7 Things Apple Must Do in 2013


4. Open Up iCloud

This might sound blasphemous for a company with a laser-like focus on integrating hardware and software, but it's time that Apple opened up iCloud. I can get Google Drive and SkyDrive on an iPhone, so why can't I get iCloud on Windows or Android devices?

On my Mac, I use OpenOffice instead of Pages for working with files. And I use Dropbox instead of iCloud for saving them so I can more easily access them on my Windows 7 work PC. Dropbox also lets you automatically upload photos to the cloud and access them on any device. With iCloud, your pics pretty much stay trapped on your Apple device. The whole point of the cloud is to make your files accessible anywhere, on any device. In 2013, the “i” in iCloud should stand for the individual and not Apple's iDevices.

    My suggestion is never use any conjugation “swag” ever.

    If Apple never tries to appease the mass market is just fine for me. Sure bring out the useful/cool features but stay true to your core Apple.

  3. Ray Says:

    Apple must make editing and transferring photos more flexible and open up the iOS a little

  4. Thomas Geis Says:

    Apple needs to push their macs into large companies more.

  5. Michael Says:

    “Plus, Apple has the best-selling laptop in the United States with the $1,199 MacBook Pro.”

    Are you really trying to tell me that a $1200 MacBook Pro is outselling a $400 HP Pavilion?

    You forgot one of the most important things Apple has to do in 2013:
    Bring a serious upgrade of the Mac Pro
