What we want to see from Apple in 2015:

Joshua: An Apple Watch that actually fits my wrist (not everyone is size zero)

Joshua: iOS to support multiple user profiles, if Android and Amazon can do it: iOS should

Joshua: “Hey Siri” to work without having to be plugged in

Joshua: Remote support for iOS so families can help each other

Adam: Banishment of all iOS bugs
