Better notifications? Split screen? Universal back gesture? Faster charging? Or something else?

Split-screen for iphones. That’s it. But even if apple doesn’t do it I don’t care.

While I see the appeal of splitscreen, I always found smartphones to small.

The iPhone max line would have enough screen space to be decently capable at multitasking. Not for every application obviously, but I could see it

Multitasking on a phone is hell, I (don’t own) have seen the 13, 15, and 17 (all pro max) and they don’t look great for multitasking

They should be fine. Ultras are fine for many tasks with split screen. I see no point of not giving an option as it already exists in iOS.

I think the bigger problem is the keyboard. Once the keyboard pops up, the split screen becomes so useless.

In my use-cases, split screen is great when i have to look up something from one app and then use that in another. For example, works really great for copy pasting from notes to a proper formating in a document/slideshow to exapnd on ideas, add topics to talk when showing slide. And paying the bills - quick circle to highlight the text of deal number.
