How about an SE lite that is a super minimalist iPhone. Local music, no internet connection needed. Text, calls, music, and that's about it.
It is very simple: bug fixes a lot of bug fixes. Also better support for PDF (ISO 32000-2), JMAP, CardDAV, CalDAV.
I love it, that nobody is mentioning any AI features but this will be the no. 1 thing they will focus on 😅
Base configuration for all Mac desktops and laptops should be 16/512. It’s long overdue.
Wasn’t there talk awhile back of a new smaller MacBook slotted below the current MacBook Air? There hasn’t been talk of that for quite some time. Maybe Apple thinks it would just cannibalize entry level MacBook Air sales. Maybe they’re right.

How about ram that isn't soldered in and hard drives that arent tied to a processor?
In other words a more serviceable Mac.

A more stable OS experience across all systems, a new iphone mini, actual repairability, and finally supporting industry standards for gaming.
More upgradability, the upgradeable storage in the Mac mini is a great start though.
A 48 megapixel sensor for the 5x lens that crops for a 12 megapixel image at 10x the way the 1x sensor crops to 2x currently.
Also, a "pro" mode that disables computational photography in camera without needing to import into a RAW editor.

A leap in battery technology.
A small phone.
A new Siri.
HomePod with a screen and better Siri so I can kick Alexa out.

You should be able to run your iPhone in a mode with just text, phone and may be a few apps with big buttons for people that are not technologically capable. 
Apparently iOS 17 snuck it in, look up assistive access. Wow

I don't know why if my cellular changes, the CarPlay resets...
A phone where Apple Maps doesn't turn off the display during routing...like how it used to be...
...oh wait I moved to a new car where its built in...
...I guess decrease the number of releases and focus on quality software, state driven and tested.

This exists already - Assistive Access (Simple Mode)... https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/assistive-access-iphone/devcd5016d31/iosYou should be able to run your iPhone in a mode with just text, phone and may be a few apps with big buttons for people that are not technologically capable.
1) 27 inch iMac with black bezels and silver or black color. That will be a hot ticket item.
2) AirPods Max 2, with lossless, better ANC and better battery life, throw in a real case but thats not a biggie.
3) New HomePods, either big or small, allow the ability to make them become a surround system
4) Have the Apple Watch go back to stainless steel, titanium in theory sound nice but its prone to nicks and dents, where as the stainless steel can be polished, the titanium cant. Heck throw in a shiny like stainless steel Apple Watch Ultra.
5) Bump up iCloud storage.
6) When the tech is ready, a foldable without a crease
7) Fix the iPad OS
