What Do You Want to See From Apple in 2019?

Chinese version of the Dual SIM iPhone available EVERYWHERE! Two physical SIMs please. None of this eSIM which isn't available in most places (at least until it IS available in most places)!

It's the sole reason I haven't upgraded from my iPhone 7. I want to give Apple my money, but they aren't getting it due to only releasing that phone in the Chinese market.

A decent Mac Pro, iPad Mini with updated internals and design.

Yep. And a decent attempt at a couple of displays (for the Mini, new MacPro and dock for laptops) with a full set of ports - a couple of USB 2/3, 3-4 USB-C/TB, Ethernet, Audio out, SD card, as well as built in camera/mic/speakers for FaceTime etc. Please give us an Apple designed display (not LG) and get us out of dongle-hell in 2019

1) Apple Maps to pronounce names in language of the country, not the phone. Hearing (English) Siri mangle Dutch or German names is always painful and sometimes confusing. Maps is available in those languages so how hard can it be?

2) Face ID is nice but I don't always want to lift my phone so Touch ID too!

3) Face ID on iMacs and laptops.

4) A photo app that doesn't suck in all the WhatsApp shots I receive. Ideally a replacement for Aperture.

An Apple TV stick. I wanted to get my mom a new Apple TV, but the prices are too high. She don’t need 4K or fancy games, just a simple TV watching tool with great speed, ease and image quality. Or lower the price with a 16 GB 4:th gen ATV.
 
My 2 cents:

The MacBook/Air/Pro lineup is too confusing. I’m still of the opinion that the Pro name has lost what it originally meant. Give it some thickness, a decent keyboard and more ports. Going thinner isn’t always going to always mean better. Merge the Air and MacBook and just have two lines, MacBook and MacBook Pro. And yes, bring back the 17” model.

The Mac Pro needs to be something like the cMP. Not a half assed work-around. A decent sized box with the ability to add/remove cards, GPU etc. This obsession with the eGPU needs to go too. Just add the room to add your own and be done with it. I think our desks will literally have half a dozen boxes all connected via TB3/USB cables.

Just one size of iPad and be done with it.

Stop thinking of the products as “appliances”, the forced absolesence isn’t the right way to do it either.

Id like cross device notifications. For instance, I get a Snapchat notification on my iPhone but I’m currently on my iPad. I’d like a notification on my iPad that there is a Snapchat on my iPhone.

iPhones with no notch - if you can’t get rid of the need for it, even making a thin, symmetrical bezel which absorbs it would be more attractive for me.

Cheaper prices in general. Even people who can easily afford the products are starting to be put off by the prices.

iPad pros that support pencil charging on any side you feel like. A pencil that has at least 2 flat sides and has a bit more weight like the pencil version 1, but retains the shorter length. Pencil 1 feels more premium somehow and Pencil 2 cheaper and more plasticky although it’s more expensive.

iPad Mini Pro.

They would all be lovely for me.

Apply real exchange rates: the dollar is not equal to the euro because we are richer than Americans (not all of us).

Drop computers prices by 10% and phone prices by 25%.

Return to the old Mac reliability. The software is good, but the hardware fails too much because of bad design, not random error.

For now, besides the iPad we use for business, I can no longer recommend any Apple product to family or friends, because they are not in the market for expensive wristbands, but need IT solutions. I updated about a year ago so I don't need to make a decision (although the Macbook Pro is crap - broken keyboard, screen discolouring, loose usb-port, dead battery), but today it would not be a Mac. Also, my new phone is a Nokia: Finnish quality design, no bloatware, produced at Foxconn like iPhones, and half the price. No regrets whatsoever.

A 5G iphone so that Apple has time to itterate a few times before they stop supporting my 6s. I don't want to have e first gen 5G iphone, let other people deal with the headakes + no 5G covarage in my city yet
 
1.) New iPad Mini Pro (bigger screen, smaller bezels, better speakers, more RAM Apple Pencil support, etc, etc.)
2.) More colorful smart folios for iPad Pro 11” and 12.9” (Red, Electric Blue, Green, Turquise, Orange, etc, etc.)
3.) Smarter Siri, (seriously Apple, what is going on? Siri should never have fallen behind the competition.)
4.) Re-designed iMac and MacBook Screens (with Face ID and smaller even-sized bezels like the iPad Pro or iPhone XS.)
5.) Better Apple TVs (smaller size would be cool or just overall better made so there’s less breakage and general problems.) I’ve had to replace one 4K ATV only after a few months and now the other one is having major issues. And the two 2015 versions I have are wigging out.

Crazy wants...

1.) Apple Television. I’d save up for 5-years to get a true Apple TV (or I’d like a Sony TV with built in with TVOS.) I mostly want an Apple Television as I want the pixels to be like the retina screens (where they are tiny and you can’t see them, and they look way more detailed than current 4K TVs.) Imagine a 5K Apple 55-75” TV... Apple would make a brilliant television and it would definitely sell IMO.

2.) New iPod Touch similar in design to an iPhone XR/XS or iPad Pro 3, (I wouldn’t NEED one, but i’d buy one.)
Lowering of prices on Macs and all products (if they want to bump up their name and stock I feel lowering prices a tad will help.)

4.) SUPER RIDICULOUS IDEA/WANT...
iPhone 11 to have a major upgrade to the camera, just make 25% of the back a bigger camera with larger sensor to take in more light and get truly better lit photos with massively improved low-light.
Like as ridiculous as this image is... I’d love this, I could use just one device to take quality lowlight, portrait, daylight, nature, landscapes, etc, etc, photos.

Kallum.

I think 2019 will be another hit and miss year -
- They'll do an Apple TV ''stick'' for 99 that will only be 1080p and have 8GB storage
- Homepod price reduction
- iPad Mini 5 at a silly price with the X like styling
- iMac redesign at silly prices 2000+
- Modular Mac Pro at Silly pricing 3000+
- Airpods go wireless and get a price increase
- A Series (ARM) Macbook 12'' at same prices as now

A device that looks like a MacBook Air and behaves like one when you connect your iPhone.

In reality it is just the screen, the track pad, the keyboard and a USB port.
 
I'd like to see a new phone that is not just an elongated, overpriced version of a 10 years old iPhone.
