I would love to see @markgurman response to [@gruber](https://micro.blog/gruber) comments. But, I don’t really count on it because it never happens. Somehow, I think next year’s products are more impacted than this year. [daringfireball.net]

Death is an everyday subject these days. How is Apple helping people in dealing with people's death? For example, what happens to Apple's Family Sharing if the family organizer passed away? If you use iTunes Family Sharing, special attention must be paid to the « Family Organizer » role. If he or she dies, there is no way to give this role to another member of the iTunes Family. Have you ever wondered what happens if you want to close an Apple ID account of a diseased person? What if you don't even know how to access it?
Searching for the word « death » on Apple’s support site doesn’t bring any information related to tackling the death of someone. Apple's support to help users deal with death is abysmal.

One of the thing that will get my attention about Apple in the coming months and years: how the coronavirus will impact features and designs of Apple’s products, both in hardware and software.
The obvious example is the FaceTime camera on Mac computers. The second obvious example is FaceTime application in general, not to compete against Zoom or others, but to make it more useful and bringing more value to human visual communications.
The Magic Keyboard makes us want more from iPadOS: real and complete external monitor support.
Magic Keyboard: Apple’s Laptop Conversion Kit – His Dork Materials:
I remember arguing with a guy on supporting flash challenges like transposing « hovering » events with the mouse pointer. How on earth someone could « hover » with their fingers on the screen for content to change accordingly? That wasn’t possible obviously.
Now, look at the iPad with the just introduced pointer support. It’s exactly that, hovering on buttons make the pointer morph into the button’s shape. Fascinating.

You know what I'd like to see from Apple? An update to their aging iBooks Author application on macOS. This is what I'd like to see. Last update was in 2018.... come on.
