“Tech journalists don’t often have to battle our way across hostile terrain in sub-zero temperatures, fight crocodiles with our bare hands or abseil from helicopters to rescue hostages (though that remains my cover story for the time I broke my elbow by tripping up in an airport),” Ben Lovejoy writes for 9to5Mac. “We do, however, occasionally do something almost as dangerous: make predictions about the tech future, knowing full well that our words remain forever archived on the web for people to dust off a year from now and gleefully point out just how wrong we were.”
“This is never more risky than in the case of Apple, a company notoriously secretive about its activities, and where there are way more false rumors than reliable ones,” Lovejoy writes. “But hey, what’s life without a little adventure? So here are my predictions on what I think we can expect from Apple next year.”
