iPhone 15
The star of the show is undoubtedly the iPhone 15. This iteration of Apple’s flagship smartphone is expected to come with some noteworthy changes.
Most notably, it’s rumoured to feature USB-C support, a move influenced by EU regulations standardising ports across devices.
Wireless charging is also set for an upgrade, with a Qi2 standard that combines wireless charging with magnets. The Dynamic Island feature, previously exclusive to Pro models, may make its way to standard iPhone 15s.
iPhone 15 Ultra
A new addition to the lineup, the iPhone 15 Ultra is poised to replace the Pro Max.
It’s expected to feature a 6.7-inch display with a 120 Hz refresh rate, reduced bezels, and an “Action” button, offering customisable shortcuts for various functions.
Apple Watch Series 9
Details about the Apple Watch Series 9 have been relatively scarce.
It’s possible that this release could be a bit more subdued, with bigger plans saved for the 10th anniversary next year. However, an Apple Watch Ultra is rumoured to be in the works, with upgraded processors, new colours, and potentially 3D printing for case design.
AirPods
New AirPods are also on the horizon, though they may not make their debut until 2024. A stand-alone USB-C charging case might be in the works.
While some products are all but confirmed, Apple always has a few surprises up its sleeve.
Here are some aspects that remain uncertain:
Macs
While new Macs are always a possibility, it’s a bit less likely this time around. The M3 chip may not make an appearance until 2024.
Apple Vision Pro
The spatial computing headset known as the Vision Pro will likely get more attention. Given its early 2024 release date, we might see more demos and information about content.
iOS/macOS/iPadOS/watchOS Updates
Expect more details on release dates for Apple’s operating systems.
