This will probably never happen, but what I want is: 1) only two personal devices (Apple Watch and small iPhone) that both contain my digital life, use biometrics to securely identify me, etc. 2) larger "environmental" devices from many manufacturers like wall displays, beautiful furniture that has magically appearing keyboards, mice as needed, perfect car integration, etc.
The large environmental devices would be 100% securely sharable and be in private homes, hotels, offices, metro stations, etc. With either my Watch or iPhone, no matter where I am, if I need to, I would have my work life, entertainment life, etc. at my fingertips.
iPadOS 16 beta has StageManager that is sort-of OK for providing a more general desktop environment. I would expect my Watch or iPhone to trigger whatever I need in my environment.
I get so tired of being "sys admin" for my digital devices. I want to spend as close to zero time doing this as possible. Similarly, my Dad is having his 101 year old birthday next month and although he has always been very good with computers, it is frustrating trying to help him remotely. So:
In addition to what I mentioned above, I would like to have VR/AR for quick telepresence to help him and other family members who might be 100s of miles away physically.
