Top 10 Most Wanted Features for the iPhone 8

With the release of the Samsung Galaxy S8, there are high expectations for Apple to meet.

What can they bring to the table with the iPhone 8?

1. Optional headphone jack

   To minimize the controversy, Apple should release a version of the iPhone 8 that includes a headphone jack, while still offering a version without one for those who have become accustomed to wireless options.

2. Less bezel

   The S8's "infinity" screen has an 84% screen-to-body ratio, while many phones are just above 70%. The next iPhone should aim for an 80%+ screen-to-body ratio.

3. Fast charging

   In this day and age, a $700+ phone should be able to fully charge within an hour.

4. More storage

   With 4K photos and videos becoming the norm, more storage is necessary. No more 16 GB models, please. If there's no SD card slot, then 64 GB should be the minimum.

5. Brighter display

   The iPhone 7 has 700 nits of brightness, while the Galaxy S8 has 1000 nits. Apple should aim for 1000, or at least 900 nits, so that outdoor daylight use is much more pleasant.

6. Smarter Siri

   Right now, Siri trails behind Amazon's Alexa. To make Siri more usable, it needs a larger database of information and better search capabilities.

7. Larger battery

   It's a portable device, so no matter how many features are added, increased portability is always a plus. A larger battery would support that.

8. Expanded 3D Touch

   3D Touch is a good feature, but it needs to be expanded with more functionality across all commonly used apps.

9. USB Type-C port

   This new type of USB cable is ultra-thin, transfers data at 10GB per second, and charges batteries more quickly.

10. Wireless charging

    If possible, this would be a great addition for convenience. Apple could also capitalize on selling wireless charging pads.

The Contenders

11. Replaceable battery

    I hate that I have to replace my entire phone when the battery wears out after a few years. Why not just allow for a replaceable battery?
