- Cool new iPhone - new camera, better/bigger screen. Need a reason to upgrade from 6
- iOS improvements - simpler lock screen (iOS 10 really bungled it up), more intelligence, more customization (preference for maps, browsers, etc.)
- Photo management is appalling! All I want is a single place (cloud) where all of the family's photos will end up. Is that too much to ask???
- Free storage for backups. Do not make me pay $3/month - it's not cool
- Music in iOS automatically blares the first song in alphabetic order when I connect the phone to car's media interface. Mine happens to be "ABCs" from "Baby Loves Jazz" album. Super annoying! Can I choose some other behavior to be the default instead?
- iOS/Apple TV - need to support multi-user login. Why is Apple TV stuck with my kid as the only user???
- MacBook Pro 2016 is slow and expensive. TouchBar seems unnecessary. Meh... I want a better laptop to replace mine from 2014. Could it be a tablet? Perhaps...
- Continue freeing us from wires. Bluetooth earbuds - good (but VERY expensive). Wireless charging, please!
- Siri has a LONG way to go on accuracy of recognition for speakers with [HHHeavy Russian] accent
- Either miniaturize key Apple Watch components (heart rate monitor, Taptic engine, etc.) and stick them into rings/bracelets/third-party watches/phone/etc., or make a MUCH better-looking watch (like, making it round might be a good start).
- Where is Augmented (or mixed)/Virtual Reality?
- Home AI... Learn from Mark Zuckerberg's 2016 project. Need voice pickup/speaker/camera/WiFi/other sensors in each room + a bunch of AI-based features.
And while I am at this...
- Google - make Maps smarter. When I open the app in the morning, take a wild guess and offer "work" as the destination automatically, please (Apple's maps do that, but the navigation is - well, you know). Also, can you please add speed limit info?
- Wireless service providers - give up on data caps already. You know it's going to happen eventually - just do it already! Unlimited talk + unlimited data. Let's go!
- Amazon - make Prime Video app for Apple TV. Your app on my TiVo does nothing to enhance my enjoyment of The Grand Tour. Quite the opposite!
- Dunkin Donuts - please make your loyalty card available for Apple Pay. You promised this over a year ago. What gives?
- Everyone - can we ditch the passwords already? Pretty please? How about some biometrics instead? Fingerprints, iris scans, face recognition, voice recognition, whatever...
- Anyone - see the last bullet regarding home AI in my Apple wish list. Make a device in the shape of a light bulb that combines all these features. One for each room for easy retrofitting!
