Anyone else come here for reactions to Apple's decisions and not for the so-called "rumors"? The rumors aspect of this site seems much more heavily saturated with speculation in recent years.
It's even worse than that. Look at the post above yours:

"Studio Display 2 – I'll believe it when I see"

What is that supposed to be? It is completely worthless unless you accept the comments as a "Dear Abby" kind of weird social outlet. These threads are becoming largely useless and uninformative. I keep on hoping for a change, but they get worse and worse. I think I'm done with the threads.
 
I am an AppleTV junkie. I always welcome new ATV hardware. We've used the iPhone a couple of times on the ATV in our living room to make FaceTime calls. It worked well. I'd welcome an ATV with a camera.

I’ve never owned an AppleTV but I’m looking to upgrade a HomePod mini bought for its Thread and Home hub capabilities.

I’m expecting the Thread radio to be standard in both the new ATV4K and HomePod mini but Ethernet (which I want) and higher storage may still cost extra.
 
If anything, the iPad needs less cameras. Ditch the back cameras and the tumor housing them, so I can use it with a pencil the way I want, without carrying a bulky case with it.
 
I feel it would make more sense to release new Macs/ iPads in September (back to school) and the iPhone/ watch event in Oct/ Nov for Christmas sales.
 

If I need to buy new HomePod minis just to get a version Siri that isn't terrible, I am going to be quite annoyed. I own 5 in my house and I love them, but Siri has been awful. I keep telling my wife not to worry, it'll get better.

Doesn't Siri currently run in the cloud?

They will probably do the "week of new products" like last year & I liked the way they pulled it off.

Not being a Mac guy that passed me by but I just looked up what they did last year and I agree. It looked as if it was effective & well executed.

If Apple sticks to similar timing this year then we’re looking at the very end of October, maybe the week starting Monday 27th October. I hope my guess is wrong and that product releases start earlier than that because I’m dying to buy my first ever Apple TV and my first ever HomePod (the new Mini).

Should I tell you that I've been waiting for 3 years? You know what freedom is, get away - I'll write what I want. Should I tell you that I demand the release of Polish Siri?!!! I wrote, I even did... And nothing, I'm still waiting, the whole of Poland walks and iPhones, or would like to! And what the ****. Basic functionalities do not work. And I'm already damned, what to comment on here. And believe me, I commented, I created, they call me, what to buy, how to do, they don't even think to call Apple. They should pay me for it, but they don't pay and still, a lot of functionality is - and I reported them - years earlier than it was introduced. & FORCE TOUCH must be back! BTW!
 
All spec bumps. The only thing that would entice me to a new HomePod mini would be if they support Dolby Atmos and could pair with full size HomePods for full surround.
Dolby Atmos? On the Mini with its single 40mm driver?

Anyway, I am surely not the only one waiting for these spec bumps to upgrade. Have two HP Minis and I am waiting to add another two. Also I am waiting for a faster Apple TV since my old one freezes sometimes.
 
I kind of hoped that new Siri would be available (online) on older homepods. Not sure if I want to sell all those and buy new ones.
 
I'm hoping this list doesn't turn out to be exhaustive. Hoping for a MacPro. There's many of us, even if we are in the extreme minority. Would be nice to know one way or another so we can turn to Mac Studio and PCI breakouts if we can't wait or one is not due.
 
Apple TV : yeah good if you don't have one or have an old old one

HomePod mini : Always good

AirTag 2 : Always good

iPad Pro M5 : Meh

Vision Pro : Are you rich? Even if don't buy

Studio Display 2 : Good for pros
there s no new Vision Pro till next year
