The trashcan Mac Pro was dead in the water when it came out. I said it also (not in this forum). Not because it was round, not because it had no internal expansion, not because of many things, but simply because of size. It was just too small and because it was too small, it limited whatever could be added inside it later. Simple physics. If Apple simply made the thing 50% taller and 20% wider, it could have fit more standard size things inside of it, instead of customer, overly expensive items.

Apple needs to stop being so cheap and put 2 ports on their charger, one USB-C for power delivery for their laptops and at least one USB-A for other things. That would have stopped so many people complaining. Sure they still cannot connect their iPhone to their MBP, but at least it can get power.

Also, stop including a 5W power brick for their latest iPhones. Apple, the absolutely cheapest manufacturer out there and getting worse. $50 premium if you want a keyboard with a number pad. Absolutely ridiculous. Desktop keyboard without a number pad, is really sad, even if you aren't an excel person. Paying a premium may be ok (not really), but $50 premium is too much. Same goes for their SSD upgrade costs (even with the discount as many of the tiers have the same pricing), and the price premium to upgrade from 16GB to 64GB in their iPhones (what, no 32GB option?). Really cheap.

I don't game much at all. The last game I really played was AoE 2, but I want Apple to really have a Mac that supports gaming. I'm tired of integrated graphics and no Nvidia support. Apple, during Macworld, used to demo games and how well they run on their Macs. Not for a long time. Only time this happens is with their iOS demos. Would be nice to place the latest and greatest NVIDIA or AMD GPUs in an upgradable Mac without a hiccup. Yes, this is solely Apple's fault. They could play nicer with other people.

I like how the processing is done on the machine itself, not uploaded to the cloud. Hopefully, Siri is done this way so simple, basic tasks like setting the alarm DOES NOT need to have a full internet connection.

Sounds very nice and would be widely used. I find that this method of payment, partially due to its wide acceptance and very ease of use, is even better than using Apple Pay. One beep and you are done. Hope it is done soon.

Personally, I don't care about connect SD cards to shy devices, although I know others will care a lot. I am very much a fan of the revamped Files app which will allow for a lot more capabilities.
