I certainly hope so. I'd like Apple Intelligence on an iPad mini.
At the very least the latest processing power, you know?
I'm due for a new Apple Watch, right now I am on the Apple Watch 4. It has served me really well. I would really like it if the AirPods Max 2 came out considering I am an headphones whore. To me there is no such thing as too many headphones.
Wait what? The 41mm AW is being discontinued? It's the largest one I am comfortable wearing and my old one is in dire need of an upgrade. I have been waiting for this 10th anniversary edition for nearly a full year now to avoid the lackluster series 9 and now the smallest one will be a 45mm that's too big for my wrist?
I already lost interest in the 16 Pro as my 15 Pro is almost too big for me and now I need to have a phablet sized watch on my wrist or buy a series 9 after all?
Why does everything need to be so big? I just want to track my workouts, my sleep, use Apple Pay.. there is no benefit having a bigger watch with the same features.

I still remember the release/unveil video of the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus: “BIG and BIGGER” with such deforming camera effects… It almost made me puke.
One of the most disgusting ads Apple has made, in my opinion.
This was in 2022, and from here on, it’s clear that Apple thinks the “BIG and BIGGER“ strategy works. And, turns out, makes the engineering much easier. It’s a win win for Apple.
Well, first, it’d be a W-OLED or QD-OLED display. AMOLED is a Samsung mobile phone thing. Yes, I’d like an OLED screen; it’s the only device I don’t have one on. It’ll come at some point, but it needs to be better than all other laptop OLED screens to get there. I assume we’ll get the tandem OLED tech when the time comes.
Touchscreen? No, never. This debate has been done to death—never, ever on a Mac.
Face ID would be nice, but it won’t fit in the thickness of a screen, which is why it’s not already there. Again, this has been covered to death.
I’m not remotely interested in the front-facing camera; I’d be happy if it didn’t have one. But again, you can’t just throw high specs out there—there’s a reason it doesn’t fit in the thinness of the screen.
The only keyboard upgrade I’d like is PBT keycaps, but it’s not possible to make them as thin as the MacBook requires. If you mean metal keycaps, no, that would be hideous—a terrible idea.
The trackpad is fine. I already have my signature on the Mac, and it only takes a second to do it on my phone and store it on the computer for life.
“Surround sound speaker tech” doesn’t exist. I’m sure Apple will stick Dolby Atmos on a MacBook at some point, now that Dolby doesn’t seem to care what they allow the logo to go on. If it can decode Atmos, they allow the logo, regardless of whether it actually works. From a laptop, it wouldn’t; it’d be even worse than pseudo audio from stereo headphones.
I’d never use an eSIM, just as I don’t for my Watch or iPad. There’s no point in the UK since they make you take out separate contracts for each when tethering from my phone works perfectly well.
So, yeah, I’ll have one thing from the list: an OLED screen, but with the correct technology.
