At the end of the year, according to the good old tradition, we collect all the rumors and expected Apple gadgets. Based on forecasts and requirements in the data network, we are trying to predict which devices and when Cook and company will appear in our country.
In 12 months, we are waiting for updates of many devices, the release of a couple of new products and many minor updates. But first things first.
iPhone 15 with Type-C connector. Place Pro Max hope model Ultra
Availability: 100%
When to expect: in the first half of autumn
the main and most discussed innovation iphone 15 maybe an article transition to more versatile Type-S connectors for charging and checking data. iPads of all recent generations and some accessories are already equipped with Type-C ports. The European Commission gave Apple a long time ago and is forcing them to switch to the appropriate standard.
There may be several options for the development of events:
▶ Cook and company may ignore requests. in 2023, because the decision comes into force on January 1, 2024. iPhone 16.
▶ The port may only appear on the flagship Pro line, and the base models will receive an innovation in 2024. Some analysts also say this.
▶ There is a possibility that all the presented “tags” are connected to the Type-C port.
▶ Perhaps Apple has a more cunning plan and gadgets that will teach you how to transfer data through MagSafe. So the Cupertino people will release the iPhone without connectors at all and bypass the need to use it.
For the first time in years, marketers were able to change the name of the top smartphone. Place iPhone 14 Pro Max thought iPhone 15 Ultra.
Models iphone 15 pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max (Ultra) receive new processor A17 Bionic. Basic models can be found on the chip Apple A15 or get Apple A16.
Perhaps a new camera will be installed in top models Sony with semiconductor architecture.
In addition, flagships can receive new telephoto lens with 10x optical zoom.
A distinctive feature of the “firmware” can be a dual front camera module.
Basic Models iPhone 15 access Dynamic Island.
It is possible that new models are connected by volume and power buttons with a combination 3D Touch.
The network already has the first design concepts for the new iPhone 15 with rounded edges (again).
The good news is rumors about a possible price reduction for basic iPhone 15. Gadgets drop $100 in the USA.
Apple Watch Series 9 without new chips
Availability: 100%
When to expect: at the presentation iphone 15
Every year it becomes more and more difficult for smartwatch developers to replace users and build something new into a gadget worn on the wrist. The latest Apple Watch models have little to no relation to their past protectors.
To the point: What is the difference between Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Series 7. Looking for differences with a magnifying glass
New and rather niche model Apple Watch Ultra (here’s our review) will definitely not be updated in 2023, but the basic Apple Watch Series 8 will update with results improvements.
The device, most likely, will be made in the old design with a number of outlets “under the hood”.
Two or three new iPad models without major innovations
Cupertino rarely update all four lineups of tablets in a year. In the next 12 months, minor updates of the budget tablet and “minicom” will be carried out. In addition, a new “firmware” may appear.
iPad 11th generation
Availability: 90%
When to expect: second half of autumn
Since 2017, the basic line of tablets has been updated annually. The emergence of a new generation necessarily leads to the appearance of earlier processors and a few small differences from the progressive. With the release of the 10th generation, Apple raised the price of the new product and made models of iPad mini models.
It may be a temporary phenomenon to sell out the remaining number of iPad 9th generation without a strong beautiful quality. Or Apple should review the price check and the base iPad of the latest generation, now the “mini” will always be tracked, and its increased one more year will remain relevant and sold at a reduced price.
To the point: 10th generation iPad review
The next fall, with a high degree of probability, was clearly an upgraded 11th generation tablet with an earlier processor, a slightly improved camera, and a faster Type-C port. There are no other significant changes to be expected.
iPad mini 7th generation
Availability: 75%
When to expect: autumn 2023
Prior to this, the Cupertinos updated the Minic at the end of 2021 and at the beginning of 2019. Most likely, the two-year update cycle will be observed and in 2023 we will see another update.
Perhaps only the processor will be updated in the new iPad mini.
If the gadget comes out before the presentation iphone 15then the chip A15 replaced by A16. If the device shows later, maybe they will connect it with the latest processor A17 Bionic.
iPad Air 6th generation
Availability: five%
When to expect: maybe as early as 2024
Like the iPad mini lineup, the Air line is updated every two years. The latest updates were released in the spring of 2022 and in the fall of 2020. The current “air” already received too powerful hardware for its deployment.
The tasks of production in quantity, the long-term release of a new model with an M2 chip make no sense. Most likely, the next update will be in 2024.
iPad Pro 5th/7th generation
Availability: 75%
When to expect: autumn
But the professional line of plants since 2020 is updated annually. Cupertinians are not limited to an update, even taking into account a set of innovations, as happened a few months ago.
To the point: How the new iPad Pro (2022) differs from the old iPad Pro (2021). We need a microscope
Perhaps we are waiting for a similar update with the transition to chips Apple M3.
In addition, there are rumors about the development of a stripped-down version of macOS for Apple tablets. The project is codenamed Mendocino and will be exclusive to the iPad with chips M1/M2/M3.
Almost all Mac models are updated
Last year, the Cupertinos purchased a new Mac Studio and weren’t considered other desktops.
Relevant iMac, Mac mini and Mac Pro. These devices are very likely to receive an update in the coming year.
Mac mini in old design with M2 chip
Availability: 90%
When to expect: early 2023
Analysts suggest that such a computer will appear at the second autumn presentation in 2022. However, partner factories failed to increase the production of new processors. Apple M2 necessary volumes and postponed the release of “miniks”.
Computers receive the maximum number of changes, only the processor is updated. Devices for more than chips, most likely not appearing so they do not compete with Studio Mac. Appearance of the new Mac mini definitely won’t change.
iMac with new color options and M3 processor
Availability: 90%
When to expect: in the second half of 2023
Back in early autumn, 4 iMac models were recognized as recognized. This procedure usually precedes the submission of updated proposals.
Computers are expected to appear in the second half of the year and will be connected to already running processors. Apple M3. This will give a substantial bust in the near future with the 2021 M1 model.
Himself, the chip is most likely essentially on presentation WWDC 2023 at the beginning of summer. Regarding models with a large screen diagonal, there are no new rumors yet. The latter require 27-inch matrices for Apple, which appeared more than a year ago.
Mac Pro redesigned with amazing hardware
Availability: 80%
When to expect: spring-summer 2023
Rumors about new professional computers have been coming out since the end of 2021. Cupertino first tested the “firmware” with the M1 processor, but eventually abandoned this idea.
Then the development of a chip for the M2 Ultra computer began. Most likely, it will go on sale with such a chip. Mac Pro in 2023.
The model is suitable for 24 computing and up to 76 graphics cores. The computer is equipped with RAM up to 192 GB. And here is an even more powerful chip M2 Extreme not worth the wait.
Large 15-inch MacBook Air
Availability: 60%
When to expect: spring-summer 2023
A few months ago, the MacBook Air was already updated, a new chip was installed in the device. Apple M2 (here’s our review of the laptop). With a high degree of probability, a minor update M2 supposed to have a more powerful chip M3.
More interesting rumors concern the 15-inch version of the “air” laptop. Such a computer with the actual filling may appear as early as the beginning of 2023.
Modeling the supposed spot between the 14- and 16-inch firmware and the Air’s first choice becomes an extremely large display size.
Minor update to 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros
Availability: 90%
When to expect: first half of 2023
Such an update was expected at the end of 2022, but for some reason Apple postponed the release. The update will be minor and will most likely affect only processors.
Continued production of 13-inch computers on a chip M2and 14- and 16-inch “firmware” get new M2 Max. and M2 Ultra.
Other significant changes should not be expected.
Many devices and accessories are being transferred to the Type-C connector
Already most of the current tablets (all except the 9th generation iPad), the remote control from the latest generation of the set-top box Apple TV and some accessories use the Type-S port for charging and data sync.
In 1-2 years, the connector will receive all current iPhone models. In 2023, Apple is expected to start converting most of the headsets it sells to Type-C.
You can wait for the release of all cultures AirPodscharging accessory MagSafe batterykeyboards, mice and trackpads for Mac with the new Universal Port.
What Apple gadgets should not be expected in 2023
It’s safe to say that several promising apple projects reach a minimum for a year or a half. A couple of installed devices will definitely not see the light of day until 2024.
The likelihood of such gadgets being released in the near future is small.
iPad 14″ and 16″
Rumors about a large number of Apple tablets with a new 14-inch screen size have been going on for a long time, but the latest and analysts’ forecasts do not yet confirm the imminent appearance of devices.
Still at least one and a half years of registered and 16-inch iPad models. The shortage of components, devices at factories in Taiwan and the transfer of production will not allow the production of such devices in 2023.
The Cupertinites are definitely experimenting and testing different devices, but they are not yet ready to launch completely new models.
MacBook with OLED
Another promising development by Apple has been temporarily put on hold. In the next year, no supplier can demand a company in 13-inch OLED matrices.
Waiting for a MacBook with modern screens is not until 2024.
iPhone SE 4th generation
From Apple’s side, it would be logical to give the fresh iPhone SE 3rd generation time to collect the box office. The model went on sale only in the spring of 2022 and has not yet managed to win over buyers.
The gadget has average sales numbers and is delayed from its 2020 Austrian release.
To the point: The world’s best-selling iPhone model. Be surprised when you find out
For at least another year, the 3rd generation SE will be an actual smartphone, but the new frameless iPhone SE 4 is likely to appear in the spring of 2024.
Glass Augmented Reality Headset
For several years in a row, it has been raining about the imminent entry into the market of a completely new product for Apple – augmented reality glasses.
Every year, interest in the equipment fades, and there are fewer leaks regarding the project. Recent rumors pointed to the approximate cost of the headset at the level 2-3 thousand dollars.
With a high degree of probability, the device can repeat another “long-term construction” of Apple – a charging station AirPower.
We will meet such interesting and rich apple gadgets in 2023.
Happy New Year!
