Last week we asked you to predict Apple‘s next game-changing innovation. We wanted you to think big, but also to be realistic. It’s highly unlikely, no matter how much we all wish for it, that the iHover is anywhere near done.
With iOS, the iPod, iPhone and iPad, Apple has innovated in ways that changed not simply its company, but its entire industry. We wanted you to envision what might come next.

The results are in, and it’s clear that many of you are thinking along the same lines. You believe Apple’s next big innovation will be in television. The next most popular prediction involved Apple changing the face of the automobile industry. Other responses included video game consoles, cameras and watches.
But no response stuck out quite like Steve Shatkin‘s, who envisioned an entire home entertainment system that runs iOS.

We appreciated his thorough vision, but also the realistic nature of his prediction. Tim Cook would do well to give Steve a call if he’s in need of some product advice. For his response, Steve will win a $500 Apple gift card and a Belkin prize pack.
He’s our third winner, but we still have two more gift card/prize pack combos to give away. Today, we ask you to share your best personal Apple story. It could be the way an Apple device changed your life, or it could be a fantastic and unique customer service experience. We’re guessing if you love Apple, you’ve got a good story to tell.
