Nooooooooo
While the current rumor has suggested the new MacBook Air models will launch in the third quarter of 2016, they could potentially be ready to debut earlier in the year. The last MacBook Air update was in March of 2015 and Apple may not want to wait more than a full year before introducing a refresh
I need three MBAs now, and I really expect an update on the screen, chip and RAM before I feel obliged to move to dark side equivalents that already have U series Skylake chips for some time, let alone better screens and more RAM. Apple is lucky their competitors have win 10, but only just lucky.

MBA form factor can stay the same, it's fine.

You know, I would rather the MacBook die before the MBA. The MacBook is too compromised. A very nice looking product crippled by chip, lack of ports and price. Oh, the price!

and a Broadwell-EP Mac Pro! and new Thunderbolt displays! and iPad Pro 2! :D
Yeah, I hope they do an iPad Pro 2. While the current one is very impressive in many respects, I have a feeling it will be looked back on a lot like the iPad 3, rather underpowered (a couple iOS generations later) and too bulky and heavy. A product that made a lot of compromises for cutting-edge technology and isn't yet refined.

Give me an iPad Pro at 1 pound where the stylus can attach to it somehow and I'm completely on board. Maybe the stylus needs to be a bit thinner to make that possible, but that stylus should absolutely live with the tablet IMO. One way to do that without re-designing the iPad itself would be to have the stylus live inside the keyboard case (imagine that case has a small fold/pocket where it meets the iPad that the stylus slips into securely).
 
I am surprised some people prefer smaller phones, but even in my circle of friends and family I've heard several people state exactly that. My wife, for one - she has said she doesn't want anything larger than her current iPhone 5 (I've got a 6 Plus, and another friend has a 6 - so she is familiar with the larger Apple phones). She's even gone as far as saying she'd be willing to try Android, if Apple doesn't offer a smaller device...
Hey im one of those too, im still using my old iphone 4S and i was thinking on getting a 5S before they take them out of the shelves until i read the rumor of the upcoming 6C so i will be holding to see if it comes as stated.

Metallic not plastic like the 5C, design as the 6/6s with 4" and i will get one the day they are announced :)

I bought a iPhone 6 for my wife and she loves it, but for me on my day to day its to big, the 4" is just the perfect size. And i have tested and reviewd Android Phones 5" and 5,5" and wow huge.
I love Android but as a phone i prefer IOS and the Apple Ecosystem so really hope that the 6C comes in a nice silver gray :)
Get your wallet ready to buy one for your wife hehe!!

On a side note: All my friends call me crazy and tell me i should get bigger and bigger phones but honestly i feel very comfortable with 4" and i dont mind at all paying the same price of a 6s for a well built iphone with 4" (The 5C was a failure in my opinion)

I don't really understand what value there is to adding a camera to the watch. I haven't ever found myself wanting or needing a camera.

Any ideas?
Personally I use Facetime a lot and would love to see this working on the watch. Even if it was just to quickly pick up a call and seamlessly roam to my phone, ipad or mac to continue the conversation.
 
GPS on Watch 2. If that doesn't happen I will not buy, CONSTANT issues with trying to start runs with my watch and phone together.
 
A camera could make the watch far less desirable... unless Apple figures out a way to not turn visible camera wearers into gl*ss-h*les, the same way Google did.

Google Glass was a completely different thing. First they were a style nightmare. Second, they could conceivably be recording video of whatever the wearer was looking at. The iPhone can already do this. So can some smart watches. The camera isn't likely to even be noticble in the watch design. And in order to use it, just like the phone, it will be quite obvious when someone unnaturally points an electronic device in another persons direction, especially the watch which will require some arm contortions to point the camera at something besides yourself. Perhaps Apple will even include a FaceTime activation light hard wired into the camera so it's obvious when it's on.

I really don't see the watch suffering the same reputation as the GG at all, with the benefits outweighing any potential negatives.

I think 2015 was anything but amazing especially from a hardware standpoint. Nothing but incremental changes (iPhone 6s) or new products looking to fill a niche market (iPad Pro).

I don't expect much improvement in 2016. Apple is in a funk and is stagnating.
The 6S is an amazing improvement over the previous model. The iPad Pro is an experiment. You also forget stuff like the new MacBook, which is absolutely amazing.
 
Is that the part below the big text that says:
What's Coming From Apple in 2016: Apple Watch 2, iPhone 6c, iPhone 7, Skylake MacBooks, and More
Jesus... give it a rest! This a a Mac rumors web site and if you read the article it is pretty obvious this is their opinion what is likely to happen next year. Are you seriously telling us you are confused by this??

Typo under Mac Mini saying it might refresh in early 2015.... you mean 2016.

Anyway, the Mac line needs some serious work this year. The Pro should be upgraded ASAP depending on processors available; it IS "pro". The mini is still the best value. And where is that new monitor???
 
No Mac Mini update?

Oops, just saw it. Possible upgrade in early 2016 I assume.
If it's a decent upgrade I'll buy one

Steve Jobs, a horrible human being who dumped his daughter, treated people like crap

The guy believed he could cure his own cancer because he was too arrogant.

Under Steve Jobs we would still be stuck in the past. I'm happy he is gone. Learn to deal with it

In 2016, I would like to see AAPL break out of that $134-$135 resistance and hit new all time highs.

$800B+ market cap, please.
 
In regards to the next gen of ipads, id like them to increase the standard 10 hours to maybe 12 to 14 hours, perhaps even make ios better for the ipad. I think battery should be a huge advancement for their ios products this year
