    Make it a little wider, and change iOS to make it a little customizable. There isn't much else I can think of or add. The iPhone 5 is a great device.

    1.Make the screen a bit bigger (i like the 4.65" screen of the Galaxy Nexus)
    2.Change the UI of iOS a bit (i think integrating intelliscreenx into iOS would be great, a good way to get widgets without copying other operating systems)

    The same thing I have said since the 3GS came out.
    Add a damn notification light.

    But furthermore, change the design of the phone and the OS.
    The iPhone 5 is nothing special, granted it is in terms of function and how its constructed (its really rather special when you look at the manufacturing process) but in comparison to the previous iPhone 4 design, its not that much more advanced in terms of aesthetics. It really is a shame because with iOS being kept pretty much the same since day one its never really excelled in the aesthetic department when it battles against itself, agaisnt other manufacturers I believe the design of both UI systems and products cannot touch Apples however they have changed and adapted in that time.

    sure you could argue that Apples is perfect and it only needs refining so why bother? Its more the fact that Apple are cornering themselves by sticking to the same format each and every revision making it harder to innovate outside of there current design ecosystem/aesthetics. Dont get me wrong, I love the design - I think Apples minimalist designs are some of the best on the planet but I also like seeing that gift stretched beyond what it has achieved with the design on the iPhone 5.

    There is a setting that lets you enable the flash as a notification light.

    ok, the iphone need a newer design, something more fluid. Right now its buttons and its profile are so full of straight lines. Something it reminds me from a old TV, or whatever. But, seriously, my last complaint would be about design. I think that the current designt is totally edible! The main problem is the iOS6.

    The iOS6 is totally plain and overpast. It really needs something smart, like widgets or live tiles. Something to bring life to it, and most important become a more open system. i CANT bluetooth almost anything! And the share system?! Twitter and Facebook only? It needs something like android. And PLEASE! I NEED a file system/browser (And i'm not speaking about iFile u.u).

    Am I the only person that DOESN'T want a big screen iPhone? 4" is fine, I guess...
