In addition to replaceable battery, which is great, I'd do the following:

- Remove all excessive animations from the UI. Please stop wasting my battery and my brain cycles on nothing. iPhone 1 to 4 had sufficient level of animation. iOS 16 level of animation is nauseating.

- Make the phone to fit into a human hand. No need for a shovel.

- Non-slippery material. (I'm currently on X and it's like holding a half-used bar of soap in the shower.)

- Remove excessive gestures, corner sliders, pop-ups, etc. The UI is a mess. Simplify everything. Less is better.

- Redo all the UI elements. This mess of excessively saturated flat shapes is dull. Initiate return to skeuomorphism, but at a slightly different angle. Especially get rid of oversaturation everywhere.

- Increase contrast of UI elements.

- More detailed report on processes consuming system resources, something like a Task Monitor.
