  1. A shape that’s more comfortable to hold. I don’t care whether it’s rounded like the original iPhone\/3G\/3GS or more square like the iPhone 4\/5\/5s\/SE. But the iPhone 6 and later<\/a> just don’t feel good in hand without a case<\/a>.<\/p><\/li>\n

  2. A more grippy texture. Again, I want to go back to not needing a case.<\/p><\/li>\n

  3. An antenna that’s better at picking up weak signals.<\/p><\/li>\n

  4. iPhone 8 size<\/a> or smaller, at least as an option, without compromising the core specs.<\/p><\/li>\n

  5. LCD screen<\/a>, unless they can fix the weird scrolling glitches<\/a> with OLED ones.<\/p><\/li>\n

  6. Touch ID<\/a> alongside Face ID.<\/p><\/li>\n

  7. Optical zoom for the rear camera.<\/p><\/li>\n

  8. A better front-facing camera.<\/p><\/li>\n

  9. Battery life at least as good<\/a> as the iPhone XR’s.<\/p><\/li>\n

  10. USB-C<\/a>—I think. If they’re going to switch, do it now, and update the AirPods, too.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
