Well since Johny Ive is in the iOS buisness now I think that iOS will get a MAJOR upgrade. What do you hope to see added?

Wirelessly control your Mac with your iDevice
Oh, and record your screen in HD with sound- would be good from both a casual and developer (trailer gameplay would be so much better/easier) standpoint

Hi @Utveckla_Games, interesting question; definitely the graphics side of things needs looking at, and according to this article this'll be addressed sooner or later:

OK, @Chakku, I can't argue with that! Everyone's different.... :-)

Notes IS Skeuomorphic
iBooks IS Skeuomorphic
Game Center is NOT Skeuomorphic
Find my Friends is NOT Skeuomorphic
Whats my reasoning? Notes is trying to look like a notebook, iBooks is trying to look like a bookshelf. Game Center and Find my Friends? No. They represent nothing, they simply have a texture added to it. It's not like we used to have a leather bound page that showed where our friends are, and now its made in technology. No. It's simply a pattern to overlay on a new concept. Same thing with Game Center.
My opinion is keep the true Skeuomorphism, and ditch the pointless textures. I want a little visualization when writing notes or reading books. I don't need to see fake leather when finding a friend.
Long winded rant aside, I'm hoping for a lot of expansion on the iPad side. We have seen some incredible jailbreaks that show the power the iPad has, (Running 2 apps side by side for example). The closer iOS and Mac OS X merge, the closer we come to being able to use our iPads as our sole device. I would also like to see some live-ish icons. (yes, I will give a slight nod to Win8)
After ios6, Ios seems to bore me. I currently have a nexus with the latest android and it is amazing. Yup No lag (Not an April Fools')
