Removing the home bar which I hate and can’t play games because the white bar is so distracting but Apple refuses for years to let us hide it, I know how to use the phone.
Got a tip for us?

Shopping for a MacBook Pro taught me how badly Apple is ripping their customers off. Your son's $450 PlayStation 5 comes with 825GB, but after formatting and system files comes to 667.2GB of usable space. If your son wanted to add 4TB of storage, he could buy a highly-rated M.2 NVMe drive from Corsair with 4TB of storage for $340 off Amazon.
But when you go to Apple and ask for more storage, the $2000 MacBook Pro they're selling you starts with 512GB and they want $1,080 for 4TB, which is triple the price your son paid for 4TB for his PlayStation!

1. Send photos in emails as attachments, not embedded in the message. Royal pain to get those emailed photos saved.
2. Give us an ambient light sensor switch for Apple Watch to allow us to turn the blasted thing off.
3. Give us the option to turn off the processing of photos on iPhone. We used to be able to turn off Smart HDR. That option is no longer present. Most night night photos do not look good to me. Try to take a photo of the moon or Christmas lights and all you get are white blotches (the moon) and blown out Christmas lights) even if you adjust the exposure setting (the sun on the screen) all the way down. I can see the see the Kennedy Space Center launches where I live and those come out like crap as well. My IP 12 took better photos of the launches. So fix night photos and give us an astrology mode. I know the sensor isn't large enough for moon photos but I has to be able to be better than what it is now. It's just awful.

- Bring back the TV Show and Movies apps on Apple TV. The new app is simply unusable.
- Software quality - fix the bugs.
- UX customization. Let me assign functions to the buttons on my watch that I actually use.

- Nvidia eGPU support on Apple Silicon (yeah, yeah, I know, they've drunk their own kool-aid on Metal)
- Integration between local media content and homepods
- A UX for the home app that is actually usable
- A homepod that has an external speaker port to connect it to a real stereo system, but still has full sound/streaming integration (bonus for including 7)
- Give siri a brain.
- A mac without an SD slot or HDMI port, and two more Thunderbolt ports.
- Storage and memory upgrade prices that are merely unreasonable instead of completely insane.
- Ability to turn off in-browser PDF viewing.
- Bring back the easy 'red screen switching' function on the ultra.
- STOP turning on game center after every OS update. I don't use the damn thing, and it transmits telemetry to game developers - a privacy violation.
Less VisionPro, more iMac and iPad.
Yep, apples upgrade prices are insane.
On the other hand if you look at inflation adjusted prices, what a fully loaded MBP 16" costs today isn't that much more than my first Apple ][+ in 1981 - and it's a whole lot more powerful.

Other than Vision Pro and some form of AppleGPT built into Siri (make Siri not suck!).... I would love to see an M3 Mac Mini (with M3 Pro option too). I really want to buy a Mac Mini but why get an M2 when the M3 exists? Apple should roll out updated chips across the fleet at the same time, not this trickle ****.
You should get out more. People clearly articulate their opposition on these boards all the time.
Better software quality control. Hardware is top notch, aside from the Beats line up, so I really want Apple to not release software until it’s really ready. I believe Apple should separate software releases from hardware refreshes. Specifically iOS/iPadOS/WatchOS. I know this is heresy but I’d also like more customization options, like mapping gestures and button functionality.
I’ll be in the hinterlands waiting for neither of these to be implemented.

I would like to see/hear loudness of native ringtones increased, and I would like to see 120hz screens on all iPhones.
Lord, I'm a simple man. I don't want much. Just beer, boobies and my iPhone

I'd like to see them grow a pair and take regulators head-on. If they (regulators) won't play ball, pull out of the affected countries, see who wins, the people, or the elected officials.
Of course, that will not happen. But still. It's my answer to the OP lol

1. Upgradable RAM, ssd-drives in all Apple computers.
2. A decent Apple monitor cheaper than the Apple studio display but with Apple fit and finish.
3. Make the entry level iPhones more compelling in specification and cost. Even the pro line aren’t that compelling anymore qua specification/cost.
4. Apple TV+ is a joke compared to other streaming services. I just cancelled my subscription when the upped the price to € 9,99 a month. No way it can compete against others. I just want one compelling streaming service.

I would like to see more AI integration into their products, they got too distracted by Facebook and their metaverse strategy, when in the end, there has been more potential, growth and valuable customer use cases in the generative AI space
Last Friday, we shared our annual What to Expect Guide that covers everything we're expecting to see from Apple in 2024, based on current rumors and historical product release information.
We're going to see the launch of the Vision Pro early in the year, followed by new OLED iPad Pro models, a new version of the AirPods, an iPad Air in a new size, an Apple Watch that has blood pressure monitoring and sleep detection, and of course, refreshed iPhone 16 models with a host of new features.
While we know what we're expecting to see from Apple in 2024, we want to hear from the MacRumors community. What are you hoping to see Apple release this year?
Are you looking forward to generative AI? Crossing your fingers for new iPhone features? What would you like to see in iOS 18? Will you buy Apple's Vision Pro 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 be hearing a lot more about Apple's 2024 product plans in the coming months, and we'll have in-depth coverage at MacRumors.com.
If you want to discuss Apple's upcoming products, our MacRumors forums are an excellent resource, plus they're a great place to get help on current Apple products, software, and so much more.
We'd like to thank our readers and our forum members for making MacRumors the number one source for Apple news, rumors, and advice. MacRumors celebrated its 23rd birthday this year, and that's thanks to our dedicated supporters. We are looking forward to another year of rumors and product launches in 2024. Happy New Year!

Definitely need the Apple Card outside the US!!! Surround sound from HomePods would be fantastic as well.
I really want a 30 or 32 inch iMac with at least 16 gigs of Ram. Is that too much to ask for??? c'mon Apple
Sorry, then it seems like I missed it. Or are we talking about „sideloaded apps will harm your device.“? for real, tell me please
The Apple Magic Mouse is not a product that's meant to be best-in-class or used by customers. It's a set piece. Like home staging furniture that's used to sell homes, the Magic Mouse is a decoration that's used to sell iMacs with the understanding that the customer has to go looking for a usable, ergonomic mouse elsewhere.
I’m not gonna lie to you, nothing at all lol. It’s just one of those things for me personally where I don’t like buying a product if a newer one is say ~6 months out or so, especially if it’s something I’m not in a mega rush for. Future proofing, I guess. Just a personal thing.
Since you asked:
1. Resignations of: Tim Cook and Craig Federighi
2. Vision Pro total flop and Tim's legacy as a failure is cemented in history
3. Apple stops adding fluff to iOS and macOS and focuses on fixing bugs/making the software bulletproof
Of course none of this will happen

these, and I would also add that the new Siri please not be limited to the brand new devices. At the minimum they should be able to put this on iPads with a terabyte of storage and 16 GB of ram.
- 32 inch "affordable for apple" 6K monitor
- 16GB RAM as standard across Mac models / 32GB for Pros
- Vision Poor for under $1200
- Apple LaserWriter 2023 (joking)
A VERY heavy investment in the Apple Vision Pro. It’s the future.
