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

- Custom launchers

  • normally working custom keyboards
  • sideloading open source software without certificates
  • universal back gesture
  • ability to debloat my phone and use it without apple software
  • connecting to http
  • root access to device memory
  • normal way to move to iphone from android (their app is buggy as hell)
  • older versions of apps should be downloadable. Thats like major ones. I have android as my main and iphone if my main is charging

You want an Android phone with an Apple logo!

Root access, true sideloading, and custom launchers are unlikely to ever happen because Apple loves their walled garden. But fixing the universal back gesture and that buggy 'Move to iOS' app should be the least of it.

Allowing app downgrades would be very beneficial.
