Fewer, better, more stable, and more valuable feature rich OS releases.
Hey CerebralX,
32 gig of ram. There are PC laptops out there doing this already. I would happily trade thin and light for a heavier but portable monster laptop. This for demanding multitrack pro audio / video. And uh, games!
I got around this (not with a 5k unit of course) by buying an older, out of date iMac and setting it up as an additional monitor. I HATED that the thunderbolt monitors totally did not match the iMac in any way.
What I want... though I expect none of it.
1. iPhone X style treatment in the SE style case.
2. iMac 24” with user accessible storage and memory
3. Updated Pages that has a better interface, that is a bit more standard
4. iPad mini with thinner bezels but same display dimensions
5. Another Apple TV remote that works better, not as sensitive, etc.

I want a MacBook Pro that supports at least 32GB of memory. I will buy one the moment Apple makes it available.
Better MacBook Pro so I can change my 2011.
iPad mini 5, or mini Pro, or whatever, just please update the mini!!
A cloud backup service (Time Machine with iCloud support). Crashplan for family was good while it lasted, but it sure would be nice to have an Apple backup service that can be trusted for reliability and security.

I can't believe how many people want a mini, but I'll throw my name in the hat. I have a mini from 2 generations ago, 4-core with maxed out RAM and an after-market SSD. It's still working reasonably well, but I'd replace it if given a viable option.
Much more so, however, I'm looking for the mMP. I have a hurried up cMP 5,1, but I'm getting anxious about having a viable replacement. I do like the iMac Pro, but choke on the non-upgradeable nature of such an expensive computer. For the record, I think it is fairly priced... just not what I want.

- New AirPort extremes.
- Mesh network sollution, preferably buildt into the HomePods.
- iMac with face Id support.

W1 chip support being made available to third party headphone manufacturers, chiefly Bose.
Refinements to iOS on iPad Pro. My 10.5 has already replaced 95% of my Mac usage. Closing the gap on the rest would be much appreciated.

Ha! I'm still waiting for Siri in Macs to support Homekit.
Are we kidding?

Higher dividend or alternatively any productive use of the Irish mountain of cash.
Do those laptops with 32GB of RAM also offer comparable battery life? Also you'd rather have a heavier laptop because of this? For how many people are you speaking? What would you need 32GB of RAM for in a 13" macbook pro without dedicated graphics?
1) More stable software (less bugs, more security) - slow down please.
2) A worthy Mac Mini and Mac Pro
3) More Transparency
4) Less price gouging

The article asked "What Do You Want to See From Apple in 2018?" and the Mac Pro is something I want to see in 2018. I never claimed that they will release it in 2018. I have no clue where you got that from?
Software that doesn't slow down my phones on purpose
They would be able to incorporate larger batteries into that keyboard than are in the 13" MacBook Pro. So I don't see it as needing too much charging. Most probably a lot more charging than regular keyboards though. I also am unsure whether Touch ID would work over bluetooth considering its security sensitive nature and the Secure Enclave etc.
