There are soooo many things I can think of that Apple could do to 'innovate'. Maybe they should pay me to tell them some :/

- zimpenfish 10y agoBut how many of them would only apply to a small number of geeks; add manufacturing complexity; add manufacturing cost; add manufacturing unreliability; require software support; etc.? I too can think of many things I think Apple should do but I realise they wouldn't be cost effective over millions of users.
- spott 10y agoI'm genuinely curious: what could they do to improve the laptop? I've been trying to think of things that are a) hardware based (OS X is another beast), b) doable with todays technology, and c) actually fix some problem that I have with my computer, or introduce some new paradigm of working with my computer that will improve my interaction with it. The only things that I can think of fail (a) or (b). edit: or fail to be useful to people who aren't power users like me.
- spronkey 10y agoWell, the obvious one is to move back to upgradable hardware. Why they feel the need to keep reinventing M.2 I don't know. Even for non power-users, an extra year or two out of your machine, or the remote chance to get your data back if e.g. logic board dies is definitely handy. A few other reasonably obvious things I can think of are the ability to run iOS apps in OS X, potentially even move an iOS app to OS X (there would be a hardware component involved here I would assume), pen input on the display or trackpad, quad core CPUs in the 13" model.
