Why?
I hope they sell the wireless case separately, and add a gesture to the current airpods for volume control.They've already talked about this being a stability year though, so we shouldn't be expecting lots of fancy new features
I'd like to see the AirPods refreshed with the wireless case and AirPower finally, and surely MBP refreshes are inevitable even if just a CPU bump - and although cpu bumps can often be silent store updates I would expect Apple to spend some time talking about the performance because it is such a big jump over previous models
Aside from that I'm not expecting much. iPads feel too soon to refresh
I've had this enabled since it debuted, but I had no idea there were measures to protect it from accidental inputs. Everyone should probably use this.

"Among those who don't, the most common response, by far, is that they don't use it because they're the parents of young children, and they fear that their kids will trigger the erasure of their phone.

I'm assuming the iCloud backup is not deleted and can then be used to restore the phone?I've had this enabled since it debuted, but I had no idea there were measures to protect it from accidental inputs. Everyone should probably use this.

Wow, same here.Apple should probably explain this better, I'm part of the group that was scared to enable it out of the fear my 15 month old nephew would accidentally erase my stuff (got the 15 minute lockout once). But it seems like there's ample protection to prevent that kind of scenario from occurring. Gonna turn it on now that I know it's safe, thanks.
Selling my SE, buying a laptop after my PC sells, and get either the se2 or whatever comes out in sept. So maybe $1000 total after everything. I might not even get the laptop and just do everything through a new phoneI kind of thought about the next year in Apple for me.
I'm going to probably need a new Mac Mini, if they ever update them. That's 700 bucks.
My iPad is failing thanks to the strange bend that happened in my bag through no fault of my own. That's another 700 bucks (not counting cases or keyboard, another 100 easily).
I did get a brand new iPhone 6S+ a few weeks ago because the Apple store broke my old one, but it's still getting old in the tooth. I could maybe punt another year, but I really don't want to. That's like... a 1000 bucks.
And my iMac is getting old. I don't need to update it, but it is going to be more than 5 years old come December. That would be... well, I could go ludicrous and get a Pro.
Not counting maybe AirPods 2 (not this year, but next, let's be real). and I'm pushing three grand. (thankfully I have no reason as of yet to upgrade my Apple Watch)
What's the next year of Apple looking like for you?
Plenty of people still have iPhones and iPads with lightning. I am still on a 6 plus. That would be a terrible idea.IMO: kill the Lightning port on the iPhone, move entirely to wireless charging and accessories, and change the iPad to USB-C.
That seems like the correct and inevitable path forward for both product lines.
That's my main concern about a port-less device. Clearly they will have some secret support port like the Apple Watch but I really don't like the prospect of not being able to restore the phone at home. I'm always half-anxious when updating my Watch and Apple TV already. Not something that's no big deal around here where you have a two hour drive to the next Apple Store.There are too many use cases for having one port for them to just get rid of all ports IMHO.
Data transfer is much better with a port.
External battery packs require a port.
Charging in the car, on a train, etc, would be largely impossible without a port.
Hooking up high def audio headphones not possible without a port.
If your install hangs, or your device dies, then how do you reinstall without a port?
Hooking up to a HDMI projector for a presentation requires a port to be reliable.
We need at least one port.

MBP 13 non touchbar. Upgraded to 16GB ram and 512SSD but otherwise the basic one. Nothing big running - as I'm typing this in chrome the CPU is about 10% for the whole system, and the temp is reported at 54c. Its not uncomfortable but thats pretty much idling the CPU. and its a pretty humid day which maybe doesn't help

lol maybe so.
extremely few people plug their iphones in for syncing anymore. music, movies, photos, contacts, etc. all sync over the cloud now for most people.
you can plug a wireless charger into an external battery. i would not be surprised to see wireless charging batteries you can basically strap your phone to for in-backpack sort of charging. i imagine it would also be possible to basically make a phone case that you can plug in and doubles as a wireless charger if you really need wired charging
see above
apple has already decided the future of iphone audio is wireless, they do not care about this
i imagine they could implement over-the-air internet recovery as macs already have
plugging your phone into a projector for a presentation seems like a rather niche use case - people are still mostly making presentations on larger devices
i am not necessarily saying that *i* see things things way, just that i think apple sees things this way
