Apple to add polish, not product lines, in 2016

From CNET: Apple spent 2015 catapulting new toys and services at consumers. Next year will be all about refining its aim.

The Cupertino, California, company wants to touch every aspect of your life, whether on the go with the iPhone 6S or Apple Watch, at your office with an iPad Pro or MacBook, or in your living room with an Apple TV. These devices increasingly work together as a team designed to keep you locked into Apple's universe.

You won't see nearly as many new products in 2016. Instead, look for Apple to bolster its lineup with subtle improvements. The exception, of course, is the iPhone, which will get an overhaul next year if Apple sticks to its nearly decade-old pattern.

Updates to Apple's Mac line are also expected. The company introduced its thin and light MacBook in 2015, but didn't make any major changes in its other laptops. The MacBook Air, previously Apple's slimmest computer, lacks a high-resolution Retina display and hasn't had any big alterations in years.
