    Let me guess:


    - Apple television


    - Apple wallet / NFC technology


    - Siri upgrades


    - Mapping technology upgrades


    - OS 11


    - MacBook Air transition to ARM


    - All of the above


     


    I'm thinking "All of the above."  image



     


    And a "Few" others we are not thinking about, but I am certain that Apple will lead the way with innovative products.

    Hm, - if they did it would be a drop in the bucket. This is something much bigger, and I am sure involves several products.

    ...You can basically toss Munster, Wu, and Huberty's analyses into the circular file because they have a PROVEN TRACK RECORD OF BEING WRONG.

    cvaldes1831, is right. AppleInsider providing a platform for nearly always WRONG analysts is a disservice. Stop posting BS that helps these salesmen.

    You're right.  The question is, can he argue his point without the obnoxious font upsizing and profuse use of caps lock?

    I think so, even if you are being sarcastic. At least I hope they are. Wearable 3D screens will be the biggest thing ever. I mean EVER.

    VY Canis Majoris takes offense to that statement.


     


    The Sloan Great Wall takes offense to VY Canis Majoris taking offense to that statement.


     


    The Higgs boson would take offense to that, but he decided to let the idiots argue about size, despite the conversation referring to importance… and he's too busy playing Where's Waldo with the world, anyway.

    You make a good point also, but I will admit to laughing out loud at his post which exactly mirrored my fury over the unchallenged platform given to these shyster analysts by AppleInsider. For that, I tip my hat.

    Okay, then, I'll go back to my earlier favorite formulation: The biggest thing since the portable printed book.

    But that's going to rile up Mel Gross, or Marvin, I forget which who hates that comparison.

    I don't mind comparisons so that'll narrow your list down. :D

    I agree that wearable screens could take off as they would allow a phone to display any size of content e.g you could sit on a plane with your phone in your pocket and put on the glasses and have a 30" screen appear in front of you. They could have special gloves or just fancy tracking that superimposed your hands onto the projected content so you could interact with it.

    As long as the battery made them light enough and the virtual screen wasn't semi-transparent. I'd also say they'd have to counter the head movement to keep the content stationary.
