OK, but where do they draw the line? Why can't someone trademark something even more ubiquitous like "Press 1 for English"?

It is their Original Content TV Show they are creating.

Assuming you mean Time Capsule? That would be cool. Also would be nice if it were a centralized HomeKit solution running on Apple TV
I wonder if they will start making Time Machine backups available through the cloud? 2TB tier should be enough for most people...

It worked horribly when Lenovo tried it on their Thinkpad. But if anyone can make it work I'm sure Apple can.

Who says any of this stuff is being announced tomorrow? These are just marketing names Apple has filed trademark for.

An Amazon Echo/Google Home rival that is also the hub for Home Automation?

My worry is how they may gut the whole computer just to make it wafer thin.

I myself have found a trademark listed as 'iSight Duo' - the name of the new 7 Plus camera potentially.
I also saw a listing for for 'Scribble' - perhaps for iPhone Apple Pencil. I saw one listed as 'A10 Fusion' as well.

I agree that it sounds neat, but holding the front camera up to one (or both?) of my eyes for a moment just seems weird. Now, if Apple has found a way to scan retinas from a distance (such as normal phone-from-face distance), in regular daylight, then OMG that's some dope tech!

This is important.

With Alexa-like features from Siri and voice-activated HomeKit control and I'm all in!
Honestly I think Apple could break open this market. Think of an all-in-one device that is a wifi router/modem, personal cloud storage, voice-activated Alexa-like features by Siri (weather, reminders, grocery lists, timers, send texts, etc.), and voice-activated HomeKit commands (link with lights, Nest, doors, etc.). That would be fantastic.
My money is on some way to put positive spin at phasing out discrete gpus across the line. Iris is the name of the integrated graphics chip in a lot of the Intel cpu products apple is using.
yeah I would guess the smart button will be on the macbook pro and will be a combo touchID sensor and power button. If they incorporate it into their existing keyboards it could also replace the eject button for those macs that have an optical drive. Likely won't be a real button, more of a capacitive button with force touch so a light touch ejects and a deep touch if the power off button

I agree. For it to be successful, it needs to work from a distance, just picking up the device to look at it. Maybe it could work in the dark using some form of tech that scans in low light conditions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_vision It would need to work in both light and dark otherwise the user experience will suffer.

If you want to be PC, should we work our way through the animal kingdom too?
