Apple has a big secret that they don’t want you to know. Lots of brand new products are coming in just a matter of weeks that are gonna be way better and also way cheaper than Vision Pro, which has been stealing the spotlight for the last couple of weeks. In fact, we just got brand new info on the iPhone 15 lineup, new Macs, iPads, Apple Watches. So let me break down all the latest Apple news, rumors, leaks you need to know and tell you about the top five new products coming from Apple over the next couple of weeks and months. Things are about to get very exciting!
The event is officially over and the headset is finally real. Things have been very quiet in the Apple Universe lately. We’re all sort of just waiting for what’s coming next. The big question is, well, what exactly is coming next? We just got a bunch of new info from Mark Grumman over at Bloomberg, who is known for his connections and scoops. He just laid out a pretty good roadmap of Apple for the rest of 2023 and the early part of 2024.
The iPhone 15 Lineup
Let’s kick things off with what’ll likely be the biggest launch of 2023: the all-new iPhone 15 lineup. It’s been really interesting over the last couple of weeks to follow Apple rumors because we’ve gotten no new info basically on the iPhone 15, which could mean things are about to get really good or things are going to be really bad. There is a chance that Apple is really cracking down on those leaks. Maybe there are some amazing new features and surprises packed with the iPhone 15 that we won’t know about until the actual event. That’d be really amazing!
On the other hand, as exciting as that could be, it’s probably not the whole story. Based on Apple’s track record, the lack of news likely means there aren’t many groundbreaking updates for the iPhone 15 lineup. We know that Apple is switching to USB-C, removing the notch, introducing a dynamic Island for every model, and offering four models (two non-pros and two Pros) with some camera upgrades on the Pro versions. While there may be some software surprises, a revolutionary iPhone announcement is unlikely this year.
The Apple Watch Lineup
What is more mysterious and potentially cooler than the iPhone is the Apple Watch lineup for this year. According to Mark, we’re going to see at least two new Apple Watch models: Apple Watch Series 9 and a potential Apple Watch Ultra. The Series 9 will likely bring incremental improvements, while the Apple Watch Ultra might offer minor upgrades compared to its previous version. Blood glucose monitoring, micro OLED displays, and new processors are in the works but may not be included until 2024.
The iPad Updates
The iPad lineup hasn’t received much attention on the hardware front recently. While a couple of new iPad models were introduced in the fall, the iPad Mini and iPad Air have not seen updates for quite some time. Apple is rumored to be working on larger models with a 14-inch screen and OLED displays for the iPad Pro, but these updates are likely delayed until 2024. A minor refresh for the iPad Mini might be possible, but significant hardware updates for iPads are not expected until next year.
AirPods and AirPods Max
AirPods and AirPods Max are also expected to receive incremental improvements. The next iteration of AirPods Pro is reportedly ready for release, featuring a transition from a lightning connector to USB-C for the charging case. AirPods Max might also see an upgrade, including a new carrying case, internal improvements inspired by the Apple Vision Pro, and the introduction of new colors.
The iMac
As for the iMac, an M3-powered iMac could arrive by the end of this year, marking a significant improvement in performance and efficiency. Apple is also rumored to be working on a larger iMac with a 30-inch display or more. Whether it will be a regular model or a Pro version is uncertain, but a powerful all-in-one desktop solution is on the horizon.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Apple’s upcoming product lineup promises exciting releases in the near future, although immediate surprises may be limited. The iPhone 15 lineup is expected to bring notable changes, the Apple Watch Series 9 and a potential Apple Watch Ultra may offer incremental improvements, and the iPad updates are likely to be postponed. AirPods and AirPods Max will see incremental enhancements, and an upgraded iMac with the latest Apple Silicon and a larger display is anticipated. As always, Apple’s ability to surprise and innovate cannot be underestimated, so consumers can still look forward to surprises beyond the rumors and leaks.
