What to Expect From Apple in 2025

I almost fell asleep reading this.
Nothing has been mentioned regarding blood pressure. Also I wouldn’t trust the watch to be accurate in that space either.
So much negativity in this thread! Anyways, I am very much looking forward to the iPhone Pro Max coming next year as it will be a MASSIVE upgrade for me, however I am definitely unsure about the rumors on it that have come out. It all kind of sounds like decoy rumors to me. Spatial video simply couldn't work horizontally if Apple did what they allegedly will do with the Max, the 16 as far as I know went back to the style the 11 and 12 had just because of that fact.
Besides the phone, I am likely going to be getting the new AppleTV, some new HomePods, and possibly the AirPods Pro 3s. The one I am wondering about is the M5 iPad Pro. I would imagine they will show it either at the September iPhone event, early October, or introduced alongside the M5 Macs at the Halloween event.

Heat dissipates better with Al ( that is L lower case 😋 )
I am intrigued if they change the camera layout and housing
Also I want to see the new prices for the Apple TV since I want one not too dearly since my 2024 tv has all the functionality I need, 4k, Dolby atmos, airplay, image mirroring, chromecast, apps, yeah LG is the best, people!
But I’m digressing
Prices and new products that’s a good start for any keynote!
Fingers crossed department here 🤣🤣🤙🏻
The one problem I have with the horizontal camera setup is that the current setup is used for taking images and video for the VisionPro. Moving them from vertical, for landscape, to horizontal, for portrait, doesn't make that much sense, although it would make them more stable when they are placed on a flat surface.
From the article the command center is just an iPad with a very small screen and dumbed-down version of IOS with no app store. It does not do anything that an iPad could not do.
So Apple will have to price it quite a lot less than the cheapest iPad. At least $200, is my guess.
What I want to see is if they have a good way to power a wall-mounted display, running a USB cable to a charger looks dead-on ugly and taking the wall-mounted display off the wall to charge it every three days is an even worse idea.
The units I use for this purpose are A/C powered and replace a normal switch. But Apple could never sell a device that has to be installed by a competent electrician.
Powering this will be a make or break feature.
How about a new Studio Display XDR with Quantum Dot, Thunderbolt 5, and 120Hz to go along with refreshed Mac Pro?
Barring the usual yearly refresh/updates, waiting to see the new Home device from Apple. Hopefully the Pro model iPhone in 2025 will have a nice colour. A red one will be good.
Not so sure about the iPad Pro in 2025. Possible that there is no refresh in 2025 or a M5 based iPad Pro could be announced at WWDC.

Lots of new iterative upgrades by the sounds of it, but nothing really groundbreaking.
I’m due for a new phone and possibly laptop, so looking forward to what Apple will release.
I like the idea of the iPhone 17 Air, as it could push the boundaries of a large display in a device that’s easier to fit in your pocket, but there’s no way I would accept a trade off in terms of camera tech. So if it’s a neutered single lens camera, I will not even consider it. Also not keen on the 17 Pro moving back to Aluminium, as I really like the titanium of the 16 Pro.

Bug fixing and stability improvements would be a great idea for the next version of MacOS!
I'd also like to see them actually finish off some years old features that they started (but them seemingly abandoned) to make them useful. Launchpad, I'm looking at you. It's getting tiring seeing new features with heaps of potential getting introduced and then just left to fester.

This Command Center thing could probably just be an iPad app, but they’ll make us buy a new device.
I predict Apple will release more boring upgrades and Tim Cook will buy more Apple stock with the profits generated by Steve and Jony’s ideas.
If that's what Tim Cook is doing, it seems to be working for him and Apple and AAPL shareholders.
If you want it to change, you have to get people to stop buying Apple products and driving up the stock price.
It probably WILL be an iPad app. But also a standalone device that can't be used to play Roblox when you want to see who's at the door, or what the temperature is in the media room.
Some people will want to mount this in place of light switches, and light switches need to stay where you put them.
What I want (in no particular order):
- Get rid of the notch
- Get rid of the island
- Enable face unlock on all devices
- Fix the plastic issues that makes the keys shiny after a while
- Affordable storage options on hardware
- AI that works or is not there at all
- Get serious about the Max headset
- Get serious about the mouse
- VP is not going to happen outside very specialized use cases. Let it go.
- A phone which does not require the hands of a giant
In 2025 I want to boot macOS on iPad Pro supporting all iPad apps.
No, it won't, and writing it repeatedly won't make it more true. If anything it will let images be captured with wider depth of field (e.g. more depth sharpness).
The aperture of a non-variable-aperture lens is already as wide open as possible, a variable aperture can only close it down more (thus making the background/foreground of the object in focus sharper).
A variable aperture is mostly a video feature. Atm, the iphone shortens the shutter time to maintain the right exposure if there's too much light hitting the sensor - leading to that dreaded "shuttery" look with unnatural motion blur and flickering artifacts in combination with some lights. A variable aperture would allow to maintain the slow shutter needed for video while reducing incoming light (at the cost of a natural shallow depth of field, but for that they have artificial blurring in "cinematic mode")

Apple could finally address this problem by making it possible to shoot landscape when the phone is held portrait... as the world doesn't seem to catch on such that portrait seems to be the more popular way to hold it for shooting pics/vids. Either fix it so that portrait hold can shoot landscape (as an option) OR provide a tutorial screen encouraging rotation of how phones are held if user ultimately wants TV screen-filling video instead of skinny strip video up the middle with big black blocks on each side.
The big benefit for adopting the Pixel-like camera layout vs. the triangle is physically separating 2 camera to about ACTUAL eye width (for better spatial video). As is (triangle) lenses are too close together vs. average width of eyes. Spread them across or down and lenses will be positioned right for spatial video capture.
