Action item

Given the broad consensus, suggesting we fast-track the development of these two.

iRegret Simulator

Insight

Nobody likes regret, yet it's a feeling many encounter frequently. With iRegret Simulator, users could avoid the pesky feeling by testing out popular regret-inducing decisions - like getting bangs or a new tattoo - before making them in real life.

Features

An Apple Intelligence-assisted, front-facing camera would allow users to take a selfie and experiment with different hairstyles or colors.

A tattoo simulator mode would let users experiment with a wide range of tattoo placements and designs.

Easy sharing options would enable secure distribution of iRegret images with trusted contacts for feedback and advice. Polling would provide tangible analytics to help users make educated decisions.

NapTime

New FaceTime features for the people who fall asleep on FaceTime calls

NapTime would check in on the user's sleeping baby or child through a video call. Other options would include the ability for a user to leave an automatic video message of themselves napping when they don't answer a FaceTime call.

Culinary Integration: Colander

A calendar for cooks

Proposal

This product would be a new version of Calendar that caters to anyone who loves to cook. Users could share menus, recipes, or grocery lists and schedule meals for the week. They could also set reminders to avoid forgetting crucial ingredients or steps.

⭐Favorite Concepts⭐

Find my Inner Child

A proposed feature to help users reconnect with their childhood self

[?] We're working on a therapeutic new feature to help users get back in touch with their childhood self. Rooted in Find My and powered by Apple Intelligence, this feature would leverage achievements in metapsychical tracking and the latest breakthroughs in reparenting to help identify and activate a user's playfulness.

Photo Booth Aura Photos

A celestial proposal to integrate aura photography into macOS

Aura Photos would be a new feature on Photo Booth that cosmically personalizes portraits on macOS. Using a mood-ring exposure process lighting the subject's aura, Photo Booth would provide users with the trippy, kaleidoscopic results they enjoy from traditional, analog aura photographs.

✨New✨ Feature Ideas: Conscious Processing

Continue to accelerate memory consolidation and mental reflection features. Focus on feelings resolution, imagination engagement, and sleep states. Emphasize new or recent experiences.

Dream Journal

A place for users to track their dreams before they forget them!

Proposal

[?] Journal already helps users reflect on their daily lives, but what about everything that happens while they sleep? It's easy to forget dreams after waking, but with Dream Journal, users would be able to log the curious and sometimes confusing things that individuals experience at night. They could capture and document the details of the most mundane to mystifying of dreams with photos, videos, audio recordings, and hand-drawn illustrations. This could benefit from real-time analysis with features that offer insights about the potential meanings of each dream.

Fresh Features

Illustrating Dreams

[?] Users could illustrate Dream Journal entries with a custom sketch tool. They could turn their sketches into a dream in a matter of seconds.

Soundtracking Dreams

[?] If a melody would better capture a user's dream, they could tap the Music option and get custom song links to help bring their dreams to life.

Intergalactic Clipboard

The Universal Clipboard is ready to expand beyond the universe into the galaxy.

With Intergalactic Clipboard, users could copy and paste anything they see, hear, smell, taste, or touch from one Apple device to another.

Integration with Camera, Voice Memos, and Touch ID would make this multisensory, interstellar experience possible.

Best of all, Intergalactic Clipboard would be available at any altitude and on any spiritual plane.

Emotional Time Machine

Time Machine keeps users covered with their most important files. Why not help them back up and restore their emotions, too?

Users could connect external storage to their devices and back up memes, Voice Memos, and Journal entries. Emotional Time Machine would use Apple Intelligence to organize these files by time of year and mood.

Experiential Exchange

Picture in Picture in Picture

How many users really open only two tabs at once? It's time to pump up the productivity with this proposed feature update, Picture in Picture in Picture, which would allow video or FaceTime use with multiple other apps or Safari windows. The window curation feature would allow windows to scale down, moving them to any corner of the screen as needed.

Scratch-and-Sniff Stickers

A proposal to make Messages more sensory and immersive

Scratch-and-Sniff Stickers would evoke emotion, memory, and excitement thanks to new features that would help users link fragrances with their favorites emoji.

*Would be good to have another discussion about sensory and observational resonance.

Live Pet Translation

Speak raccoon, live the adventure.

We're bringing Live Pet Translation to the Translate app, beginning with support for the animal we all most yearn to understand: raccoons.

Whether you're seeking a deeper sense of connection to the raccoons you adopted after a basement invasion, or you just want to know what's running through the minds of the chaos critters digging through your garbage bins, Live Pet Translation with raccoon support will open the door to mutual understanding - or at least a little mutual mischief.

Translate has changed the way people communicate by quickly and easily translating text, images, and live conversations. Now it's time to bridge the gap across species. The next time a raccoon looks at you demanding to know why their cotton candy disappears in water, or whether the drive-thru will be serving curly fries tonight, you'll be ready - with Translate.
