Apple does it best when it comes to creating suspense and generating excitement around any product slated for a launch. And, with iOS 6 too, Apple has quite successfully created the same buzz and hype. The latest iOS is expected to be launched at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference that will kick off on July 11. So the rumor mill is working overtime to predict features that are likely to come in the latest operating system.

Just a few months back, the Cupertino-based tech giant released an updated version of the existing iOS 5, naming it iOS 5.1 with its latest New iPad. The new OS, which took a three-and-a-half month's extensive investigation, however, did not bring revolutionary features with it. Rather, the list of the new features of the latest iOS 5.1 largely consisted of bug fixes and interface tweaks. Only a few weeks back another update to iOS 5.1, iOS 5.1.1 was also released, which again launched as a bug fix and security update.

With the new iOS, expectations of users are flying high. Various blogs and websites are posting their wishlists along with users' expectations for Apple's next operating system. While Apple is still mum about the possible features of the iOS 6, we have collected all the wishes from different sources and complied them all to make a comprehensive list of ten features that are at the top of our wishlist:

Quick Toggles in Notification Center: According to all the users and experts Apple needs to revamp its Notification Center. While most users jailbreak iOS 5 and install SBSettings tweak to launch custom-setting shortcuts on the home screen or on the notification tray, the Cupertino-based tech giant should integrate a quick toggle feature to control brightness, 3G, BT, VPN, GPS, airplane mode, Bluetooth and more so that users won't have to jailbreak their iPhone.

Multitasking: While iPhone screens would be very small and perhaps uncomfortable for multitasking, the feature can indeed be launched on iPads.

While a good number of Apple lovers, in different forums, have suggested possible 'top-and-bottom screen' approach for the new operating system, some said they want two apps running side by side on the iPad.

Better Siri: Siri is still on Beta and all Apple lovers now want a revamped version of the iPhone 4S's intelligent personal assistant app, Siri.

Map: If rumors are to be believed, Apple will do away with Google Maps and launch its own 3D mapping service as the default app in iOS 6.

AirDrop for iOS: Mac OS X 10.7 Lion has a very handy feature called AirDrop, which allows users to transfer files between nearby Macs, running Lion wirelessly. And, file transfer can happen even if the users don't share the same WiFi network. This hassle-free file transferring feature has to come in our wishlist.

Automatic App Updating: Some users have mentioned in different forums that they would love to see a feature of automatic update for apps on the next iPhone and iPad with the new iOS 6.

Informational Springboard: Users want the Springboard to be as informational as the Windows or Android phones that have on their live tiles and widgets, weather to calendar and family album.

Face Recognition: Recent patent applications hint toward a facial recognition feature in its new iOS 6. The latest iDevice will use front-facing camera to capture an image of the user and using the "high information portion" areas like the eyes, nose and mouth of the face, information would be matched with a reference image.

Improved Built-In Weather App: A better built-in weather application in the latest iOS is expected by many.

People Center/ Contacts/ Accounts: After Windows and Android, now Apple should also rework its contact app and let the user sync with Google and Facebook. Additionally, the new feature should also bring in status updates and contact logs from various services for a person in one tab.

Gestures: With a new 4-inch iPhone, Apple should use 3-finger swipe up gesture to access the multitasking bar and more.
