My frustration with Apple and their hardware is the update cycle and prices. I want a new Mac Mini and mine is struggling right now, so I'll get that immediately. But, my late 2012 iMac is going ok. Sure, it's showing its age, but I can wait another year before I drop two grand on it. However, if an update comes out this year, there probably won't be an update next year, and it's not like prices are going to drop so why should I wait? I know it's kind of always been that "buy now because there's no point in waiting" line of thinking, but with the huge gaps between updates, I just feel personally for my spending habits, it's getting worse.
I use an iPad Pro 9.7 with the smart keyboard and I like it. It's relatively thin and I don't have major problems with the keyboard like some do. All I wish iOS, and Apple TV as well, is that I could run more emulators on it through Xcode signing other than Provenance. ScummVM works great on everything other than iOS because no one wants to develop for it, and it's a bummer.
As for Siri/Alexa stuff, whenever I'm at a friend's house and have to use the voice commands to do a bunch of stuff, I hate it. I'd rather Apple keep taking their time or not let it do stuff it's really going to struggle to do. Shortcuts sound awesome, and, I hope I can do with it what I envision myself doing. I know people always say Siri sucks, but like Apple Maps, I've never really had problems with it (granted, I use dictation, reading/writing texts, and calendar/reminder stuff, so I'm probably not pushing it a lot, but I do use it daily multiple times. It understands me darn perfectly).
This year will be expensive for me. New iPad, maybe new phone, maybe new watch, Mac Mini (might max it out, too, depending on how it compares to my iMac, and maybe I'll just give up on the iMac line because I don't really need a 4K display), smart cover, and depending on how life works out this year, I might need a notebook of some sorts.
