The only thing I’m planning on buying this year is the Apple Watch Ultra 2 when it is released.
Got a tip for us?

Software-wise: I'd like Apple to slow down and focus on quality. A major part of that can be opening up the walled garden just a bit so there are viable, credible alternatives to the Apple stuff when it breaks and stays broken for months (years? Hello, AirPlay to more than one HomePod?).
Hardware-wise, return the Mac Pro to actual Pro status? iMac Pro refresh would be amazing.
Bottom line: focus on the core of what made and makes Apple great and differentiated: a high-quality UI/UX that "just works". Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see an Apple Car, Apple AR/VR headsets, and fancy new things like that, but not if the core day to day stuff continues to suffer quality-wise.

EASY.
I want my messages to sync over iCloud to my Apple Watch...OR...give me the option to delete all Messages at once on my Apple Watch. One or the other.

On Friday, we shared a What to Expect Guide that highlights everything we're expecting to see from Apple in 2023, based on current product rumors and historical release data.
We're counting on the release of the mixed reality headset that Apple has been working on for years now, along with the Apple silicon Mac Pro and a number of other refreshed Macs. There's an iPhone 15 with a USB-C port in the works, and we could get new HomePod and AirPods Max refreshes.
We know what we think we're going to be seeing from Apple in 2023, but we want to hear opinions and wishlists from the MacRumors community. What do you want to see Apple release this year?
Are there new iPhone features you're hoping for, or something new in iOS 17 or macOS 14? What are you wanting to see from Apple's AR/VR headset?
Let us know your thoughts in the comments, and take a look at our What to Expect guide to see an overview of the current rumors. We'll learn a lot more about Apple's 2023 product plans in the coming months, and we'll have in-depth coverage of the rumors here at MacRumors.com.
If you want to discuss Apple's upcoming products and rumors, our MacRumors forums are an excellent resource, plus they're a great place to get help on current Apple products and software options.
As always, thank you to our readers and forum members for making MacRumors the number one source for Apple news, rumors, and advice. MacRumors celebrated its 22nd birthday this year, and that's thanks to our dedicated readers. We are looking forward to another year of rumors in 2023. Happy New Year!

Airplay works fine to any number and arrangement of HomePods, and has done for years.
Why wait - use Homebridge. Most home stuff can link to Apple HomeKit through this already, without paying for upgraded hardware priced to include yet more licensing.
Uh, no it does not for many, many people. Or, in our situation, it works "fine" until it doesn't, and then it does not work "fine", which, in my book, something so basic like audio streaming over a local LAN (that many other companies have completely mastered) should not be the sex-panther type "60% of the time it works all the time". It. Should. Just. Work. That's the AAPL value prop. It does not "just work" for a lot of people. I can understand cellular radio issues, limitations of battery tech, etc that are purely still problems that state of the art consumer tech still hasn't fully grappled with. But streaming audio in a home LAN these days is not bleeding edge. It's easy. My Sonos and Google speakers work flawlessly all the time, 100% of the time. At Apple's premium price point, there is simply no excuse. There are tons of Radar issues open (now for years) on this same issue.
You're lucky if it works for you, don't sneeze near your HomeKit/Home setup. Radar, Reddit, and these forums are full of people having the same issues.

Some people I know have had problems. So far always related to routers that have insufficient capacity for the number of connected devices. The cheapies will “forget” connected devices with as few as 12 connected devices.
YASSSS, they definitely missed an opportunity with bringing back the Space Black watch with the space black 14 Pro
I’m really bummed they stopped making Airport Extremes. I’d love a wifi-6 + mesh version.
New full size Homepod with any sort of standard input as an alternative.
I know having an industry standard input is literally impossible for Apple, but a man can dream.

More differential between Apple Watch Ultra and the regular watch, I would love to see offline mapping for hikes in future models.

The use I would have for AR goggles though I doubt they would ever work this way is to replace the need for monitors/screens. Something akin to ambient computing or "oops apps are everywhere".
1) Watch a video "in the background" as in throw it on the wall so there's a virtual TV I can look at or ignore at a moment's notice while whatever I'm working on is in the foreground as in "right in front of me" in 3D space. 2) Running several terminal commands that take a long time, pin them to the side of the desk to glance at like clocks or tamagotchis. 3) Proverbial spreading photos for a design over the table to see them all and select what's best. 4) if we go full interactive AR then show a print product in real size and layout instead of making a mental map of it from what the monitor is providing.
Maybe I've watched to may "future of computing" videos with actors totally interacting with virtual interfaces...
Well... since everything is "market research driven" now those days are probably long gone.
Has anyone proven things have been leaked on purpose or is that too just in rumor territory?

VR…bigger commercial flop than 3D. Technologically magnificent…probably. Will remain a niche. "Normal" people already getting tech fatigue.
New EyePhone with IPS screen. They can call it how they want, even eyephone for poor people.
I don't care. Not using trash products with OLED which hurt eyes.

i'll give u free adivce as a previous mini owner, (i've had like 3 generations of them for more then 10 years)
buy macbook pro instead, when you will lose electricity you will greatly regret about buying mini.
Believe me, if you think that u live in US and this is impossible to loose it there, you're wrong. Just sharing my thoughts.
Mini IS THE past.
