What Apple released in 2023

Apple hit the ground running in 2023 with new Macs and a new HomePod in January. Then at WWDC in June the company launched no less than three new Macs and a brand new device – the Vision Pro – alongside revealing its plans for macOS 14 Sonoma, iOS 17 and watchOS 10. Finally (maybe) Apple launched the new iPhone 15 series and the Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 at an event in September and then made macOS Sonoma and iOS 17 available for customers to download later that month. Then at an Apple event on October 30 the company unveiled new MacBook Pro and iMac models.

What new Apple products are coming in 2024?

So far in 2024 Apple has released the following new products:

Apple launched the Vision Pro headset in the U.S. on February 2.
The M3 MacBook Air launched on March 4.
The M2 iPad Air, the M4 iPad Pro, and the Apple Pencil Pro all launched on May 7.

We still haven’t seen an M3 or M3 Pro Mac mini (despite the M3 becoming available) and only the AirPods Pro (and EarPods) are equipped with USB-C for charging. It seems likely that in 2024 products will get similar updates. What else can we expect?

In the sections below we’ve split products into categories including Mac, iPad, iPhone and some new product categories. Read on to find out what to expect at Apple next event and throughout the year.

Apple

New Macs

With the update for the Mac Pro at WWDC in June 2023 Apple finished transitioning all its Macs from Intel processors to its own silicon. Apple launched the M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max chips at the end of October 2023, so we can expect the following updates soon:

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 surely only a matter of time before those same chips make their way into the Mac mini. There are rumors that the Mac mini may not be updated until the M4 chip arrives, but we think that would be a huge disappointment with the Mac mini being the only Mac desktop that would offer the M3 Pro chip. For this reason, failure to update the Pro version of the Mac mini leaves a gap in the lineup.

When? Late 2024

Mac Studio with M3 Max and M3 Ultra

The next on the list for update will be the Mac Studio, which is due a M3 upgrade too (in this case the M3 Max and M3 Ultra).

When? Late 2024

Mac Pro with M3 Max and M3 Ultra

If the Mac Studio is getting an update with the M3 Max and M3 Ultra you can rest assured that the Mac Pro will too.

When? Late 2024

iMac Pro M3 Pro

There is a new iMac with M3 chip, but it’s still got a 24-inch screen. What people want is a return of a more professional iMac with a bigger screen.

Apple is said to be working on a Pro version of the iMac, a return of the 27-inch iMac Pro perhaps. It sounds like an M3 Pro iMac might happen, but we could be waiting a little longer for that one.

When? Fall 2024, or 2025

New iPads

No iPads were updated in 2023 – the first time a year passed without an iPad update. There was one iPad that wasn’t even updated in 2022—the iPad mini—so that looks the most likely for an imminent update. But the whole range is probably headed for a refresh this year, and that process started on May 7, when we got new Airs and Pros.

iPad mini

A new iPad mini (7th generation) could be coming soon.

When? Late 2024

11th-gen iPad

The latest standard iPad joined the lineup as long ago as October 2022 so a new model can be expected in 2024. Note that the 9th-gen model was retired on May 7, with the 10th-gen model remaining on sale at a lower price. We’d expect the 11th-gen iPad to roughly match its predecessor’s old price when it launches.

When? Late 2024

New iPhones

The arrival of a new set of iPhones is likely to happen in September 2024.

iPhone 16

The iPhone 16 is likely to arrive, like clockwork, in September 2024.

When? September 2024

iPhone SE

There have recently been a few rumors about the iPhone SE. A supposed leak revealed a bigger screen, notch and Face ID, for example.

This isn’t the first we’ve heard of a bigger version of the iPhone SE. The question is, will it still feature the Home button? Read about the iPhone SE Plus.

When? Spring 2025

New AirPods

The AirPods Max are desperately in need of an update. Will they get an update in 2024? Unfortunately, there aren’t any noisy rumors about them right now.

There are rumors about a new cheaper AirPods model, dubbed AirPods Lite by some. These are said to cost $99 and could arrive alongside 4th-gen AirPods in 2024.

The wait for new AirPods Pro, however, could stretch to 2025. They could offer new health-related features when they arrive.

When? Late 2024

New Apple Watch

We expect that Apple will launch an Apple Watch Series 10 and a third-generation Apple Watch Ultra in September 2024. Both will feature a new S10 chip.

A third-gen Apple Watch SE is also possible.

When? September 2024

New product categories

If Apple was never to innovate away from the products it makes right now it could be left behind as technology progresses. It’s no surprise therefore that the company is working on various new areas. We don’t expect these to land in 2023, but rumors suggest that some of them still could arrive sooner rather than later.

HomePod with screen

We do hope there is some truth in the rumors that Apple is working on a HomePod with a screen. We’ve always said that a screen would make the HomePod infinitely more usable, but perhaps we are the only ones who hate having to talk to our speaker and control the HomePod via an iPhone.

A screen would extend the uses of the HomePod beyond audio into visual – so you could watch podcasts and news reports and YouTube videos, but most usefully communicate via FaceTime.

So far all Apple has done is brought back the full-size HomePod that it removed from sale.

When? Late 2024

Vision Pro successor

The Vision Pro is pricy and a little cumbersome, but Apple is said to be at work on two updated models: a less-expensive version, and another high-end model. Perhaps “Vision Pro 2” and “Vision Air?”

Don’t expect them soon, though. Rumors vary, but none of them say that new Vision hardware is due until at least 2025, maybe even 2026.

We do hope to get news as to when Apple will release the current Vision Pro around the world soon. Read our When will the Vision Pro launch outside the US.

When? 2025 or later
