From a user perspective I think that any audio, music, or radio apps or websites like Play Music or Spotify should not have any video ads, only audio ads.

Rename Windows 10 S To Windows 10
I wonder if Microsoft should rename Windows 10 S in the future to just Windows 10, and Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Plus. Have Windows 10, Windows 10 Plus, and Windows 10 Pro.
Keep App Folders Consistent In Landscape
For consistency, I think the iPad app folders should only have 4 apps across in landscape mode too.
Folders With 16 Apps Was Much Better
At iOS 10 I still think that switching from folders with 16 apps and 4 columns to folders with 9 apps and 3 columns in iOS 7 was one of the worst UX and design decisions ever on iOS.
Limit Twitter Direct Messages To Fewer Characters
I like that Twitter now allows Direct Messages, but I wonder if a shorter limit would be better. I suggest limiting them to either 1000 or 1500 characters.
Allow iOS Settings To Sync
Apple should allow you to sync all iOS settings between two iOS devices, including the apps and their order on home screens.

I talk about how future phones and mobile devices could have flexible screens that wrap around the side, as well as a couple of the uses this design would have.

Focus On Products Instead Of Business
It seems like TechMeme used to have many more stories on products, services, and software instead of so many stories on businesses, people, and money.
iPod Form Versus Function
iPod 2G was designed for form, it feels like itβs made for your hand. iPod 5G was designed for function, it feels like a brick of metal.
Make Simpler Mac Mini
Maybe the next Mac Mini should be silent, fanless, smaller, and SSD only. Connections for power, headphone, 2-4 USB Type-C, and maybe even no Ethernet.
