iPhone 14 looks like it's going to be awesome judging from the rumors, but it's still so far away lol. Hard to be excited about something that's so far away from launch, assuming it's September 2022

13" is small enough for M2 and fanless design..remember the next macbook air will be even smaller than the current one, thanks to shrinking the bezels all around, like the Mbp
Wireless charging on the iPad? Why? Also wouldn’t it take like a day to fully charge at the currently available „wireless“ charging speeds?
I wish they get rid of so much glass on the iPhone. It makes it unnecessarily heavy. I love how light my Galaxy A52 from work is

Don't really care about the slab phone anymore. I'll wait for Apple to make a foldable.
I always imagine a religious gesture being made when the faithful invoke his hallowed name.
16:9 is fine if all you are watching is YouTube. If you watch anything else more cinematic, let alone anamorphic aspect ratios you will hate the notch. While I’m not “a monster” to zoom in on video I do zoom in a lot in pictures in full screen and the notch gets in the way in any orientation. Websites in landscape have to reformat in a certain way to avoid getting cut by the notch. It’s horrible. But like I said, I’m glad there’s people not bothered by it.What videos are you watching?
For normal 16:9 content... the video doesn't come anywhere close to the notch. Neither does the more trendy 2:1
But if you're one of those monsters who zooms the video to where it goes under the notch... and therefore also cuts off the top and bottom of the video... that's your fault.
I held off on getting the Pro Max and got the base 14" instead because my workflow software has yet to optimized for Apple Silicon. Most 3D rendering, 3D modeling, CAD has yet to be optimized and lag behind Intel. Even the 3D slicing software I use has yet to be optimized to Apple silicon, so I look forward to seeing how the new Mac Pro adrersses these shortcomings.
I would love to see the iPhone 4 design make a come back. I miss the round volume buttons and the back glass. I hope these finally come without the camera bump. Never like that ever.
So what does "marginally better" for the M2 mean? To me, that means slightly better. New colors and a more 12" MacBook-like design would be welcome, but I want the chip to be substantially better. The M1 is awesome, but it's also 14-months old already and an M2 in Sept/Oct should blow it away.
Hmm... Only 1 new Mac mini class? I was hoping for 2 new Mac mini classes.
1. Spring M1 Pro/Max high end model with new form factor, lots of memory, and lots of ports.
2. Fall M2 low end model with same new form factor as above, less memory, and not so many ports.
I wonder if people will ever realize how foolish they sound when they repeat that cliché.
Maybe, but I think you are early in your prediction. Unless Apple plans on reentering the wireless router marketplace and become a driver I don't see them acting so early. Especially with the very high prices of current routers and low adoption rate.
That doesn't make much sense. For people who need the performance, a lot of current software can easily make use of the performance increase offered by even M1 Max.
Apple will adopt WiFi 6e eventually, but it will be evolutionary, not revolutionary. Personally I don't care much about WiFi 6e, and I don't see it happening in 2022 for Apple anyway.
So the only feature coming on the iPhone 14 Pro that is most interesting to me is the removal of the notch. I have never minded the notch so don't care either way, but I think it's neat that will be able to pack the FaceID hardware under display. Everything else with the iPhone 14 Pro will probably be even more iterative over the 13 Pro line than the 13 Pro was to the 12 Pro. Hard to imagine battery life will be much better, we got ProMOTION, significant jump in cameras, battery life as mentioned, still a future proof design. So other than the notch removal I don't see the iPhone 14 Pros being that compelling.
As ugly as the hole punch looks, I wouldn’t REALLY complain considering we’re essentially getting an iPhone that’s ALL screen. I just hope there’s wallpaper I can use to hide it.
I say it every year lol, but this is going to be an exciting year for Apple!

No the world needs to wake up and realize unless you are wearing a properly fitted N95 mask, you are doing nothing but virtue signaling wearing a cloth or surgical mask. TouchID isn't coming back to the iPhones when Apple has the Apple Watch workaround. I am happy to be proven wrong with the addition in the power button like the iPad Air but I don't see it happening. Like USB-C on the iPhone.
After all these years, I still dislike the notch. The hole punch isn't a perfect solution, but it would be a great step in the right direction.
1) People sometimes take their watch off.
2) For Face ID to work, it has to be facing the user at the right angle, at the right distance, and in portrait mode. YMMV, but I find it restrictive, and yes I have an Apple Watch.
I still prefer Touch ID to Face ID on an iPhone, but I would prefer to have both.
Ironically, I prefer Face ID to Touch ID on an iPad. The annoying thing on the iPad though is that the Apple Watch workaround is not offered on the iPad.
I don't see Touch ID coming back either but the Apple Watch isn't a complete workaround. It gets you halfway there because:
