I'll get an updated iPad mini for sure, and then I want to buy some sort of Mac computer for myself. I recently bought one for my wife and now I'm jealous.
Skylake is due out later in the year.
If the MacBook gets a chip upgrade, temptation may get the better of me (although I know the wise things is to wait for v2)

I am thinking about getting the Nexus 9 since my Nexus 7 (2012) has been showing it's age for while and the side buttons aren't as responsive as they once were.
But in general I am tempted to get an iPhone 6 + iPad Air 2, but I am not quite ready or convinced to switch from Android to iOS yet. As it stands I am very pleased and comfortable with Android and the Google ecosystem.

I've been saving up for the last three months to get all these within the next few weeks...
1. 21.5" iMac (to replace my nearly ten year old Mac)
2. Apple Watch, 38" SS w/ Classic Buckle
3. iPhone 6 Plus 64GB (my 5s screen is getting too small for me now)
4. iPhone 5C (for my girlfriend, it's her birthday coming up)

Pretty much just the Apple Sport Watch plus a nice band for work and other occasions.
I wish I got 16 GB with my rMBP for VMs though. Other than that my rMBP is just over a year old so it's great otherwise.

I've upgraded my 1st-gen iPad mini and 4S to the mini 2 and the iPhone 6, and loving both every day. It's possible I MIGHT get an Apple Watch Sport, but I'm not entirely sure. Really wanted standalone GPS and activity tracking in the Apple Watch for my runs, but I do have a $250 Visa gift card just chillin and its itching to turn into my first smartwatch. We shall see!
My '11 MBP is getting up there in age with some new Handoff features not available and no Bluetooth LE, but I just dropped new SSDs (one in the optibay) and it runs like a dream for my music production, so I'll continue to hold off on a new MacBook for a good while longer.

AppleTV (solely for watching Game of Thrones on the HDTV)
Wishing for a 256GB iPad but if none released, might just grab a refurb or discounted Air 2 or Mini 3 128GB.

6s+ for me. And that's likely it. My upgrade is this September and I've been waiting to get to a more premium phone since pretty much despising going with the 5c at launch after the new wore off.
Actually literally just yesterday my sister gave me a Note 3 as I had been curious about trying the Note and the size/form factor. It's surprisingly good. But I don't think its quite 'me' as I'm just too invested in apples ecosystem at this point with iTunes, apps, iPads, Apple TV and so on. I do love the size however so I'll be offloading the 5c on eBay before it loses any more value in preparation for September, and continue using the Note in the meantime.
I am at least passively interested in the apple watches but I'll see how they pan out. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the wife makes a push for one though.

The only thing would maybe be the iPad pro if it is a thing. And it would heavily depend on the whole iOS v OS X compatibility thing. Hopefully iOS 9 or 10.11 brings something that closes the gap between them.
And depending on the Apple TV update, it may be something I consider.
My MacBooks and iPhones are still going strong, so my interest in those are pretty down on the list. I still haven't found value/usefullness for the watch in my life, so its pretty dead to me.

Watch - MUST! I'll be pre-ordering. iMac- Must but I can't get one until I get a job. Hopefully this summer I'll work up enough money for an iMac.
iPhone 6s - not in the budget.
iPad Air 3 - not in the budget
1. iphone 5s
2. Breitling watchI don't see any that I need iwatch now. Only if I could make calls on them like Samsung did.
You can make calls on the Apple watch.

Only the Apple Watch I'll be buying this year. No desire to upgrade my iPhone 6 or my retina iPad Mini as they both work great. My 2011 13" MacBook Pro still works okay just about haha.
I'd say it's unlikely that they'll improve or change the screen of the 6S or 6S Plus, but a substantial upgrade to the camera seems very likely for both models.
With the impending rMB, I'll keep my iPhone 6. I was toying with upgrading to the Plus phone, but it is hard for me justify spending over $1k on a phone when I am not a power user.
So for portability, I might get this rMB since an iPad is not something I use.
