For 2021 I want Apple to stop using child labour and forced labour to make their products.
Got a tip for us?

Notification sync across all Apple devices, for example if I turn on notifications on both my iPad and my iPhone for the YouTube app and I receive a YouTube notification on both devices, I'd like to delete the notification just on my iPad and the same notification be automatically deleted on my iPhone too.
A switch to turn on/off the Camera on the lock screen.

I'd be happy if they would fix Messages for MacOS, for example - easy select/search emoji (it has noticeable lag), selecting part of a text, just make more "smooth". Add ability to disable automatic airpods device switching. Long press on apple watch notifications to clear all. MagSafe for mac. Touch ID for iphone, pademic proved that face id is not the best option. And they should not bring back the butterfly keyboard, thx.
I've never experienced a hint of lag using Messages. You might want to check your setup or perhaps it's time for an OS reinstall or reformat. And please don't reply saying that others are having the same issue, I'm just letting you know it's not happening with everyone.
I hope this never comes back. It was a PITA.
It's really not that serious, and the pandemic is not a reason for Apple to go backwards in design, especially since the Pandemic is not going to be everlasting.
I think it's obvious to everyone that knows about this that Apple is not going back to Butterfly.

Add the following features to Big Sur's Mail:
Add to Mail Spark’s and Outlook’s features to send an email later, to snooze an email for later, and Outlook’s feature to request read receipts. Add a feature to send an email out as a task such as a reminder. Add another feature to easily copy a link to an email to add it to a note or reminder. Also, add Outlook's refined and powerful search features and move the search bar next to, or right on top of, the list of emails (i.e., the middle panel in the three-panel view).

M1X iMac that swivels to portrait automatically, more powerful Apple TV, new iPhone, Air Tags! I'm one of the few that doesn't mind the Apple Remote, although I wish there was a mute button and a built in speaker so I could "Find My Remote" when it easily slides into the sofa. I also would like to see them address the M1 Mini bluetooth issues that everyone seems to be reporting since 2018. I also would like to see a revised AirPods Max with a physical on/off switch and better protective case.
Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the authentication method added to the 2020 iPad Air.
I'd really like a fingerprint reader to either USB-C or USB. I've come to love the fingerprint scan on my phone and MBP, but I'm downsizing/upsizing to an M1 Mini and, AFAIK, it doesn't have a fingerprint reader.
In our What to Expect article that we shared yesterday, we covered everything that we think we'll see from Apple in 2021 based on current product rumors and historical release data.
New, more powerful Apple silicon Macs with redesigns, iPhone 13 models with upgraded cameras, new Apple Watch models, and updated AirPods are in the works, plus we're expecting to finally get the AirTags and a new Apple TV.
We know what we think we'll see in 2021, but we want to hear from the MacRumors community. What are you hoping to see Apple release this year?
Are there new features you want to see in iOS 15 or macOS 12? Apple Smart Glasses? Updated iPhone features?
Let us know what you want to see in the comments, and take a look at our What to Expect article for a look at the current rumors. We'll learn more about Apple's 2021 product plans during the first months of the year, and as always, we'll have in-depth rumor coverage here at MacRumors.com.
Our MacRumors forums are also an excellent resource for discussing upcoming products and rumors, and with the most exciting Mac refreshes we've seen in years on the horizon, our forums are the place to be for discussions on what's next.
Thank you to all of our readers and our forum members for continuing to make MacRumors the number one site for Apple news, rumors, and advice on the web. We've been around for more than 20 years now, and that's all thanks to you. We look forward to another year of rumors in 2021 and all of the years to come. Happy New Year!

An alternative would be to integrate face-id into OSX, but that would depend on a 3rd party camera.
But either would be fine with me
Are you suggesting that you experienced a bug with an Apple Card purchase, or that Apple/Goldman Sachs just does not post these properly as a rule?
Do these things appear properly on the iOS app?
Again, is the data better on the App or is there no way of receiving the data you want?
Instead of posting complaints about specific issues with your Apple card in a thread about what new products people want to see, where it is unlikely to be seen by anyone in a position to do anything about them, why not create a new thread here on on FICO Forum (a common credit card aficionado site) where you might get a useful response. Finally, specifics about why you hate the statement might also be useful.
fully agree with your MB hardware 'wishes'.
i still have a core i5 12" Retina MacBook and the only thing that'd make me upgrade is an 11" or 12" M1x/M2 MacBook - but since johnny ive 'left' i'm not holding my breath
i knew this article would have many comments right away
there is always a long aapl wish list
i have too many to name here

Me either. I sold my 12" MB not long too long after buying it new in 2018 and I have regretted that ever since.
I’d love to see Apple get Back into the somewhat affordable display business, and actually produce a range of displays for the Mac Mini and as external displays for the MacBook Pro. a nice 4K or 5K update of the Thunderbolt Display (thinner, and maybe multiple sizes) would be awesome.
And a Prosumer Mac in between the Mini and Pro would be great as well, but I’m not holding my breath for that one... 😛

I would love to see a camera integrated into the next version of Apple TV. How awesome would it be to be able to FaceTime from your tv?

Just the ability to manage iOS apps in our library.
No need to download the same app over and over on multiple iOS devices.
A lot of us have data cap on our home internet.

The “same” Apple Music update for iOS that Android devices received 3 months ago... Jeez, Apple.
Apple Music for Android beats iOS to Crossfade - iPod + iTunes + AppleTV Discussions on AppleInsider Forums
Apple has rolled out an update to Apple Music on Android, one that adds enhanced sharing options as well as Autoplay and changes to search, along with a feature that hasn't yet arrived on iOS - Crossfade.

I want to see considerable improvements in accessibility for people with physical and motor disabilities who need to access Apple devices hands-free and by voice
1) the accuracy and capabilities of Voice Control dictation need to improve significantly. Voice Control is great in theory but in practice it is poor at accurate dictation. Words can’t be trained so jargon and foreign names are not recognised and the same mistakes in dictation keep happening time and again. Not productive and very frustrating. If Apple can’t improve dictation with it’s own voice technology it should licence Nuance voice technology for it’s disabled customers who don’t have a plan B to communicate on a iphone, iPad or Mac. Dictation capability needs to go way beyond dictating a short message like “Happy birthday” or “I will be home in 5 minutes”.
2) the company needs to add the ability to end a iPhone phone call with a voice command as you can on the HomePod, “hey Siri end call”
3) company needs to add the auto-answer feature to the Apple Watch cellular; it is a phone after all
4) needs to give users the ability to toggle auto—answer on/off by Siri voice commands “hey Siri turn on/off auto-answer. Ironic that a feature designed to help people who can’t touch a screen requires you to...touch the screen to turn it on!
5) extend default apps to include voice assistants. You can’t trigger Apple’s Siri on Amazon’s Echo Frames smart glasses hands-free without reaching up and touching the Frames. This is impossible for many motor disabled people. There will be many other examples of how lack of interoperability between tech gadgets holds back accessibility. Whilst voice access to Siri by other brands is technically easy to offer Apple will jealously guard full access to Siri but it comes at a cost to some folk. There needs to be more moves towards default apps on devices by all the tech giants. More open and interoperable tech will certainly liberate many disabled people who can’t currently access technology. Fewer silos and more access in 2021 please big tech. I am sure a move like this will help with antitrust cases.
