hehe

You won't have facetime/skype on it.. I mean not only the battery life would be a limiting factor, but you wouldn't be able to see the other person so it's like one-way convo.. As for Siri, I fail to see the purpose considering the fact that the drone is like flying at a distance..

You use the phone to control it most of the time, or the controller with a phone. It should be able to listen via the phone, process them, and then relay them over the wireless channels it's on.
So while using a "Siri"-like app doesn't make sense for questions about the weather or movie showtimes, having a simple set of voice commands like "return to home", "follow me", "fly 30 meters out and then up 20 meters" or something more complex would still be useful and a very cool way for DJI to keep the competition looking outmoded.

RAW photos!
DLOG videos!

Absolutely! OcuSync like the Mavic uses would be great!!
RAW photos and DLOG videos would be nice too.

I mean you probably don't need a Spark 2 for that. It's software implementation and relaying commands through voice recognition.

Foldable arms to make it even more compact for traveling
4K video
3 axis gimble
AND.... a 250 g weight to get around many restrictions! (asking a bit much, I know) - or at least a smaller battery to get flight weight down to 250g

... better antennas ....

and an unicorn!

Slow down the up and down adjustment of the gimbal.  Too jerky now.

Sure, but the main point I was making was that a smart voice command system makes sense.
