What are you planning to buy this year?
- Thread starter Appl3FTW
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
iPhone 6S Plus - Yes.
I upgrade my phone every year
iPad Air 3 - I really don't know about this.
I upgraded to the Air 2 from the Air 1 only because the A8X with 2GB of RAM. I don't use the cameras and the Air 1 was already thin & light. If the Air 3 would be QuadCore or something maybe I will consider upgrading again this year. If it's just another minor spec bump and some better cameras I'll skip it.
Apple Watch - Tempted, but no.
I'm gonna wait for the second gen. The OS will be more mature and so on.
iPod - I'm still using a 2008 iPod Nano !
If Apple releases another iPod Nano this year with a new design (hate the current one) I'll upgrade for sure.
Macbook Pro - Nope.
I'm so happy with my Late 2013 15" Macbook Pro with Retina Display.
Apple TV - Yes.
If the rumors are true and Apple will release a brand new Apple TV at WWDC I will buy it. Still using the 3rd gen from 2012. Lol, it sounds so old but it's still current gen.
AirPort Extreme - No.
I have the latest model with ac. It works so well and it's so fast ! I'll wait another couple of years.
So :
iPhone - yes.
iPad - maybe.
Apple Watch - no.
iPod - maybe.
Macbook Pro - no.
Apple TV - yes.
AirPort - no.

in that order 
My man, hahaha. I too will be getting a new Black Man's Wheels in September! My E36 was in an accident in Oct. 2013 & have been diligently saving to buy one outright since.
Back to Apple, tho...leaning more and more towards either a Fitbit Surge or Apple Watch depending on the cycling features. Fitbit just upgraded their offerings, so I'll have to see what the Apple Watch developers come up with there.
My '11 MacBook Pro will be getting a much-needed SSD upgrade soon. Been preparing the system by moving media to an external, backing up that external twice to other externals (yeah, I'm a bit anal about this, got an extensive music library with a lot of converted vinyls and all my traveling pictures I can't bear to lose), and getting an enclosure for the optical drive to drop a hybrid drive in there.
Apple TV 4 will be necessary for my new place for sure since my cable cord is cut indefinitely. Other than that, I think I'm good.
iPhone 6S/plus- nope
Apple watch- defiantly not
iPad mini 4- hell no
iPad pro- ummm.... Nope
Until Apple can show me they care about users (iOS 8) yes it is getting better but very very very slowly! Before they even fix it completely they introduce a new product (watch)
In order of importance:
1. Apple TV if there is a new one...been holding on buying the 3 with the new price drop since my wife took the one I bought last year to the bedroom to stream shows and movies (I basically lost it forever).
2. New iMac 21.5 if it gets the retina display.
3. And new iPad Air 3 if the battery life improves compared to the Air 2... kind of disappointed with my Air 2 battery life...getting barely 10 hours out of it, which is good but disappointing coming from 12 to 13 hours with the iPad 3 that I had before.

A new plus phone is the only thing I'm interested in at this point.
No apple watch and with plex / xbox one. no need for apple tv. Years ago I used them, but have since moved on to better quality formats so unless Apple allows more movie formats in the future. I don't see myself buying an apple tv again.

Depending on how this iPhone 6c thing shakes out I am looking for a new phone this year, but I am one of the crazy people that tried the larger but still likes my 4" screen. If it is a decent (not strangely crippled in battery or storage or ram, etc.) phone then I will probably get it.
About time to update my well loved late 2009 iMac.
Could conceivably upgrade my MBA but we will just wait and see.
I'm good with my iPad air 1 for at least another year.
Apple TV will be an immediate buy so long as the app store turns out to be a reality and is only available on the newest model.
Apple Watch is interesting to me, but as others have said I think I will wait a generation or two for it.

Add Apple TV 4 to the list now.
Might get the iPad mini 4 since I do want Touch ID but I felt Apple's iPad mini 3 update was absurd.

I plan on NOT upgrading this year. I plan to keep my 6 Plus and use that till iPhone 7 Plus comes out. I recently upgraded my 2011 13" MBP to the 2015 13" rMBP (with force touch trackpad).
I would like a 6S plus 128 GB, my iPhone 4 is getting a bit old nowadays.
A mac pro rev 2 with a gigantic screen would be nice too, not sure if I'm capable of running desktop macs anymore though, have been a portable macuser since 1999. Needs vs wants...

2015 GMC Sierra
Not sure on iphone 6s plus, ill probably save my upgrade for the 7.
Apple watch, more than likely and ill opt for the cheapest model.
And a lot of ps4 games

Eh, probably nothing. But I'm keeping an eye out for the new rMBP. Early 2015 wasn't very impressive, but I'm anticipating a redesign either late 2015 or early 2016 with Skylake. I have a MBA right now that I use, but I am willing to put money on a redesigned rMBP when it comes out.
Oculus Rift if it makes it to market this year.
New laptop to replace my 2011 MBP. It's getting a bit old and slow and I've never kept a laptop this long. I'm going to have a hard time finding a replacement since I like the mac build but I'm not willing to give up my 2 internal drive bays.
Maybe a FF DSLR late in the year if I see a good black friday deal.
