I don't have another home screen. I still have a ton of memory space, so why can't I have more home screens and more apps? Wish 5731

Pouvoir rester connecter sur Paralingo et voir qui nous parle, même en tâche de fond. Wish 4547

Icon on homepage for games / notes / weather / misc, etc. (customizable by user) so as my apps grow, I don't have to have them spread over 9 pages. CATEGORIZE APPS Wish 3914

Allow for setting the double-tapping of the home button to activate the 30-second skip-back feature, when a podcast is playing. Wish 7428

when my iPhone is locked and I get a call, I answer the call, have a chat and then hang up. Next time I unlock the phone it is showing my favourite contacts list and not the home screen! Sometimes I even start dialing people as I've pressed a contact instead of the icon that should be there. What is the point? Wish 4039

Pop-up iPod menu anywhere on the phone without having music being played. Wish 5726

A real home screen in place of the search screen, calendar, missed calls, push emails, texts, background, then scroll to the right for apps as normal. Shouldn't have to power off and on for this. Wish 7590

Multiple "slide to unlock" bars. When the screen is off and you press the home key to be able to slide to unlock, it would be nice if there were a list of 5 or 6 "slide to unlock" bars to choose from. Depending on which one you slide to unlock, it could then go straight to the app defined for that one. Wish 7421

Make it so "Slide & Unlock" when going to the iPod App doesn't go right to the home screen. Wish 4141

Make voice command work through a (bluetooth) headset. Wish 7397

Ability to define a double click of the Home button to launch ANY app installed on the phone, or to toggle ANY preference. You want your most used third party app launched? Done. You want 3G on/off fast? Done. Wish 7419

Disable search when you accidentally (all the time) swipe to the left too many times. I've had 3.0 since it came out and I have yet to use this feature. Not being a retard, I have no need for this. Wish 7648

The iPod Controls that can be brought up by double clicking Home when music/podcasts are playing should have the ability to go back 30 seconds in podcasts or scrub to a particular point. As it is now, the only things you can do in iPod Controls are things you can already do very easily in other ways with the volume buttons or headphone controls... Wish 7420

Buttons! Buttons! Buttons! For starters, the volume controls could easily replace the "home" button, providing 1-touch access to a) iPod + b) phone (iPhone, get it?) while freeing up the big button so that we can finally ask someone to take our picture without being embarrassed. Wish 7815

Double tap the home button to turn wifi on. If you are not near wifi turn 3G on. Double tap the home button to switch to EDGE again. Wish 7875

Let me change my settings so that holding down the home button turns on and connects to wifi. If wifi is not available then have it automatically connect to 3G instead. Wish 7876

Create 1-CLICK ACCESS to specific user defined locations (send email, add cal event) via actions for THE BUTTON [TB]: shake vert + press [TB] go INSTANTLY to (u define); shake horiz + press [TB] to (again, u choose). Breadcrumb stepping in and out of apps is CRAZY. Can be 4/5 steps from 1 app to cal or phone or...anywhere. Give me 5 user-defined actions 2 get INSTANTLY2 what I use all the time. Wish 7987

I wish there was a homescreen for homescreens, so I could go to a homescreen with just a tap. It would be great if we could also customize the title and icon for a homescreen so we could organize apps by category eg. action games, IM apps, misc, etc. Wish 8137

Ability to jump to a specific home screen to prevent having to slide your finger across the screen ten times Wish 8138

power button still works as new. home button very poorly designed. since power(hold) is so tough, a virtual home button as a back up would be great. or have two buttons at the top, one for power one for home , i think it would look better too w/o the home button on the front. Wish 8223

Instead of pressing home button to go to the home screen, I would like to use some kind of gesture (i.e to draw a circle with your finger clockwise or counterclockwise) or just shaking the iPhone. So you preserve the home button from wearing out! Wish 8170
