What Do You Want to See From Apple in 2022?

I want Mac OS Mammoth (or whatever 13 is going to be called) to take more advantage of the focus and multiple desktop features. I love have a separate desktop for work and personal windows during the day, and would love if I could choose which notifications appear on which desktop (i.e. I wouldn't get iMessage notifications on my "work" desktop, and I wouldn't get outlook notifications on my "personal" desktop).
I don't like higher prices and price increases, but laying this at Apple's feet is a little odd for two reasons. First, Apple has always had premium prices. Second, inflation and limited component prices are huge external forces on costs for Mac (and all PCs). You can complain about Apple profits and cash all you want, but that is nothing new.Prices went up not in the US market but in other countries internationally. It makes it harder for them to upgrade.
Over The Last 14 Years, iPhone Prices Have Gone Up More Than 80%
Since its launch in 2007, the price of the iPhone has gone up more than 80% around the world, according to a new study that looked at iPhone prices...www.macrumors.com

Apple will need to pay more for the chips in its devices and may pass rising costs on to its customers, according to sources speaking to Nikkei Asia....
iPhone 13 Upgrade Warning: Apple Cuts Trade-In Prices Up To 20%
Apple has just made iPhones significantly more expensive for millions of users...www.forbes.com
In my opinion, the real challenge for Mac right now is that the software isn't as unique as it used to be. So, the prices feel higher than they are, because the value is slipping.
If Apple ever releases an MBP with cellular data option, I'd jump on that like a rabid animal.
Having that much raw (and efficient) power be well & truly portable would be a godsend.

A good idea, didn’t think of that but t that would most likely but the route Apple took. My old Mac Pro is stuffed with ssd disks with orchestral libraries and audio related work. Wouldn’t like to see them sticking out of the back in USB adapter case but I guess you can’t get everything.
1. Stop favoring form over function. It doesn’t matter how good it looks if it doesn’t work.
2. FIX the cluster F that is HOMEKIT.
3. Give Siri an IQ that is not zero.
4. FaceID is stupid. Nix the notch and give iPhone TouchID in the power button.
5. Restore Pages, Numbers, and Keynote to pre iOS greatness.
6. Return MacBook TouchPads to a sane size, and the inverted T cursor keys to full size, because neither bears nor hamsters use computers.
7. Bring developer documentation back to the quality and comprehensiveness of the pre-OS X era, and stop relying on video tutorials (they are such a MONUMENTAL TIME SINK).
8. Get AirPods Pro to stop hanging up on calls when I barely touch them.
9. Stop deleting movies and shows in my library that I PAID FOR.

A new iPhone SE in the iPhone 8 form factor or preferably square it off and make it thicker.
Must have home button, bezels, 4.7in LCD screen, current CPU with 6G ram (ie the latest tech), 128 base storage, the latest wifi and bluetooth specs. Headphone jack would be nice.

A decent headless mac that has: good cooling for use in constant >35°C heat, integrated replaceable air filter, low noise, replaceable/upgradable motherboard to reduce waste when upgrading, nice design, multitude of ports including USB-A.
A mouse that has AA/AAA batteries.
A keyboard that takes AA/AAA batteries

The last breath of the Marketing department ?
I still use the mouse and have no problem with it.
1) 240 HERTZ monitors on iMac (or at least 144 Hz). The fact that a 2021 iMac still has 60 Hz is rediculous. I hope they make a Intel 240 Hz 2022 version. (Ps. I use my iMac for competitive fps games).
2) MUCh better Macro images on iPhone. I want to be able to take pictures really close to objects.
3) LOWER prices. The prices have increased over and over, to a point that is rediculous. Just because they can get away with it doesn’t mean they should do it.
4) A notification/countdown on iPhone when it’s about to turn off from low power. We get the 20% and 10% notification, and I always think to myself I have plenty of time and BOOM it turns off. A 1% notification would be nice.

Allow me to disable multi-tasking in iOS. I don't use it, and it's annoying when I go to close a tab or something and I accidentally click on the multi-tasking icon instead.
Make the close button for tabs in Safari bigger and more obvious. They are too difficult to see.
Let me turn off the transparent menu bar in macOS without having to resort to editing my wallpaper or having to download programs to do it for me.

Keep improving Siri dictate - I havent typed an iPhone message in over a year but have to correct a message about one in 10.
Would like to see iPhone, Macbook Air and bigger iMac. Also would like Apple to release all their products in colours and not limit the colours to just the non Pro variants. At least gold for iPad Pro, Macbook Pro and bigger iMac
Hardware:
- Larger iMac (Pro), preferably with color options. I highly doubt we'll see colors for a pro-level iMac, but I can dream.
- Apple-branded consumer-priced display. I don't need one, but I really want the option to be there.
- Bug fixes in macOS. I'm not experiencing many issues at all, but there are certainly a lot of things that aren't working well, even if they aren't due to bugs. I would love to see a lot of optimizations made that make for less friction when using the features available. There's too much clicking required here, too many UI inconsistencies there. It just seems jumbled and un-polished.
- Please, for the love of God, do something to make the News app useable. Text is too small on the Mac and can't really be adjusted, but that's just the start. It's a port of the iOS app (which isn't that great to begin with) and it shows.
- Podcasts app... what can I say. It's garbage and needs to be tossed in the bin and rebuilt from scratch under the supervision of consumer-level people who aren't professional podcasters. It currently tries to do too much for me automatically. If it involves any manner of auto-sorting, algorithm-related decision making, or anything else like that, it needs to go. Back to the basics should be the goal.
