hmmm... no soundbar?

I was really hoping for a soundbar too. A soundbar with FaceTime cameras seems like a slam dunk no brainer for Apple. Why the hell are they sitting on their hands with this?? 

What's the use case for this? I've seen this request a few times on the forums but don't really understand how people plan on using this. I definitely must not be the intended audience.

I guess next we’ll see signs from the manufacturer in Walmart saying you can get a better deal for this item at Target. 

This has always been my biggest frustration about Epic's claim with the App Store. Every retail location does this same thing. How you can force Apple to allow other payment options, when stores like Walmart are doing the exact same thing?

So there is really no reason why macOS couldn’t be installed on the IPP.
i see SuperOS emerging.   IPadPro with the new Keyboard for theIMac running macOS would be great.  They just to put 16 GB ram in this with a big SSD.  

Edit: and external monitor.

They already could have done this. iPadOS/iOS is based on OS X. They chose not to due to form factor and use case. They affirm it every year. 

People like you also used to say they’d never make a bigger iPhone over the iPhone 4, or a notch, or a camera bump or so on and so forth. Apple WILL merge the OS’s one day. How and when are still up in the air. 

I would absolutely love a single, high-powered iPad Pro that I could put in a dock that includes additional cooling (and maybe some existing processing?) that connects to a monitor when I need the space. Would use more for a MacOS UI. When you pull it out to use as a tablet it uses the iPadOS UI. Even better yet if they could fit it into an iPhone.

Feels like this is maybe 4-6 years away at the earliest. Apple would have to make sure that it doesn't completely cannibalize all their Mac sales. I think they'd need to see some additional product lines launched (VR / Apple Glass, Apple Car) and pulling in decent revenue before they could actually make this transition.

Mock me if you will, I’m a launch day adopter here. Wallet. Keys. iPad and maybe glasses!  Lol!

Not sure why you’d need for an iPad? 

He's just a worrier I guess. That's probably why his friends call him 'Whiskers'.

Hate the remote.

Came here to say exactly that. It reminds me of the old remotes before they used a touch pad. I dread “click, click, clicking” around m the screen rather than just a swipe which can get me to the other side of the screen in a single gesture. 

Thought I was the only one who liked and understood what the touch remote accomplished. 

In the presentation they specifically mentioned that the directional pad is also touch sensitive and allows for swipes to quickly scroll across a number of items.
