As we approach the end of a busy product release cycle for Apple, with just new iPad and Macs left to be announced next month, we set our sights on the future. Apple is rumored to have a number of new products in the works for next year, including new Macs, a new HomePod, and more.
There are other products that will be coming from Apple in the future. According to Mark Gurman in his Power On newsletter, we have rounded up five major products other than the iPhone 15.
According to Gurman, the 15-inch MacBook Air will be released by Apple in 2023. The MacBook Air is rumored to have a thinner and lighter design than the MacBook Pro. The 15-inch MacBook Air would use the same design as the current 13-inch model.
Gurman said that Apple is working on a new iMac. The design and size of the new iMac will not be known until later. It's not clear if the iMac Pro is the M3 iMac or a separate product.
Apple is working on a new product that will combine a HomePod with an Apple TV and a camera. Gurman said today that the product could be launched by the end of the year. The device's other capabilities would include standard Apple TV box functions, like watching video and gaming, plus smart speaker uses, such as playing music and using Apple's Siri digital assistant, according to a previous report.
The form factor and price of the product are not yet known, but with a launch possibly slated for sometime next year, more details may emerge in the coming months.
One of the first Apple products will probably be the company's long-rumored augmented reality/ virtual reality headset. Apple is planning to release a headset next year, according to several reports. According to an Apple analyst, the company is going to announce a new headset in January.
After the discontinuation of the product in March 2021, Apple is rumored to be working on a new full-sized HomePod. The new HomePod will be powered by the S8 chip from the Apple Watch Series 8 and will be the same size as the original one. The new HomePod could be launched in the first quarter of 2020.
