5 things would be great to see in iOS 7

No operating system is perfect, that's obvious. Everyone always have some little mistake or do not have some property that we would like to have. iOS, as we know, is the second most popular mobile operating system in the world, lagging behind Android only. It is expected that in the coming months to be released a major new version of this operating system: iOS 7 . Of course, this new version will not be perfect, but there are some things that would be good for missing:

- A Smarter Siri Siri was released in October 2011, it's been 1 year and a half. The wizard quickly became very popular and at that time had no competition. Today, the Voice Search from Google not only more accurate, but also faster. Even Microsoft is preparing itself as told assistant, so Siri will need to improve.

- iCloud : This is a good service, but there are better on the market. Apple needs to improve and also improve integration with third-party apps. It would be great if we could move apps to the cloud in the form of backups.

- App Store : Apple store is great for all applications that are available, but lacks some things, like a preview mode for example. Would be great to download a paid app for free and that works for a limited time, so we can test it and make sure that is what we seek.

- The lock function and the home screen : if something has hardly changed since it was launched the iPhone, that is the function of lock screen and home screen itself (the Home). Any design change would do no harm.

- Application Management taskbar : iOS interface can be too rigid to some, especially when cruising between the different applications available. A general redesign of this and also of the taskbar would be phenomenal.

Now tell us: What new features, functions or designs you would like to incorporate iOS 7?
