Do you know that all fans in a Mac use PWM to control the speed?
iPadOS 14. Preferably with better support for multiple displays. Maybe that involves adding better mouse support, but I don’t really care about that. I think that the current interface of the iPad is awesome. I would just like it if it was possible to offload apps to another display and then switch between them on the iPad display or something.
macOS & iOS:
- Simply stop releasing a new major OS every year.
- if you do, bring back support for open standards like OpenGL and Vulkan.
- introduce containers into macOS and allow people to run old Mac software in a 32 bit container.
- stop blocking the usage of Nvidia cards.
- less features and more stability.
- try to be the best platform for any software.
- stop the Apple only, Metal only vendor lock in.
mac hardware:
- use m2 for SSDs and stop soldering SSDs And RAM.
- no rivets, solder or glue.
- a Mac is not an iPhone and shouldn‘t be build like one.
- bring back some ports for the developers.
- thunderbolt ports aren‘t that great for connecting displays - experiencing massive problems.
- modular build even for laptops. Switching the TouchBar with function keys should not be a problem.
- AMD APU for laptops?
ios hardware:
- step back to a reasonable price.
- enhance repairability. Switching a Backcover shouldn‘t be $600.
- Bring back TouchID.
- Introduce a phone with size and weight of the ip7 with TouchID under the display, no FaceID.

My big wish is that when Apple replaces software like they did with iTunes, the new software has the same or better functionality than the replaced software. Case in point, Home Share, it doesn't work with external drives as iTunes did, you can't use it to demonstrate your own projects like you use to, and they don't seem to care about taking the time to fix it. Catalina was by far my worst update that I have ever had on system software. I've spent hours on the phone with their support until they just stopped calling to give me any update. Does anyone ever user test software any more. I've had to change my whole business presentation structure because they did not take the time to do it right.
I want to see an official alternative way to distribute apps other than the App Store. Apple's rules have not been developer friendly. The only alternative currently (which is unofficial) is at www.altstore.io
Sub $1500 Apple-build 5K monitor. iMac with SSD in base configurations. PWM-free OLED iPhones. More durable iPad Pro. Cheaper laptop RAM upgrades. Non-touchbar MBP.
- A focus on repairability and affordability instead of adding features no one wants or likes that do nothing but increase the cost, decrease repairability and ruin the user experience (think TouchBar and Butterfly keyboard)
- Take responsibility for manufacturing defects instead of waiting until lawsuits happen
- When you realize you messed up, apologize, organize a recall, and stop manufacturing the defective thing. Stop replacing defective parts with identical defective parts. Don't release the next generation product with the same defects. Take responsibility for your own mistakes, and don't make people pay the price.
- Ditch Catalina and bring back Mojave for new Macs that can't run it. It was better in every way.
- Fix the 16 inch MBP screen so it stops causing eye strain
- Make AppleCare free with every Apple product. People should not have to pay for Apple's mistakes. Warranty should be free, because it incentivizes companies to release durable products. When you have to pay for warranty, it incentivizes companies to release defective products.
- Stop selling the LG UltraFine monitor. It is nothing more than a piece of garbage with apalling viewing angles, a terribly inconsistent backlight, visible banding and unacceptable color error. When a MacBook Air has a better built in screen than a stand alone monitor, you know the monitor sucks.

I would like to see a few things coming up this year:
- revisited options when buying iCloud storage space (for instance it cannot be 200GB or 2 TB and nothing in the between)
- a completely redesigned Apple Watch, with a new form factor and native sleep tracking feature
- Apple credit card availability outside US
- Apple tags coming at a reasonable price (25 USD?)
- iPhone camera with 3x zoom
- focus back on innovation and product quality rather than on the shareholders
Really hope someone from Apple can read this thread and maybe get some inspiration from us.

I would like to see Apple do this :
1. Stop updating the OS every year.....Catalina and IpadOS/IOS13 have so many bugs it's embarrassing.
2. I like a Mac mini in which I can change RAM and SSD....ohh and please put in dedicated graphics if you can't be bothered to properly support the eGPU's anymore !!
3. A redesigned iMac, one in which RAM/SSD can be replaced by consumers and maybe larger sizes in screens ? also space grey option for consumers would be nice !
4. iPadOS needs more mouse support !!! even on Android you can use ALL functions of the mouse like swiping and such.
5. Would like to see Apple start using their own ARM based chips for the entire Mac line-up.
6. Maybe a more affordable Apple monitor (and include the stand please !)
7. Get back into being the frontrunner in hardware instead of being one step behind all the time while asking a big price for your products (that means offering Nvidia support as well) !
8. I would like a notch-less iPhone 12 please

Quite a few: Tiger Lake MacBook Pro, improved Siri functionality on HomePod, Apple Watch Sleep Tracking, more powerful AppleTV4K with remote redesign, new iMac Pro, Tiger Lake MacBook Air.
1. iPhone Pro model without the notch, Touch ID addition, USB-C and Pro Motion.
2. iPad Pro Model with an OLED screen, really doubt they're going with the mini-LED screen this early. But I'm pretty confident they're going OLED for the next release.
3. MacBook Pro model also with an OLED screen. I mean the Touch Bar uses an OLED screen, it's time for Apple to make the upgrade.
4. Over-Ear Apple headphones are definitely welcomed.
5. What's wrong with Apple offering at least a black colored AirPods option? Definitely not going to pay extra for it to get colored black from a 3rd party.

A Mac Mini Pro that can sync with an iPad for display and input for on-the-go usability. Also a more affordable pro display, at least 27".

Yes! And keep the headphone jack!
