The new phones will feature a new message application that includes audio messages, a new thumb controller that’s easy to use one-handed, and a health app that takes advantage of the phone’s new sensors.
That’s all incredibly impressive and useful, but there are still a lot of things the phone can’t do. Stuff we REALLY need, like…
1. A thing that lets you know in advance if a call or text is good news or bad news.

2. An option in iMessage that would allow you to keep a list of words that can never ever be sent over text, so you can keep it from accidentally autocorrecting to embarrassing words.
Like “dong” or “penis,” for example.
3. Also, the option to set your phone to send “yeah” and “lol” automatically when boring people text you.

4. A visual version of Siri that can identify anything you take a picture of, and can basically be a Shazam for people’s faces.

5. A function in Apple Maps that gives you real-time street harassment traffic updates so you can pick the least irritating route to your destination.

6. A thing that automatically checks Twitter before you tweet to let you know if other people have already made the same joke.
E!
7. A built-in breathalizer, and the option to block you from doing certain things if you’re too drunk.

8. An app that automatically generates the perfect clever comeback to anything.

9. An iPhone that won’t work at all if someone other than yourself tries to use it; it will only respond to your voice and hands.

10. The ability to delete Stocks and other preloaded apps.

12. An app that works like an actual honest-to-goodness functioning mirror.

Grainy cameras can only take you so far!
13. A front-facing camera with instant photoshopping and contouring capabilities.
Fox
14. A “candle” app with a friendlier version of the flashlight that will emit a cozy golden multidirectional glow instead of a horrible blinding white beam.
15. The ability to emit an energy beam that will stun people, like a phaser on Star Trek.
Paramount
16. Or hell, an energy sword like a lightsaber in Star Wars.
Lucasfilm
There’s no way that would be a problem, right?
17. And, while we’re thinking big, how about a teleportation app?

21. And, of course, an iPhone that can reciprocate your love.
