Tim Cook's resignation for defrauding startups of their IP, not coming up anything really innovative and for releasing buggy software with security holes.
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!

Great list, but I have to ask if there's anything in particular you want improved on the TV remote?
- Save-states for specific tasks across applications on MacOS
- Multiple User Logins for iPad OS
- Magic Keyboard (small, w/o num pad) in space gray
- Apple Displays with Airplay and wireless charging
- Quick Look / QuickTime codecs and creative files viewing
- Audio sharing more intuitive on macOS and iOS
- Setting storage size limit to certain apps on MacOS and iOS (messages, email)
More reasonably sized phones and removable internal storage on macbooks
Lots of things, but Ill just say more affordable storage upgrade pricing to not confuse any Apple executive reading this thread.
Your pricing to get to 2tb/4tb/etc is ridiculous.

An iMac >= 27", doesn't have to be "Pro", just Apple silicon with bigger screen than the current 24".
cheers.

How does Apple justify its price markup on storage and RAM upgrades for the computers they sell? Is excessive price markup illegal anywhere?
ChatGPT 3.5
Apple, like many other companies, sets the prices for its products and upgrades based on various factors, including manufacturing costs, research and development expenses, market positioning, and perceived value. The justification for pricing decisions often involves providing additional features, quality, and performance.
Excessive price markup itself is not illegal, as companies generally have the discretion to set prices based on market dynamics and their business strategy. However, certain practices related to pricing, such as price-fixing, collusion, or misleading advertising, can be subject to legal scrutiny and may be considered illegal in some jurisdictions.
In the case of storage and RAM upgrades, Apple often emphasizes the integration of hardware and software, claiming a seamless user experience and performance optimization. Users can choose whether the additional cost aligns with their preferences and needs.
If you have concerns about pricing practices, it's advisable to review consumer protection laws in your region and seek clarification from relevant authorities or consumer protection agencies.

I’d like something from Apple that can do this for around $3500 with a 32” 4-5k monitor at more than 60htz:
Did you win a sweepstakes or something for all that? I think the PC world has got that lucky customer taken care of. Apple’s strategy is integrated graphics these days, so the pick-a-part paradigm belongs exclusively to PCs now.
A smaller iPad Mini platform.
Apple is making ground on getting more pc games onto it’s Apple Silicon hardware.

What I’d like to see from Apple this year:
- Headphone jack in at least one new iPad Pro. I want to do Logic Pro on an iPad Pro without Bluetooth lag or adapters, or else I may as well be on my Mac.
- A new ‘small’ iPhone. Doesn’t have to be every year, but a small percentage of iPhones sold is still a hugely successful product by most standards.
- Replaceable (additional) internal storage options in all new macs and more reasonably priced upgrades when you buy.
- Allow 3D output on the AppleTV so that 3D video purchased from store (once launched ostensibly for Apple Vision Pro) or created via iPhones (‘spatial video’) can also be enjoyed through 3D TVs and projectors. Making 3D video exclusive to the Vision Pro (and any later, less expensive models) would only serve to keep it niche, whereas making Apple the company to go to for 3D would immediately enlist the small but enthusiastic 3D fan-base, and I would argue actually help sell more Vision Pros than otherwise.
- A more reasonably priced display.

Fix software - so many stupid errors and bad design choices that would have NEVER passed under Jobs.
Other than the vision pro, that I'm not interested in, apple kinda settled down with their lineup.
The last big change was apple silicon.
I don't expect anything really innovative this year.
I'd love to see a redesigned 11" iPad with oled; hopefully they'll bring the better display technology to the smaller form factor.

I have been saying this for years, I just gave up the hope.
On the iPhone I don't have any problems, but on macOS I'm still experiencing the same bugs after 13 years of being a mac user...
Having been a IBM 286 Guy (granted, donated machines at school…) before I was a Windows Guy (Never thought Vista was that bad honestly…)
Finder is THE single thing thats kept me from going Full Apple….
Starting work at a customer site after the holidays and notice an additional jammed key on my 2021-model MBP 16" M1 (1 year and 3 months old). So, from Apple I would like to see a return to:
1. Keyboard that are working
2. Keyboards that you could easily swap out for a new one.

I need some advice. I have a late 2015 iMac 27 5K. It's no good for video editing and generally very slow. I've been waiting past 2 years thinking a proper big iMac/iMac Pro will be released. It seems it may happen but not before 2025. Should I just get a mac studio + studio display (when mac studio gets m3max update). I really like the all in one solution, and ideally would prefer not to separate display + mac studio. Also not interested in a laptop. I would ideally like a 32 inch display but what I understand they are 4k monitors and don't scale well when paired with mac.
