MacBAir

It seems obvious. The camera modules and top speaker use a lot of volume. Previous components that were there needed to be put elsewhere. 3.5mm headphone jack is dead. Simple. 

Apple now has the 5 fastest phones on the market and they improved and are top notch on every aspect. I gave them shit, but now they deserve all the credit. Superior on almost everything. No explosions needed. 

Now to fix the broken and disgusting Mac line up with TN panels here, has well processors there, amd power hungry pigs, non-ssd options on macs costing thousands of dollars, non high PPI displays, etc. 

Also, jet black 18" slim, almost no bezel, MacBook pro with a 100 W SoC made by Apple

Modest upgrades...The upgrades on a whole seem fairly significant and comparable to previous releases. Maybe Apple should release the same phone with a different shell every year to wow and confuse the broader tech media

I'm thinking they should move to keeping the same shell for 3 years in a row now that the product has matured.

I think they should do what they do with all of their product designs. Settle for one and refine it year after year.

It's a great idea that brings a lot of personality to the product (see Porsche 911). I always prefer a refined product to a radical designed one.
Of course, those that associate new shapes with new phones are also the same audience that associates more cores and higher numbers to better. There's no problem in losing those users.

If they are airpods bundled, I am more interested if this will work with previous iPhone's.

I am guessing Apple will do something to make sure they don't, with the iPhone 7 looking like a small upgrade, I guess this will be one of the standout features, a new wireless headphone protocol that requires the iPhone 7, likely based on a lower energy version of Bluetooth.

If it is based on a special version of BT (like Airdrop and continuity needs 4.0 LE) it is hardware dependent and isn't something that Apple will try to make exclusive to the 7 on purpose.

Be reasonable. A much better camera with at least up to date camera hardware, slightly faster than the 6s and almost nothing more is more then good enough for a huge amount of iPhone 6 (and earlier) upgrades. People stopped upgrading yearly long ago. Some actually value their purchases and their money,

People upgrading from a 6 would notice a much better camera, hardware almost twice as fast, insanely better multitasking, minor hardware improvements (touch ID; possible waterproof, much better build quality) and so on. Also, 2 year contract yet.  

The iPhone is by far the fastest mobile device on any single metric, but putting 3GB of RAM is one of those moves equivalent to 16GB of onboard storage. I bet that the difference to 4GB chips is negligible, specially since they are by far the most used, nowadays. It will be just there to serve as an excuse for something, later on.

I really can't wait to see if they put competitive camera hardware, instead of keeping using by far the weakest camera hardware of any single high end mobile device. Their processing software and A-series chip deserves better. Actually, they deserve the best.

After that... What could be nicer?

Hmmm, useful features like waterproofing and a modern, high end, screen technology, like OLED, that is better on any single metric.

Heck, if they put the 6s with 64 GB of storage (minimum) and waterproof it, they would already have the best phone until this time, next year. Right? It wouldn't be an explosive release (   ), but it doesn't need to be, due to the state of things. Samsung is growing, but once users remember why they left and how terrible they and Android are on the ecosystem department (slow, lag, stutter, the usual issues with updates, etc.) they will implode, as usual. Meh.

Still excited for the new A-series ship. It's one of those things where Apple could make a "meh" announcement, or something truly profound.

But they have other issues to solve, like... WTF is the 6 series (not the 6s) doing at those prices? What about the mack and all of their known huge issues?

• TN Panels on the MBAir;
• Outdated CPUs and GPUs;
• non-ssd even on very expensive configurations;
• extremely small SSDs;
• etc.

Just clean house. Stop selling the 6 series, mac mini, any non-retina iMac, any non-ssd mac, the macbook air, all iPads besides the Pros and call the 9,7" just iPad, etc.

Social? Social is messaging apps + Facebook + YouTube. 

Apple already has their messaging platform, there's nothing more to do in social. 

But why not try it? It's just a app or a service. Why do must users treat things like this as if Apple is putting the company on the line? Wtf? 

Google + I'd dead. Twitter will soon die. So what? Those are big fails. But Apple cab try and Crack social for decades and decades. 

Why not? Anyway, anything social must be cross platform to take off. 

But you guys described a video editing app or some features that could be included on the stock camera app.
