I'll be throwing confetti if iOS 10 will let me run two Excel spreadsheets side by side. That's kind of a big deal to me, which is sad in a way...both for me and for Apple.

Well, you have an option here: use excel and open up numbers. I know, I know. That's pathetic. But hey if you keep waiting for that option it's like asking my father to fully embrace my brother Tyrion.
 
My Wishlist:
  1. Support for side by side 2 windows of the same app in iOS.
  2. Siri in OS X.
  3. Mac Hardware updates. I'm not really in the market for a new Mac, but if they came out with a Mac Mini that was "good enough" for my needs to replace my old Mac Pro I could be tempted, but I think that is unlikely to happen. Most of the Mac lineup is looking pretty tired though.
 
Agree. I was hoping to buy my daughter a laptop before she heads off for college this fall. You'd think Apple would update the line before 'back to school', but I'm not holding my breath. Not crazy about compromising with the current MacBook lines (Air-bad screen, MB - bad keyboard/overpriced, MPB - older specs), but may end up going that route. I have zero faith in Apple to 'wow' us these days.

Would love to see iMessage go to Android though. Always thought it was designed to be a 'universal' application.

Have you considered iPad Pro 13"? iPad Pro plus Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil is the perfect machine for note taking, writing papers and reading textbooks. That's what I'd get if I were going to college and I wasn't pursuing a major like engineering or graphic arts that require certain desktop apps.

I agree about iMessage. It makes even more sense if I can use it to send money to others.
 
You would think Apple would redesign IOS majorly for it's 10 update.

Now I think they should uniform it

Mac OS X
iPhone OS X
 
I hope to see less rhetorical emphasis on stage, which I consider inversely proportional to the real consistency of the products announcement. The more "incredible" "excited" we'll hear, the lesser will be the substance behind the smoke curtain. Eddy Cue's dance should be a reminder for everyone
 
1.Multitasking on the iPhone 5.5" would be nice.

2. Apple Pay for websites would be very good.

3. Improvements to the Photos App especially editing photos.

and to see some news on the new MacBook Pro's and or the MacBook Airs!

That dance was so funny tho :D
 
Would love to see visual refinements or added customability to iOS. Dark mode would be sweet for starters, hope there's more to offer.
 
I've got a feeling that this year the keynote is going to be amazing. Not sure why, just feel that way. It seems a bit more secretive than normal, and it's so jam-packed that Schiller did a few pre-show announcements about the App Store, even pointing out that this was a different approach. That tells me they've got a lot of important things to discuss that they couldn't cut from the keynote.

Personally, I'd love to see their super secret search project come to fruition.
 
Apple seems to be edging ever closer to releasing ARM-based Macs.

A chip with the power level of the iPad Pro (or better), trackpad input, a file system, and a laptop form factor = lower prices and happiness for 99% of the world's computer users.
 
I miss the excitement of the Apple guys themselves.

Jobs I could believe, Forestall I could believe, but sorry, Tim, I really like you, but you're just not the "this is really exciting"-guy. When you sell it, it's just said, not felt. And Phil is cool, but he's more robust and the hair jokes for the other guy, sigh, yeah, he's at least funny, but not really excited.

It's not just the innovation they have - it's the way they sell it. And just using comparisons in the superlative is not enough, it has to be felt. And if that sounds more like show, than that is what it is - and what it has always been.
 
I hope they go back to the 3D look they used on iOS6 and Mac OS X 10.9 The current plain flat look is a step back. I know is the trend; even Microsoft is using it, but sometimes it's harder to read. Besides, it looks unfinished and cheap.

I couldn't disagree more. I love the flat look and I think it makes it so much easier to read and if not so much more fresh looking. Every time I see an older movie with an iPhone with iOS6 on it, it just makes me think how dated and ugly it looked. Of course that's just IMO.

I am hoping for dark mode after WWDC.

The exciting bit of WWDC is we genuinely have no idea what is coming.
The less exciting bit is that probably the answer will be "not much actually".

I'd love to see that updated 13" MBP but keep on telling myself it won't happen. Trying to lessen the pain in advance.
 
Been so close to selling my iPad Air 2 and getting a Surface 3 but thought I'd wait for the announcement first.

I need a far more fully featured word processing app than anything available on iOS. I doubt the yearly Pages updates will change that but I'm going to wait and see, considering they've now released two "pro" devices the might surprise me!
 
Apple should bring STANDARDS to all devices, including Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.1 Type C Generation 2 and SDXC with extra pins for maximum (300 MB/s) read/write speed.
 
I'll be surprised if they make new hardware announcements. I don't understand why anyone is expecting or demanding it either. WWDC has always been an event that's been focused towards software. That's what developers are interested in. They could care less about hardware since they'll be developing the same software regardless of what good or bad piece of hardware Jony Ive cooks up.

There has been a common patten going on for who knows how long and it seems like a lot of people haven't caught on to it. Apple usually has one major event, usually around March that isn't focused on any one particular thing and they put out whatever they couldn't get out in time for the holidays. We usually see hardware and software updates. Then there's WWDC, an event that usually software-focused and more developer-focused rather than being consumer-focused. Then Apple usually has a September event where the new iPhone is unveiled. New Macs or iPads may or may not be at the event. Then they might have one more event, usually around November that is also hardware-focused. Notice that the hardware announcements usually come either during tax season or right before the holidays. This is deliberate. This has been ongoing for at least 5 years.
 
So they already have transportation systems working at the speeds that Hyperloop would offer?
No but the technology for it has been used for a long time and the methods used to reach those speeds were long thought of before Tesla.
 
No macbooks? I have been waiting for an upgrade for the past 12 months and each few months they say they will get it out there in the next couple of months.

Everyone was waiting for new MBP in June. Maybe if everyone was as Rich as Tim Cook they can buy a new laptop each month, but for people like me who are still on their Unibody 2008 macbook they live between dying hardware and the lack of Apple's upgrades.

MR buyer's guide already shows that the MBP are 4 months late on the average update cycle.
 
I don't see much showmanship when I see Elon Musk's presentations. But even without showmanship he managed to get 400,000 people (including me) to put down a thousand bucks deposit on the Model 3.

With no salesmanship ability whatsoever. None. And nothing really new. There's no dog and no pony for the dog and pony show. There must be more to Musk than that, because all the superficial stuff is unconvincing. Yet we're convinced.

You make a great case. You really sell it well, but it falls flat in the face of Tesla's success. Your argument is all show and no substance. After one test drive in a Model S, most people can easily shake off your flashy rhetoric.
My point is that Musk isn't the great innovator he's painted out to be, or indeed at all. All he is, is an investor turned public face of which ever company he is currently involved in. If you have invested to get a Tesla then good for you, just don't do it thinking somehow what they offer is much different to what is already on offer and is really good for the environment, because it's not. If people can accept that and actually like the cars Tesla offers (which I personally thing are a bit too minimalistic, especially on the inside) then good for them and good for you, we all get our cars etc on personal taste.
