    With iOS 4.3 just released, we have seen the last useful update to iOS 4. Apple has never updated any version of iOS beyond x.3 except for bug fixes, so the next major revision must be iOS 5.

    What do you want or expect in iOS 5?

    More customizable features like the slider bar and battery. And customizing the home screen of how you want it to look and what goes where.

    -Global gestures for music controls (maybe something like swipe with three fingers, etc)
    -Custom palette/colors for springboard...but that would never happen
    -Some kind of addition to the Appstore app which lets you manage/see IAP you've made

    I've been using iPhone since it first came out (2007), and quite frankly, I'd like to see some BIG changes/improvements with iOS 5. Now, I could make a whole list of things I want, but I'm not going to do that. I'll wait and see. Although, I won't be switching to any other phone anyway. Apple's design, software and the way they bring their stuff is just pure win. Can't resist it.

    I dunno, I want battery % on my ipod touch 4th gen without having to JB. That would be nice. Wouldn't mind widgets either, but I doubt that's ever going to happen or anything.

    Don't expect a major UI overhaul. Apple have reached a peak with their iOS users, and they don't want to unfamilarize them.

    There is a reason why Apple did not include a %. There is really nothing I want, because jailbreaking gives it to me

    Battery indicators are hardly ever perfect.
     
  11. An official way to record the screen (without jailbreaking).

    The ipod touch 4 has a shitty battery. Plain and simple. It is too unstable.

    Improved notifications would keep me happy. Anything else is a bonus.

    How about the UDK on older devices?

    Themes. Give us awesome themes in the app store. Let devs make independent themes and sell them for whatever price, then apple can make themes for movies, artists, etc. for 5 bucks. Thing like a customizable slider, different icons for default apps, borders for all other apps, etc.

    Anyone else agree?

    Lol funny how what everyone requested can be gotten through Cydia. Apple will never bring theming to iOS. Improved notifications, probably.

    HThe UDK will never happen on older devices, they lag the RAM, processing power, and OpenGLES 2.0 technology that must be built into the hardware.
