To my eyes they went through a really flat period over the past 4 years ago pretty much removing ever-more ports, functionality and serviceability from Intel PCs in Apple boxes. Dumping Intel and bringing ARM-based CPU design in-house really is a game changer, plus it appears they have recognised some errors. Apple are now back being their own very distinct and unique thing, as they were for most of the company’s history right from the Apple I & II. I suspect in hindsight the Intel phase will be looked at as a rather lazy style over function period.
My main hope is they continue to expand and improve iOS/iPadOS as desktops and even laptops look very old fashioned to me now. It annoys me that I still need one because of OS limitations. The hardware is more than capable. That and either accepting, or being forced to accept Right To Repair. That is the next big hurdle. Given how astonishingly powerful modern computers are I’ll like to see a mandated 15 year service lifespan with full software/security support, affordable parts and schematics as a requirement of sale. If we are taking climate change seriously we absolutely have to get away from the disposable culture of IT.
