What Apple launched in 2023
Apple struck the ground running in 2023 with brand-new Macs and a brand-new HomePod in January.

What brand-new Apple items are can be found in 2024?
Simply taking a look at 2023 offers us ideas regarding what need to be being available in 2024. In 2023 no iPads were upgraded, we didn’t get M3 variations of the MacBook Air or Mac mini (regardless of the M3 appearing) and just the AirPods Pro (and EarPods) got USB-C. It promises that in 2024 items will get comparable updates. What else can we anticipate?
In the areas listed below we’ve divided items into classifications consisting of Mac, iPad, iPhone and some brand-new item classifications. Keep reading to learn what to anticipate at Apple next occasion the throughout the year.
Apple
New Macs
With the upgrade for the Mac Pro at WWDC in June 2023 Apple completed transitioning all its Macs from Intel processors to its own silicon. Apple released the M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max chips at the end of October 2023, so we can anticipate the following updates quickly:
Mac mini with M3 and M3 Pro
Now that the iMac has an M3 chip, and the MacBook Pro an M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max chip, it is undoubtedly just a matter of time before those very same chips make their method into the Mac mini.

When? Spring 2024
MacBook Air with M3
The reports recommend that the MacBook Air upgrade will can be found in the spring of 2024. We anticipate that both designs will be getting the exact same M3 upgrade as the 14-inch MacBook Pro did, however do not anticipate to see the M3 Pro here.

When? Spring 2024
iMac Pro M3 Pro
There is a brand-new iMac with M3 chip, however it’s still got a 24-inch screen. What individuals desire is a return of a more expert iMac with a larger screen.
Apple is stated to be dealing with a Pro variation of the iMac, a return of the 27-inch iMac Pro maybe. It seems like an M3 Pro iMac may occur, however we might be waiting a bit longer for that a person.

When? Fall 2024, or 2025
New iPads

No iPads were upgraded in 2023– the very first time a year passed without an iPad upgrade. There was one iPad that wasn’t even upgraded in 2022– the iPad mini– so that looks the most likely for an impending upgrade. There might be an upgrade coming to the iPad Air too.
iPad tiny
A brand-new iPad mini– seventh generation– might be coming quickly.

When? Spring 2024
iPad Air
The iPad Air might quickly get an upgrade to the M2 chip. There is likewise a report that we might see a bigger iPad Air, possibly 12.9 inches.

When? Spring 2024
Larger iPad Pro
Together with an M3 upgrade there might be a 14-inch iPad Pro originating from Apple.
When? Fall 2024
11th gen iPad
The 10th generation iPad signed up with the line up in October 2022 so a brand-new design can be anticipated in 2024. The 9th gen design is most likely to be retired, so possibly Apple will continue to offer the 10th gen design, or lower the entry-level rate for the 11th gen iPad when it releases.
When? Fall 2024
New iPhones
The arrival of a brand-new set of iPhones isn’t most likely to occur before September 2024. There is a little possibility we might see a brand-new iPhone SE before then, however we believe we will not.

iPhone 16
The iPhone 16 is most likely to show up, like clockwork, in September 2024.

When? September 2024
iPhone SE
This is a long shot, however a couple of years back now there were reports that Apple might introduce a larger variation of the iPhone SE Plus– which would imply that those who desire a huge iPhone and a Home button would still have an alternative. It’s a good concept however we aren’t persuaded this remains in Apple’s sights now. Check out the iPhone SE Plus
Unfortunately, we can’t make sure there is a future for the iPhone SE at all. An upgrade is stated to be “not likely” to come before 2025. If it shows up in a bigger screen size and has no home button individuals who are drawn to this iPhone will no doubt be dissatisfied.

When? Spring 2025
New AirPods
The AirPods Max are frantically in requirement of an upgrade– being not able to play lossless audio today, will they get an upgrade in 2024? There aren’t any loud reports about them right now.
There are reports about a brand-new more affordable AirPods design, called AirPods Lite by some. These are stated to cost $99 and might get here together with 4th gen AirPods in the spring.
The await brand-new AirPods Pro might extend to 2025. They might use brand-new health-related functions when they show up.

A third-gen Apple Watch SE is likewise possible.

When? Fall 2024
New item classifications
If Apple was never ever to innovate far from the items it makes right now it might be left as innovation advances. It’s not a surprise for that reason that the business is dealing with numerous brand-new locations. We do not anticipate these to land in 2023, however reports recommend that a few of them still might show up earlier instead of later on.
Vision Pro headset
We understand it’s a genuine thing due to the fact that Apple flaunted the Vision Pro blended truth headset at WWDC in June 2023, however we are less sure when it will release. Apple stated “Early 2024”, however Apple does not constantly fulfill its self-imposed due dates. In the beginning it will just be offered in the U.S. pertaining to other nations later on in the year.
Check out Apple’s Vision Pro
When? Spring 2024
HomePod with screen
We do hope there is some reality in the reports that Apple is dealing with a HomePod with a screen. We’ve constantly stated that a screen would make the HomePod definitely more functional, however possibly we are the only ones who dislike needing to talk with our speaker.
A screen would extend usings the HomePod beyond audio into visual– so you might view podcasts and report and YouTube videos, however many usefully interact by means of FaceTime.
Far all Apple has actually done is brought back the full-size HomePod that it got rid of from sale.

Video gaming console
