None because I won't be buying it. I have never owned an iPhone (I did have an iPod Touch in the past) and decided at this point that I probably won't even, since all my apps and data is connected with Google/Android and it would be a pain in the ass to change it all over. Plus I just like Android better than iOS.

I think more storage at a cheaper price would be nice. It is disappointing that the cheapest $899 iPhone 6S model still uses 16GB of Storage instead of 64GB or more storage.

If the iPhone 7 has a MicroSD memory slot which allow users to also install their apps and games to it, I think Apple will sell more phones. A lot of people still prefer storing their personal files, apps, games, and data on a MicroSD card because they are more affordable, and have 128GB or more storage for a lower price than buying a 128GB iPhone which cost a lot of money.
Expandable storage would be nice, but unlikely considering Apple's push for iCloud storage.
Other than that, I don't have much else I'd want in an iPhone. I doubt I'd even upgrade to the next "number," I'd wait until the "7s" or whatever it would be by then.

I think the real reason for iPhone not having a MicroSD slot is because Apple will sell more models of the iPhone 6S with 128GB of storage for $1159 and the 64GB version of iPhone for $1029.
If a MicroSD memory card slot is on the iPhone, more people will buy the cheaper 16GB version of the iPhone for $899, and may not upgrade their iPhone as often if they still have a lot of free storage available on their older iPhone because they installed a 128GB MicroSD card on their iPhone.
I'm not sure if many regular iPhone users will pay money for online storage like iCloud because there are so many free online storage services services like Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, and OneDrive which offer a few GBs of free storage which is good enough for many users. Online storage services are also not fast enough for using to quickly open large HD videos and files because of the low bandwidth limits, and low speed available on most mobile data plan and wifi from your router.
Plus, there are now Flash memory drives with built-in Lightning port which let iPhone quickly open files stored on their Flash drives with a built-in lightning plug when plug into the iPhone. Using a flash drive on an iPhone is a lot faster than downloading and viewing files stored online with online storage services like iCloud.
The thing that all the listed options lack is OS-level integration. iCloud, wether you want it or not, is on every iOS and OS X system, and integrates better than those options due to iCloud being an Apple service. When you market to a group of people who want things to "just work," paying $.99/mo to get 50GB, $2.99/mo for 250GB, or $9.99/mo for 1TB that just works is pretty nice.
Also, considering Apple's want to have the whole experience closed, I still don't see an official expandable storage option just yet.
Harder case. The case that doesn't break from inches from the ground. The first person to buy the Iphone 6 walked out and taken the box away with the media taking photos and then he dropped it by mistake and it got Brocken.
So better support casing would be nice

People who just want a simple online storage service would probably pick iCloud because they don't want to spend some time trying out other free and paid alternative online storage apps.
But, a lot of users probably now use Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and Box.net because they offer 5GB or more free storage, and it works for multiple operating systems like Windows, Android, iOS, and sometimes Windows Phone, Chrome OS and Linux.
Installing an Online Storage App, and running the setup wizard to backup files and folders is not hard for regular users.
Online Storage is also still too slow for downloading, and opening big files, and running big apps like games in real-time like local storage, so most people will mainly use online storage services for backing up files where free apps like Dropbox would be good enough.
I agree, I only use cloud storage for backing things up, like photos. I have an iPhone and I use Dropbox for that because it works seamlessly across all my devices. It would be nice to have removable storage on the iPhone but if it hasn't happened by now, it never will.
