And it is essential for Apple to get the iPhone even thinner because ... ? I think Apple should realize some time that a phone that is too thin makes no sense (in an ergonomic and handling way) ... Don't encourage them by implying it's every iPhone models goal to get thinner...
They should rename the website Mac Rumors or something.
I know it's a bit too much to ask, but can we get OS X 10.11 fixed first?
In order for it to be essential to remove or replace the 3.5mm jack, the phone would have to be thinner than 5mm. Since all iPhones are currently thicker than 7mm, so shaving of 1mm has nothing to do with it.
EXCEPT: the 3.5mm hardware in its entirety takes up over 184mm of cubic space inside the iPhone, so shaving off 1mm will definitely benifit from having more internal space without the audio jack in order to spread out the remaining components. And keep in mind, even if they don't make the iPhone any thinner, they would still need more room inside to add new features, like the Taptic Engine in the 6S, just to keep the phone the same size it is now.
iOS is always going to be different because it's not up against Windows. The Mac will always have to play second fiddle to Windows so the strategy for promoting the two shouldn't be the same. Windows users are attracted to Windows for largely the same reason people are attracted to iOS—because that's what everyone else is using. Macs don't get that benefit.
I would hazard a guess that they are very much the exception to the buying public. Developers always have oddball demands of their machines.
Let's stop repeating Apple's marketing chatter, shall we? If they aren't interested in catering to the low-end, then the Mac Mini shouldn't exist at all, neither should the iPhone 5C. Apple very desperately wants to cater to the low-end without damaging their high-end business. And that's perfectly understandable. But talk of the low end here isn't even relevant. We're talking about a mid-range, headless product between the Mini and the Pro. None of the Windows users I'm thinking of were looking for cheap machines. They were willing to pay, but to get what they wanted, they had to start climbing up into the Pro prices which is, I think we can all agree, unreasonable for individual users. And from what I've seen, an all-in-one like the iMac generally doesn't appeal to the Windows crowd.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: the iMac needs to die. They can keep redesigning it, making it thinner with each iteration (at the cost of features users will want) but there's no avoiding the obvious. It's time for the iMac to go and make room for a really good mid-range, headless Mac.
That's great and I love that, but it sidesteps the point I'm making. For many years Apple put out campaigns trying to lure Windows users away and try a Mac. And for all that time, they offered nothing that would appeal to a majority of those potential switchers. It makes no sense.
Alas, no mention of what I'd like to see in 2016.
1. Mac Light (or Lite): A laptop based on Apple's own iOS chips. Price it like an iPad.
2. Mac Sturdy: Just joking about the name, but Apple needs a laptop like the white MacBooks of years past. Make it ideal for schools and parents. Sturdy not absurdly thin. Easy to upgrade. Easy to fix. It's ridiculous to ask middle schools to buy laptops as fragile and hard to service as the MBA.
I don't think, APPLE will include a camera to the Watch. I still believe/hope, that APPLE has different interests to Google (the google glass-holes).
Yo
U forgot to include an appropriate image sensor into your set-up. VGA resolution is so out of date ;-) Equipment for "detectives" can be found elsewehere, if you like such tools.

Exactly my mindset. Its the reason I have hackintoshed for as long as I have for the desktops, theres no Apple option that does the job I need anywhere near as well. Sadly this has the potential to push me out of the Apple ecosystem, as the moment I can no longer hackintosh, I go completely linux and leave the mbp, and i-devices behind.
I wonder when we will see a bigger Imac screen from Apple!
Also can we expect a standalone 5k screen from Apple anytime soon?

Agreed with some people, here a mac with i5-i7 specs desktop, for users who want a desktop, but do not want to go to a AIO or a Mac Pro. Maybe something starting at £700. May sell quite well. i5, 1tb, 8GB, and Iris Pro starting from that price. T
Problems: 1. no audio jack on iPhone 7. Unless they figure something out that works well, but 3.5mm jacks are a standard, and Apple is good at creating standards, but also good at creating bad "standards". This could be the final straw for too many folks, me included.
As for a 4" iPhone. I'm cool with that. Some folks like smaller phones, and that's just fine. The fact some complain about a smaller iPhone is what really makes me wonder. If you don't like it, don't buy it. (ibid.)

In tears???? What's wrong with you?

I predict more predictions 
I'd like to see Mac Mini with an SSD as standard instead of an option.
the 2.5-inch in the mini is gonna get full anyway, and since users are more likely to expand it by attaching usb 3 storage bigger capacity 3.5 inch drives, Apple may as well use ssd by default for fast boot up time.
(What's with all the 4K displays on Mac's?.... It's fine for those that have 4K,, much in the U.S but what about the rest of the world) ? If there is gonna be 4K on Mac, then don't expect same price..

Most people aren't buying features because we need them. I'd say here are a few reasons though:
- cutting edge
- apple fans, we want and expect the best
- not let the competition get ahead
- 4k screens look amazing
I for one have my fingers crossed the new mbp15 will have it. Been jealous of my dell friends who have had it for the two lastest releases of the xps.
No actually - I was wondering what 4K content you actually have that could benefit from being played through a 4K AppleTV?
Simple as that.
AppleTV probably won't get 4K support until iTunes Store gets such content - Apple aren't going to introduce functionality that Apple itself can't provide content for.

Wonder if a 17" MBP will come back? 4K display, up to 32gb ram, and one of those new Mobile Xeon processors. A better GPU, then in the 15". P3 display. Something much more powerful, for the content creators on the go. A kind of mobile version of the Mac Pro.
I just purchased one with a 5Mpx camera, 32GB memory and a SIM card. This makes sense, and I can leave my iPhone at home, and since it runs Android, I can "mirror" applications and get a bigger screen when I need it. There is nothing Apple can do about the positioning of the ear - that we use to hear, the mouth that we use to speak and eyes that we use to see. With a camera I can let other see me while we talk.A BT earpiece works fine in the ear with it. Who needs an iPhone?
