Tech reviewer Marques Brownlee presented a list of 10 [1] hypothetical Apple products he wants the company to create in a video posted Thursday.
The suggestions highlight perceived gaps in Apple's current hardware ecosystem. By identifying these missing products, Brownlee said that Apple could drive further innovation and expand its market reach [2].
Brownlee's list includes a variety of devices that do not currently exist in the company's catalog. One of his primary requests focuses on the gaming market. "I’d love to see Apple finally make a true gaming laptop," Brownlee said [2].
He also addressed the current state of spatial computing. While Apple has released the Vision Pro, Brownlee said there is room for a different approach to the hardware. "A dedicated AR/VR headset that’s not just a Pro version of Vision Pro would be amazing," Brownlee said [2].
Throughout the video, Brownlee explained the reasoning behind each of the 10 [1] items. He said that Apple's ability to integrate software and hardware could make these specific products more viable than competing third-party alternatives [2].
The video and subsequent reporting by 9to5Mac emphasize the influence of high-profile tech commentators on consumer expectations. Brownlee's analysis focuses on how Apple might leverage its existing brand loyalty to enter new product categories that are currently dominated by other manufacturers [2].
“"I’d love to see Apple finally make a true gaming laptop,"”
This commentary reflects a broader trend of 'feature gaps' in the Apple ecosystem where the company prioritizes high-margin, premium devices over niche markets like hardcore gaming. Brownlee's suggestions highlight the tension between Apple's curated product strategy and the demands of power users who seek specialized hardware.
