What will be Apple's 'Next Big Thing' in software? (alien.top)

I often hear rants in Apple communities that each year Apple is failing to 'innovate' in the software space with their annual MacOS / IOS / everything elseOS updates, and that phrases such as 'Peak Smartphone' are consistently thrown around online.

My question is this - what change or development are people really expecting with each subsequent software cycle? For all the posts about how Apple "isn't doing enough" each year, there's 2-3x that amount complaining that updates are causing too many bugs and lamenting the "lack of polish".

Generative AI is being thrown around as the next big leap in consumer electronics, but outside of a vastly-improved Siri I'm at a loss as to what it is exactly consumers are wanting in this space.

Why is it on Apple to revolutionize battery technology? They are not a battery company. If someone can actually come up with a battery that lasts 5 times longer than what’s currently possible, we’re looking at EV with 1500 mile range. We’re looking at real chances of reversing climate change.

It would have global implications across all industries, political lines, and change human trajectories. I don’t think it is fair to put such a responsibility on Apple, when the brightest minds all across the world are not able to figure out (yet).
