I think we might see less of an emphasis on version numbers this year, rather than lots of marketing for iOS 9 it might simply be the updated iOS, or latest iOS. I think the way OS updates are distributed now, free and over the air, leads to this. I don't think many people really care about versions numbers, just knowing that their device is up to date is perfectly fine.

I think the marketing from now on will be iDevices with iOS, Watches with watch OS and Macs with OS X. All with free updates for the lifetime of the device.
 
The left-most banner looks the same as the watchIOS banner.. and the right-most banner may be the OS X.
But the centre one appears to have a lot of orange, so doesn't quite match the iOS banner.

I think if Apple is going to just introduce hundreds of new features and services and not have a release purely for bug fixes on both iOS and Mac, I really do think I'm done with apple.

I'm running a windows machine side-by-side and I got to admit, it's actually less buggy right now than Yosemite. And the non-rotating, crashing, cannot answer-calls, hot battery draining iphone is getting annoying. And my watch missing notifications that are nowhere to be found 30% of the time is also getting old as well.

I know I'm not the only one. I'm sort of the apple go to guy and I have never had so many requests with random issues from any apple products.

Does anyone else think Apple should focus on making things "just work" instead of introducing new crap?
 
If I never see or hear another Apple Watch-related commentary, article or anything related to it, I'll be a happier guy than I already am. It's time for everyone to stop blabbering on endlessly about how chuffed they are to have a meaningless, useless distraction engine strapped to their wrists, and allowed us to move sanely onward to ACTUAL USEFUL PRODUCTS... IE, anything Apple makes *APART* from that. Leo Laporte agrees, and he's not just any old body.

That's not the same thing as logging in with the password. Yes, that's true that many bank apps will use Touch ID to store your password but you have to give it the password first before Touch ID can be used.

Sorry, I'm not sure what your point is? Using TouchID is a significantly better workflow than having split screens and copying and pasting/ drag n drop from a password manager.
