Cash is used rarely enough in large chunks of the economy that it doesn't even offer any payment anonymity between "person X withdrew these serial numbers" and "person/business Y deposited them". Unless we're talking $1-5 bills at restaurants but who cares about piddly amounts like that?

actual improvements in ios I'd like: more battery keep the police out of my poo poo [the nsa is already in all our collective shits so no point worrying about them] less steps to pair & unpair bluetooth I guess make the lock screen/notifications better
