What Do You Want to See From Apple in 2024?

New lighter AirPods Max with a proper case, H2, USB-C, etc. iPad mini without the jelly scrolling, A18, etc. iPhone 16 Pro with a different looking camera cluster so the phone doesn’t look like the last several generations. New redesigned Apple Watch like the rumors are hinting at.
- Apple needs to make an aluminum iPhone Pro. I picked up the iPhones at the local Apple Store a couple days ago, and I thought the iPhone 15 Plus was a miracle! It was so large, and yet didn't feel heavy! The only problems with it was no Pro Motion screen, no Action Button, and no telephoto camera. Well, Apple just needs to "upgrade" their iPhone 15 Pro Max to aluminum and have all of the Pro benefits with none of the weight!
- Apple needs to add right-side I/O to the MacBook Air. I'm mostly impressed with the M2 MacBook Air, but it could do with at least a single USB-C port on the right. MacBook Airs used to have USB-A on the right side, but no longer.
Bring back Lightning more like it.
I just had to buy ANOTHER USB c cord. It's so annoying that i have all these lighting cables and never had an issue (Some are Apple and others are 3rd party) but USB C....issues galore.
This one just stopped charging altogether (I tried several phones)
I want Apple to focus on eliminating the numerous bugs in both iOS/padOS and macOS.
do people actually use the Action button lol?
Also, i feel like Aluminum would feel cheap. I like the HEFT because it feels premium
Usb-c mouse and keyboard, multi user ( online/cloud ) collaboration for final cut.
It’s on purpose. Just like the 64 GB and 256 GB iPad storage options when most people really want 128 GB.
Absolutely. 5GB free tier and the lowest paid tier are both ridiculous in 2024.
For years products have been designed purposefully to oppose repairability, which has always run counter to Apple's evidently false claims to care about the environment.
I think they’re just some sheep who read it in some boomer magazine. But you’re correct, macOS is one of the most insecure OS on this planet, due to the feature to install (own) software.
But if you check some old threads we learnt that USB C is worse than 15yrs old Lightning and that its communism to tell Apple to use USB C 🙃
@iHorseHead Just Google a tutorial on how to get Turkish iCloud Family storage. That’s how I did it and I am using it together (without AppleID switching) with my Swiss one. It cost you roughly 2€ (USD$ ~ 2.20) per month for the highest tier, think it was 2TB
Absolutely agree. As cheap as RAM and storage are, it's clear price gouging when it's combined with deliberately engineering the devices to prevent upgrading. 16/512 should be base specs for Air/little iMac/Mini and 18/1tb should be base for the cheapest Pro.
I don't think any sane Apple buyers (that aren't also shareholders) are happy with the 1,000% markup we're forced to pay on the prices Apple pay for RAM and storage.

I'd be enormously grateful if Apple could hire a college intern to start up a software QC department :-/.
They ditched it because Apple had considerable competition for wireless routers. Also because Apple purposely tried to make their routers crippled as far as their feature set. Examples:
- The AirPort Extreme that couldn't be used a wireless bridge or WiFI extension router.
- The AirPort Express only offered 802.11n even though the Airport Extreme was utilizing 802.11ac?
Reasonably-priced RAM upgrades and/or 16 GB starting RAM. (Unlikely to happen under Apple's current leadership with Tim Cook which is notorious for being stupidly greedy with RAM and storage).
A native Music app that doesn’t choke on large libraries.
Yes, if it was up to Steve he would have probably got rid of all ports on the macbook Pro by now… cause airdrop and icloud. /s
yes. yes. i said yes.
im not much for conspiracy theories, but, im beginning to think that apple refusing to fix this is simply because there are millions of people in the world who fall asleep while listening to a podcast, and leaving this unfixed must be increasing the data about how many podcasts are played giving the apple podcast platform some uplift.
and while they are at it, they need to fix the suspicious differences there are in how responsive the fast forward button is for some podcasts and how it frequently resets to just 15 seconds fast forward instead of something like the 60 seconds that i need to set too frequently.

I would kind of like to see them bring back the Time Capsule with updated specs and wifi 7. Maybe make it a mesh system.
