iPhone 4.0 wishes

While they are sill fresh in my head I thought I’d jot down some things I’d like to see in the iPhone 4.0 OS and my reasoning behind them. I know 4.0 is already out. (currently in beta correct?) But there are still a lot of unknown APIs that might be in there.

API for apps to turn up the brightness.
When your laying in bed staring at the screen, you want it kinda dark. But when you need to find something on your desk when your to lazy to find and turn on the lamp, you open your iPhone (or in my case, iPod touch) and have to turn up the brightness just to use the damn flashlight app.

The ability to remove the default apps.
Come on the average Joe wont ever use the stocks app? What about ‘Voice Memos’? I have a iPod touch, i cant even use it. And what if i find a better notes app, or a better calendar app?

Option to not lock the screen when docked.
Its not like its going to drain the battery? Main thing id use it for is iTunes remote. Just having the album art there is kinda kool. And it makes it easier to control. But having to unlock it to control it, does kinda suck.
