Honestly, I don't think they really need to add a whole lot of features at all. I'd rather see them tighten up things under the hood and make apps faster and snappier. I think they should also move the Photos app back to what it was before.

Getting Apple Intelligence and Siri to work is what they should spend all their time focused on. The current state of these two features is a complete embarrassment for a $3 trillion company.

The same feature I’ve been asking for for like the last 5 WWDCs: Universal notifications.

If I clear a notification on one device, clear it on all the others, too.
