Good list, vincentj7. Everything in your list is something practical that Apple actually could do and they would have a much better product.
For me, some additional wants/needs are:
1.) Greater storage at a reasonable price -- I'm always running out of space for photos and video and have to use iCloud to offload things. (yes, I know that Apple actually wants to make everyone use iCloud so that they can charge for offline storage). Would the ability to expand storage with an SD card be such a horrible thing? Really, I don't want to use cloud storage.
2.) Better approach to task switching -- Every time I switch from one app to another, the latter behaves as if it were starting all over again; many apps do not remember what you were doing when you switched out of them. Then, when I return, there is this long pause where a whole bunch of I/O is happening, windows are flickering, resizing, reformatting, basically doing lots of crazy useless stuff until they stabilize on some state that generally is different from where they were when i previously used the app. This might be understandable if I haven't used the app for many hours or days, but is absolutely stupid and useless if I just used the app two minutes ago. (I realize that much of this behaviour is faulty application programming, but I suspect that it is the framework within which apps must operate that makes apps prone to this kind of behaviour without a lot of extra programming effort.)
