I don't expect Apple to copy Google and Microsoft, but I'd love to see the company . An API for Siri would have been a start, as it could have allowed the virtual assistant to tap into all the knowledge and services that third-party apps provide. Some form of customization for the Notification Center would have been nice, too.

I'll concede that most people are that they don't know what they're missing, but geeks like me want to see more than just improvements for first-party apps--however necessary they might be. I guess there's always next year.
