I love my AirPods Pro, but Apple has ruined the ANC with firmware updates. I had Pro 1st gen and both Pro 2 Lightning and usb-c. All three were amazing until they received new updates! The ANC is noticeably worse! I just want Apple to let us choose when to update our own devices, just like with iPhones! Let us regulate the ANC levels!
Perhaps the biggest thing on the software front is to see what Apple does with Pixelmator Pro. This was their first major creative software purchase in a very very long time.
I’d like to see a chip upgrade in the Apple TV. An A17 Pro at the minimum. Giving it hardware accelerated raytracing for Apple Arcade (is that still a thing? I haven’t heard anything about it in ages!) and support for Apple Intelligence too.
Do you have any starter questions for me? Also, have you checked out my HomeKit Insider podcast? I talk a lot about Matter on there. The short version is Matter is a new standard that allows devices to get certified once and work with all the major smart home platforms. So if you have a lock that gets Matter-certified, it will work with Apple Home, Samsung SmartThings, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home out of the box. The idea is that it will make it easier for devices to come to market. It also means they'll have similar features across the different platforms, hopefully spurring adoption. For Apple users, there are a couple benefits. First, there are more devices coming to Apple Home. Appliances (washer, dryer, dishwasher, fridge, stove), EV chargers and batteries, robotic vacuums and mops, routers and access points, rain sensor, water pumps, water heaters, and more. Apple had none of these in HomeKit, so going through Matter will be the way to make these usable in Apple Home, same as any HomeKit device. The second benefit is if you live in a house with multiple ecosystems. You can have an amazon alexa speaker and control your lights that also work in Apple Home. If you have someone who has an Android phone, they can also similarly control the smart devices. We already see benefits like the Nest products adding Matter support and working in Apple Home for the first time.
If this is a sincere question and not just a knock on the slow roll out of features... I'd be happy to answer! Basically, it's Apple's AI effort. Yes, that includes "opening ChatGPT" but Siri will also be intimately familiar with you and will be able to do much more starting with that 18.4 update I mentioned in the video. It will know things your friends and family said and answer those questions. "When is my nephews school play?" then follow up with "Ok, great. Can you get me directions to that?" Then you have writing tools to rewrite text, proofread text, and change the tone. You have notification summaries that are shortened and give you descriptions of what the message says so you know if you need to look that second or not. You have image editing using AI to intelligently fill areas when removing people, cars, or other objects. In Notes, it will transcribe an entire recording (or phone call) and give you a short summary and bullet points of those recordings. Great for school or meetings! Finally, the last big one out now is improved AI-powered responses for email and texts in the keyboard.
I would like to see Apple market the Mac (Mac OS) with more vigor in 2025. iPhone and iPad sales are likely plateauing but with only 10-12% of the worldwide PC market, Apple has room to grow there. AAA gaming along with a solid (and NON-subscription) a version of a Pro-level Creative "suite" and other related apps will help in that process. I'd also like to see Apple advertisements and social media posts point users to Apple's site...populated with plenty of easy to follow video tutorials on how to integrate your devices in the Apple Ecosystem. Pose a "situation" and demonstrate a solution ...at different "price points" and use cases . Apple sure can make some beautiful videos......
Screens in cars including CarPlay have proven to be dangerously distracting. Real irresponsible for Apple to be selling it and you for promoting it. Do better.
Apple’s naming of products s very, very confusing. Hope they change everything to so it includes the year of launch. iPhone 25, A25, iMac 25 and so on.
A new Apple TV 4K with HDMI 2.1 would be nice
Please do a deep dive on all the smart home plans and security.
Ok fine! You've convinced me!
Apple is doing evolutionary things not revolutionary
Okay, everyone knows that. Tech companies have hit the ceiling.
Is there any mainstream company which does revolutionary things?

Very excited for it!
i need the 32inch imac
I will love a Apple Home video
I’m excited about the potential smart display
Same! If uh... you couldnt tell.
Thank you so much for the information! Your videos are always top notch! 🍓🌺
I love your channel, so here is some love for the algo 👍💚
so the HomeOS portable panel will be like the Google Nest Hub, got it.
Oh 100%. Others have been doing these but Apple wants to do it best.
What about an actual update of the AirPods Max, maybe to W2 chipset and improved ANC?? 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
I don't think next year. Rumor says no update is in development right now
5:02 Give us the Video 🙌
You showed an Apple intelligence icon. Is this available to download ? Thanks
bloody apple; we are still waiting for apple intelligence here in Australia. Hopeless.
Thanks!
32 inch spacegrey or space black imac.... please...
All these seasons you mentioned mate, are backwards! Best to use month names so as to not exclude the entire southern hemisphere.

I just don’t see the point to the Apple TV. What does it do that any other Apple device doesn’t do already?
Very interesting and informative video! Thank you for your hard work! 👅💋
Waiting for the iPad Pro 25 in 2025
sure like to see a video on Matter…I do not have a clue how to use this technology? Keep your videos coming I look for ward them…thank you

Was there any evidence and sources specified for any of this?
What exactly is Apple intelligence? The ability for Siri to open up ChatGPT? Or Google an image in your camera app?

Smart display is a stupid idea. Literally could use an iPad for all those purposes.
First? Or not?
Some updates to the monitors would be nice
