2020, Apple releases the new Applebook Air, with an AX chip. Touch screen with a built in keyboard/trackpad. Apple pencil support. Basically an 2020 iPad Pro, but with Mac OS; or improved iPad OS. Small 256GB SSD (no options), 8-16GB RAM, Wireless charging, no IO ports, everything over the cloud or transferred via Airdrop. It's called Applebook Air, using the change to Ax chips to start transition away from the "Macintosh" branding for the OS and computers. Computers in the future, with Intel chips will retain the old branding, but as time goes on, say 2025, it's all over.
iMac redesign. I don't see many ways to change the shape, but bring back colours and matte finishes, the brushed aluminum look is really getting old. It's like shopping for appliances, I'm sick of stainless steal appliances for the same reason.
