What Do You Want to See From Apple in 2019?

A 4-inch iPhone for those of us with smaller hands. The day that Apple announced it was killing the SE I bought another one just to stick on the shelf for when my current one bites the dust.

Plus a round watch.

Yes and MUCH better accessibility features for one-handed use. With the taller screens, there's too much thumb stretch between the upper and lower controls in nearly every app, even for people with large hands. We need a better solution for that.

I would buy these two things in a heartbeat, they're my biggest pet peeves. The third, a Macbook Pro for Pros (borrow ideas from iMac Pro).

A repair program for Macbook Pro 2016 and 2017 computers suffering from "flexgate." Those stage light halos started showing up on my Macbook pro 2016 display yesterday. :(

I wonder if iOS 13 will do something similar to the new Samsung android UI and switch all of the iOS UI controls at the top of the screen to the bottom. Another reason why I suspect that iOS 12 will stick around as the ‘classic’ version of the OS (for those that don’t want that change & to optimise this arrangement for Face ID phones).

One of the smartest things they can do that would also help with one-handed use would be to reduce the amount of buried common functions that require extra taps to access, and/or return to using the available screen space smarter via more intuitive uIX features and layouts (like before ios7) driven by function/need instead of blindly adhering to an arbitrarily-created form/theme that often wastes so much space and uses flat design that is less intuitive therefore sometimes requires more extra space to differentiate the less-intuitive flat design controls. Less reaching/tapping/scrolling and the return of more obvious & available controls would be WONDERFUL.

Not asking for the return of stitched leather but more obvious uIX features in a smarter arrangements based on function and intuitive design and not Jony Ive’s over-reaching minimalist form/fashion sense.

Same:

Fix hardware issues (keyboard, Bluetooth, touch irresponsiveness). I want an iPad with enough memory that I can draw in Procreate while using it with Photos in split screen without freezes and touch/pencil irresponsiveness.

Fix the software.

Smaller iPhone.

Is there a way to stop the tv app from defaulting to sports? That’s so annoying.

I have an iPhone 6s and after the latest update Siri stopped working, won't talk to me and although I get an initial typed reply siri just dies off right after.
I click on siri and search settings and the phone just freezes there
 
MacBook Pro keyboards that a user can depend on. My group has 2/2 butterfly design fail now. Never before have I experienced a MBPro keyboard fail - with some machines in use for >8 years.
 
Bring back a small MacBook 12 inch with updated processors. MacBook Airs are the same footprint as a MacBook Pro now.
Bring back touch ID to the iPhones.

I just had to replace my 2017 MacBook Pro Display to the tune of $600. The certified Apple repair shop said they have seen a lot of these lately (meaning crazy colors on screen and other display problems). The problem is a well know "Flexgate" issue and on May 21, 2019 Apple finally acknowledged the problem and began repairing this for free on the 2016 MacBook Pros but has not acknowledged this problem with the 2017 version so I had to pay. They also redesigned the 2018 MacBook Pro to resolve this. You can read more about this here:

Lets hope Apple steps up and does the right thing here.
 
Get rid of the frippery that is the touch bar. Put a reliable and usable keyboard on the MBP - the current one, even the 2019 version, is awful to type on. Lose the obsession with thin at all costs. Shrink the damn trackpad.

Make the MBP bigger to allow for better cooling, a bigger battery, more RAM, and better reliability without throttling.
