Apple Product Roadmap 2023–24: Over 15 New Devices in Development

[MacRumors]

Apple is working on at least a dozen new devices set to launch between late 2023 and early 2024, according to an updated product roadmap shared by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

In the latest edition of his "Power On" newsletter, Gurman explained that Apple is planning to launch two Apple Watch Series 9 models and a second-generation Apple Watch Ultra alongside the iPhone 15 lineup this fall.

Substantial updates to the Mac lineup will launch starting later this year or in early 2024, encompassing new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with the M3 Pro and M3 Max chips, a refreshed 13-inch MacBook Pro with the M3 chip, two new MacBook Air models, and new 24-inch iMac models. In addition, Apple is said to be "conducting early work" on an all-new iMac model with a display larger than 30 inches in size.

Gurman reiterated that an updated iPad Air to replace the current M1-based device and two new iPad Pro models with OLED displays are on the way for 2024. Third-generation AirPods Pro, a refreshed Apple TV with improved specifications, and other "home equipment" such as smart displays are also in early development. A new generation of Apple's Vision Pro headset is unlikely to arrive until 2025, he added.

Christ - how much is that going to cost?! Must be using a 6k screen to maintain >200 ppi...

 

[KooL BeAnZ]

iPads with OLED long overdue, definitely can’t wait for those !

and still i think it will outsell the 24"

I'm sick of waiting for a proper replacement for my 2017 iMac, so I guess Apple won. I'm buying a Studio Display and a Mac Mini. I tried the Dell 27" 4K monitor for a while, but the scaling issues are terrible, and the image quality isn't anywhere near Apple's. I've waited for the Samsung Viewfinity S9, but I should have known better. Based on the first review, it also sucks.

The only question left: how much am I going to spend? The 2017 iMac was costly then, but I will surely break my personal record at the Apple Store. I just want a speedier machine, screen size is fine. You would expect that a similar, more up-to-date machine would be cheaper, but I need to spend hundreds of dollars more this round to get a similar setup.

A Mac Mini with 32GB of memory, a Studio Display, and an Apple keyboard and trackpad is now $3,646. Yes, it's faster than my current iMac, and I can reuse the display when I upgrade the Mac Mini in a few years, but holy ****, I've never spent so much money on a freaking computer.

Well, if they price it competitively to the Studio + display, then it will likely sell as hot cakes, as previous iMacs have.

 

[zedsdead]

Nothing shocking here, but I hope the larger iMac rumor is true. A larger consumer priced iMac is missing from the lineup and I have several family members that would have bought them if they existed.

 

[madmin]

What great news to start the week with !!

 

[Lwii2boo]

I don't want to be toxic but can someone explain to me why people give any sort of relevance to what Gurman said. He said just omega obvious/consensual things all the time.
I get this guy has a good network but what he said is just pointless

 

[jayducharme]

I’m waiting for an M3 Mac mini…

 

[rp2011]

I am looking forward to replacing either my MacBook Pro or Mac Studio or both with an M3, but I have decided I will need to buy a Windows machine with a 4080/90 for rendering. Kinda lost faith that Apple could make a decent Windows replacement for graphics work.

 

[SW3029]

A new generation of Apple's Vision Pro headset is unlikely to arrive until 2025, he added.​

I mean, no ****. The first one won't even be out until 2024.

 

[Pecka]

I'm looking forward to the MBP with M3. Hopefully Apple doesn't make any cost cutting with a slow SSD in the base model like they did on the M2.

 

[one more]

Gurman reiterated that an updated iPad Airto replace the current M1-based device and two new iPad Pro models with OLED displays are on the way for 2024.

So if those OLED screens will first come to iPad Pro line, what will actually be updated in the current iPad Air 5? Bumping entry storage to 128 GB from the current 64 - not such a big deal, replacing M1 with M2 - who cares? Those OLED screens, FaceID & ProMotion will then be the real differentiating factors between Air & Pro. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm sick of waiting for a proper replacement for my 2017 iMac, so I guess Apple won. I'm buying a Studio Display and a Mac Mini.

Just as I never bought and paid for a MBP without a port selection, I won't be buying a non-iMac for my iMac needs. Apple better make a large iMac with ports or I'll not be buying another desktop Mac. Make iMac useful again.

 

[Warped9]

M3 14 and 16 MBPs will be even more killer machines than they are now. A redesigned M3 13 MBP will be overdue, sans touchbar and design more in line with the bigger MBPs. Updating the current 13 and 15 MBAs to M3 probably won’t happen until 2024, and I doubt early 2024, given the current versions are still new.

A 30+ inch iMac is nuts—it’ll cost through the roof! There’s your iMac Pro replacement with M3 Max and Pro chips… If it actually happens, which I’m skeptical.

Updated iPad Pro and Air is no surprise.

I’m waiting for the M3 iMac, hopefully by the end of the year.

 

[lordDavidson]

I'm hoping that the the keyboards/mice etc. will all be usb-c by the end of the year.

 

[6787872]

"new" = rehashing old things and adding a 'pro' or 'ultra' to it lmao

 

[Ray2]

I’m waiting for bug free systems and application software from Apple.

Think of the cost in terms of how much you spend on an equivalent Windows PC in the same amount of time that the Mac set up will last. When I got my first iMac in 2012, I was a bit shell shocked that I was spending over $3000 on a computer...but it lasted seven years. I never had a PC that would make it past 2½ years before needing to be replaced..and they cost around $2000-2300 each. In the long run, the iMac was cheaper.

 

[Samu25]

I hope they will release AirPods Max 2 soon. Those are overdue for a refresh…

Oh wow, what a zinger!

 

[Oberhorst]

"Larger than 30 inches", now that's what I like to hear!

In addition, Apple is said to be "conducting early work" on an all-new iMac model with a display larger than 30 inches in size."

Has Gurman forgotten that Apple follows a very distinct path when releasing new Apple silicon chips. With both the M1 and M2 series:

The standard M series chip comes first along with products that utilise that very silicon.

Then the M Pro and M Max chips are released next about six months later which ushers in the release of the new 14 and 16 inch Macbook Pro models.

Therefore I think the first M3 silicon will not be available for Mac products until early 2024.

I've been using Macs for almost 20 years now. A Windows PC is out of the question. The investment in the 2017 iMac has been well worth the price. It has never failed me, I've made good money with it, but it's getting a little slow for all modern software, and Sonoma won't support it.

So I'm willing to spend money on a Mac again; it's about time. I'm just annoyed that a $2500 setup in 2017, now costs $3500+, and it's only faster with more modern ports. But that's not because of the $1000 difference. It's a setup that's six years newer.
