I don’t know about you, but if the leaks are accurate and there’s nothing more to this 2019 Keynote, we’re in for a pretty dull time.
Here’s what Apple supposedly has in store according to the rumors:
- an iPhone with a hideous camera bump that’s taken a design beating from the competition
- an iPhone XR with the bare minimum to sell it at full price
- reverse wireless charging that’ll drain your iPhone battery even faster
- a connected device to find your keys 🔑 — this one I want to see, because depending on how they implement it, it could actually be quite useful
Personally, I’m waiting for the successor to the adorable iPhone 5SE — basically an Apple phone that does the minimum without frills. A simple phone that doesn’t try to be a camera and stays at a friendly price (around €400).
The kind of phone that’s repairable with reasonably priced parts — because when you see the cost of parts and insurance for the latest models, it’s completely absurd.
Then I’d love a fully autonomous Apple Watch that doesn’t need an iPhone at all. Just ditch the phone — only a watch and AirPods. Yes, that would genuinely be the ideal setup in my opinion.
And stable operating systems from day one, because it’s tiresome waiting 6 months before the big bugs are ironed out. I know, I’m crazy: I keep my personal data on iCloud and Apple Notes. I have all my RAW photos on iCloud too, so with every OS update I hold my breath hoping everything stays in place.
I don’t know about you, but the Microsoft Keynote on their supposedly dual-screen Surface devices has me genuinely more excited than Apple’s — and yet I could never get used to Windows.
