The Transport Guy: 6 things we hope Apple adds to the next iPhone update

Apple will announce the new version of iOS at its big WWDC keynote on June 13.

So, how can Apple improve the iPhone? Here's our wish list of features we'd love to see in the next update.

(By the way, this list doesn't include features we already expect Apple to announce.)

Hide all those apps we don't want to use.

Do you have a junk folder for all the apps you don't use but can't delete? Of course you do!

This is probably our top request for Apple. Please let us hide the apps we don't use from our home screen. Yes, certain apps like Mail and Safari should never be deleted or they'll screw up a lot of things in iOS, but we should at least be able to remove them from the home screen.



Make non-essential apps optional.

Other Apple apps don't need to be there at all. Instead of preloading apps like Tips and Game Center on the iPhone, let the user decide if they want to download them from the App Store.



Give users the option to set default apps for certain tasks.

There's a better alternative to just about all of Apple's apps from Mail to Calendar. But you're still forced to use Apple's apps as the default for basic functions like that. We'd love it if Apple let us choose third-party apps instead.
