Surely this is an area where AI should be used. "Warning, this really looks like a scam because Bank Of America would never ask you for your PIN and "bank.ofamerica.bankdetails.com" is not their URL." Of course it would have to be more robust than the notification summaries are, but still.

A long shot, but bringing back optical audio output (which TV used to have) would be great for AirPlay directly to the stereo system without requiring a third-party HDMI audio extractor component. Not holding my breath, of course.

For me, the main problem with lack of optical is that you can't stream to the speakers attached to the TV without the TV being on. I just want to be able to stream music with the TV off. Even if it's not possible to tell the TV to sleep and keep the optical on, just make screen black, it would save loads of power on OLED TVs.

I don't know how new this is but the remote app on iOS (not really an app anymore, but still) lets you find the remote-ish. No direction but tells you how far you are from it.

Here’s a crazy thought: hire a few HUMANS to write the news summaries. Or, at least, proofread the AI summaries.

How quaint and old-fashioned I’ve become

Here's another one, headlines don't need to be summarised, they are already a summary of a bigger article.  Apple are putting AI to pointless tasks and fudging it right up.

I agree. You can't compress 3 or 4 headlines (which are often clickbatey) into a 3 line summary. It seems too that the AI doesn't look at the news article content either, so clickbait headlines don't get "fixed" to match the article content. Maybe that would be a better use of AI, apply it to Apple News articles and generate neutral headlines.

I would like to see Apple run their own MacWorld expo, no iPhones or iPads, just Macs. MacWorld events were super useful and I miss them. I'm sure there will be iPhone, iPad, Windows, Linux, and other products but they'll be related to the Mac.

They were really cool. Like a Mecca to Mac users, especially so when Mac users were pretty thin on the ground generally. Was great to find cool and unusual software and hardware, I still have a USB hub I bought at one of the London Mac Expos!
