Original AirPods Max launched in December 2020It would be most logical to see the presentation of the second generation wireless headset in December of 2023. The same goes for the HomePod mini, which was introduced in November 2020. A $99 cost and very limited functions.

Surprisingly, all of the latest leaks imply it will be the year 2023. Kind of a transition year for Apple. A major update is not expected on the new iPad models, and the next generation AirPods are not expected to be released. The only products that are certain to be introduced this year are the new iPhones, the newly introduced Mac mini and the second-generation HomePod, in addition to the new 2023 MacBook Pro.

Although Apple has a big surprise in 2023… earphones virtual reality! This could finally be the year of Apple glasses. Of course, many clues have been discovered that suggest that Apple’s software engineers are focusing on completing the final details of “xrOS”, the operating system of the mixed reality glasses, leaving iOS 17 and other projects aside.
