The more I use my iPhone, the more I spot things that bug me that I’d like to see improved:
Calendar
- Don’t fix the all day events area, allow it to scroll as I move up and down in day view. I use all day events a lot and sometimes this means I can’t see my overall calendar when in day view.
- When I decline a meeting, if it is recurring, allow me the option of declining only this occurence or the series. Currently if you decline a recurring event it kills off all of them (current and future)
- Calendar search
- Allow me to view published calendars from others. For example, I have my address book birthdays being pulled into a calendar and I can’t get to these.
- Allow me to add a status to a calendar event like I can in Outlook (e.g. Free, Busy, Out of Office)
- Allow me to set a calendar event as private
Contacts/Address Book
- Ensure search covers all fields. I often add notes (e.g. Italian restaurant) and it would be helpful for search to include all fields.
- Make entry easier. Too many windows I have to hop through. Nuff said.
Home
- Allow me to elevate some setting to the home page. For example I often have to change the brightness of my display, access wifi or VPN and it’s annoying to not be able to get to this faster.
Have any iPhone gripes of your own?
UPDATE:
Some suggestions already via email:
- To sync published calendars you can try BusySync

Improve the battery life, and when it’s done, improve it even more…
would any wishlist be complete without cut and paste? And couldn’t they just have a shortcut for commas, too (sort of the way that you can get a period with doubletap and not have to hop to the punctuation). And wouldn’t it be great if there were some way to keep th ALL CAPS on so that you can do acronyms?
ALL CAPS – just double click the shift key. You might have to change a setting on your phone to enable this (GENERAL SETTINGS > KEYBOARD > ENABLE CAPS LOCK)
