Even with today’s news that this year’s releases will focus on stability over features, there are still some things I want to see, even if they have to wait until 2019.

• Better use (not single narrow column) of iPad lock screen widgets
• Control Center unification across all iPhones and iPads. There are three different ways to get to control center now and my brain is annoyed by this.
• Proper system level dark mode on macOS and iOS with some way to tell if an OLED or LCD, perhaps via a system color to query to use as view back color so we all use the same grey/graphite on LCD.
• iOS app development on iOS. Xcode for iPad but not necessarily Xcode for iPad.
• APFS for fusion drives
• Time Machine for APFS and iCloud Documents
• A MacBook with an LTE radio
• Ability to pair apps from other spaces in iPad multitasking
• flag to send very large jobs to metal and get progress callbacks instead of current implementation that requires manual segmenting (or risk timeouts that vary by device)
• Metal device capabilities in App Store restrictions
• On-device learning for CoreML
• Landscape lock screen and springboard for all device sizes
• Public UIKit or unifying framework for macOS
