  I'm curious to see what features the next iPhone comes with -- if it's limited to things like screen refresh rates and 'better' 5G (with Qualcomm's X60) it won't be a super compelling update to people with iPhone 12s, but would be huge for anyone with an 11 or prior. I hope it's not just stuff like a better camera for taking pictures of the sky and some 120Hz refresh rates.

  With the imminent (beginning of 2022) release of C-Band in the USA, anyone who upgrades every two years would benefit hugely from a phone that supports n77/n78 (as well as n48 when CBRS goes 5G). I wouldn't be surprised to see the Verizon CEO out there to talk about this, and a big push to get them in peoples' hands to alleviate network strain by having more phones capable of using more frequency.

  Beyond that, I have high hopes for a 13"/14" M1/M2 MBP refresh, which would instantly become my next personal laptop.

  With Apple's focus on Services revenue, I'm also quite curious to see what'll get launched this year.

  Anyone understands why this uses developer subdomain?

  While this is HN the event I guess is also for non-developer audience.
