I've gotta disagree here. I specifically remember being annoyed in 2006 when the new MacBooks came out with Bluetooth, FireWire, a webcam, and other features that other laptops at the time didn't have. I posted on some site like this one that I didn't want to pay extra for these features that I didn't need and wasn't going to use.
Make the new watch big enough to have battery life! A screen you can actually read and use too. What about the HomePod mini? Been waiting on an update for that for a long time!
Yeah but the lack of blood O2 kind makes the endurance metrics a bit lacking now. I haven’t updated because of this. Even thought the VO2 isn’t the best it’s still useful.
Totally agree
For me, an iPad Mini 7 could save it ... but I don't think we even have rumors of that
With how they treat most "mini" things, I won't be surprised if they flat out cancel the Mini
Whenever Apple is about to release a new product, the trolls emerge. The iPhone 15 is one of the best products Apple has ever made. I'm waiting for the M4 iMacs to appear. Apple has been great at providing OS improvements for my aging Intel iMac, but the new M4 machines will do a better job more efficiently. I found that to be the case when I traded up from my ancient Laptop Pro to an M2 Air version and I have every expectation the new iMacs will provide similar performance. Tim Cook is managing Apple with a steady hand.
Apple doesn’t put the newest chip into the base iPad anymore. Ever since Apple chose to fragment the iPad lineup, the base iPad gets about a two-year-old chip in it. So it’d be more likely to see A16 in the iPad 11. Probably A18 in iPad Mini 7, though.
Pardon my ignorance but years ago I had a solar powered watch. Wish they could improve this tech enough to work within an Apple watch. Maybe some type of solar/plug in hybrid battery. For that matter it would be nice in an iPhone also. It cost nothing to daydream 😶🌫️
Apple has really never given "guidance" what what is released in a year. This is an iPhone even there won't be any mention of Mac in it at all. New Macs will be at the next even probably mid October.
This list is terrible and Tim is one of the most successful tech CEOs ever.
So the 7th generation iPad mini and 4th generation Apple TV 4K are coming out possibly in the first half of next year? Probably has something to do with the increased availability of the A18 by then.
Probably waiting for increased availability of the A18 to allow for the addition of AI for the iPad mini 7.
Nope, we just are stuck on the Apple Watch Series 9 forever. Along with my iPhone 13 mini.
I don't really understand how apple is making these product decisions. I would easily be updating both of these products every year if they kept making them in form factors I can use but the truth is the old versions will still be usable for years. "Usable form factor" is a killer feature for me and no amount of processor spec bumps is going to override that.
I was really hoping to see the magnetic band changes come to the 10 and Ultra. The Apple Watch has been starving for changes. I reluctantly bought my first Apple Watch as a series 7 because I couldn't wait any longer for a decent upgrade from previous models. I was sure they would come to the 8, but now we're on the 10 and there's still nothing. Whoever is in charge of the Apple Watch should be embarrassed.
No. I recently went from the largest Series 3 to largest Series 9, and it alone has been an adjustment. Meanwhile, my wife, and her girlfriends have the smaller 41mms, and shun any other as being too big on their wrists.
Granted if you want to surfe and Netflix these old chips are more than enough for everything you need. It’s fun to have my iPad pro with m1 but dishing out the big game just murders the battery so unless you have some sort of pro use like video editing or maybe raw photo editing… i don’t know. Save that 1200 on the m4 pro.
Same. I’m a hardcore Apple fan but 2024 Apple is extremely boring. Hope next year will be more eventful for products
Let’s hope so. The iPad mini gets refreshed so infrequently that it absolutely needs to have the latest A18 chip to last until Apple decides to release a new one.
Or they might move it a day. Maybe not iPhones but I’m sure Apple has had product announcements not on Tuesdays before.
Why are common sense improvements on a laptop terrible?
Damn, must be you're happy with a simple 10% increase in speed every year.
Tim is only a successful CEO because Steve made it so. Apple would be near bankruptcy if Tim took over in 1997.
Yeah, it's ugly. I don't like the weird bump on the side with the wheel. That's one of the reasons I won't buy it.
Disagree.
First, how is the front facing camera better on my phone than on my laptop?
How has Face ID not been integrated? Why do I have to reach over to my laptop when using a second screen?
AMOLED on a "Pro" laptop seems like a no brainer.
Touch screen will never happen. It would undermine iPad - but iPad running MacOS optionally would be great.
5G has also seemed like a no brainer. Again, why not make it available for "pro's" and capture extra revenue?
Sure, the others seem optional, but any one of them make sense in a "Pro" machine.
I'll add, how about they fix "Home" to be worth a crap?
I guess Siri is getting an upgrade via ChatGPT but maybe as a secondary service after apple intelligence.
How about something in the home automation space?
Innovation has sucked over there and they have really become an "also ran" copying new features. Why did they even bother to release the Apple Vision? They can't give them away. I wouldn't care if they were taking wild swings, but their core services and platforms mostly suck.
Fix the basics first and get back to "It just works" and then innovate. I have never had such a huge problem with their ecosystem. Stuff is broken ALL THE TIME.
