What Do You Want to See From Apple in 2020?

[kirkj1s]

A new small iPhone, eliminating the notch and featuring Touch ID and a headphone jack socket.
A new iPad Pro, similar design but headphone jack and no bending issues.
A halving of the price of the entry-level Mac Pro, or a functionally similar machine at a lower entry price than the current one.

And I know... all unlikely, but it’s what I want to see from Apple, not what I expect to see...

Agreed! And please give us a new Apple Display XDR or not around the $1000-1500 range!!

iPhone Pro that supports Apple Pencil.

An AppleTV with a built-in TV tuner and OTA DVR, integrated with iCloud.

This, combined with a stupid display that's focused in size and quality.

I'm so sick of all this "smart" garbage and that buggy TV software all around...

I would Like to have Tim Cook send his best engineers up to the mountain top like Steve Jobs would have, and tell the don't come down until they have invented something new. Not different colors, size or power.

I want an Apple to make HomeKit a priority. Improve the usability of the app and increase the versatility of shortcuts.

I'd make an decent OS a bigger priority

What about compensating everyone for the destruction Catalina as caused people.

Updated iPhone SE with a better camera.

Updated MBA with better graphics performance and scissor keyboard.

Can we get a smarter Siri please?

Amazon and Google are running circles around Apple when it comes to the intelligence of their digital assistants. You ask Siri a basic search result question and she gives you a link to a search result while Amazon and Google just tell you the answer. How is Apple making their AI accessibility friendly when that’s what happens?

Apple really needs to step up their game considering they were the first major company out of the gate with a digital assistant and now they are last in term of usability. Siri needs to be better because Apple at least says they are concerned with privacy, while Google and Amazon make few to no assertions about user privacy on their platforms.

ARM MacBooks. 2x the single-core, multi-core and GPU performance of the 16" MBP, 4x battery life, less expensive, improved Catalyst app support, unified App Store. Also, more frequent meaningful MacBook updates.

Adding new features such as XDR display, matte display option, 5G option would be cool.

 

[rpmurray]

Less virtue signaling.
Adherence to the Apple Human Interface Guidelines. No more hide and seek interface.
More documentation, particularly for APFS.
Put fixing major bugs ahead of adding more bling.
Abandon things that obviously don't work, I'm looking at you butterfly keyboard.
Finish adding Quicktime 7 Pro features to Quicktime X that were promised years ago.
Stop turning macOS into iOS.
Kiss and make up with Nvidia.
Stop telling us you have a commitment to the Mac when your actions show that's not true.
Start making your hardware more repairable so you'll actually show you care about the environment.

Software Software Software! Focus on making your software actually work again. I miss the old Apple.

 

[X38]

Bring back AirPort.

[mazzeri]

16” iPad Pro.

 

[pmau]

An affordable Mac Pro 7,1 light – same form factor but aimed at prosumers.

This. Maybe smaller, but with decent cooling.

I do not buy iMacs, because I do not want a monitor with hardware inside.
The mini has too few options.

I'm willing to pay $3000 - $4500.

Update the MBP 16" to the latest components. I was ready to jump on the recently released MBP 16", but my late 2016 MBP 15" just came back from the Keyboard Replacement Program with a new keyboard, but also new speakers and new battery. As long as it looks, acts and sounds like a new machine, I can keep using it awhile longer.

I want to see a re-release of the iPhone 5 with 2020 internals. I also want to see iOS 14 include a theme option with a "classic" option restoring the iOS 6 look. Or perhaps them just restoring the original iOS look. I think we've all suffered with this hideous flat look that is iOS 7 for too long now.

 

[ThisBougieLife]

Updated re-designed iMac.

 

[Manzanito]

The return of Aperture.

 

[andreasts88]

iPhone internet recovery support

 

[sniem_mac]

I want Apple TV to be able to join networks that require you a secondary login (captive networks). See https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204400 (part 2). Just ran into this issue again and wondered why this defect still has not been fixed.

 

[magicschoolbus]

an iPad calculator and activity app..

 

[Ronald Reagan]

Type C connectors, 90 or 120 hz refresh rate on iPhone displays.

 

[mopixels]

A Mac Pro "Classic" for less than $4,000.00 base price. Contemporary specs with 3 or 4 PCI slots - 1 of them double wide. With a keyboard.

A 2nd App Store that is focused on those who have NO interest in Games !

The existing App Store has a heavy slant / bias towards Game Apps !!

Why Apple didn't implement this years ago is a BIG mystery.

85% of the App Store revenue comes from Game Apps, 10% from streaming media content "sub" apps, & 5% from everything else ... it's the everything else category that needs help ... a dedicated, 2nd App Store for such apps would do wonders for Apple's bottom line, as well as the Apps that would flourish on this 2nd App Store.
