Apple's 2023 Roadmap: When to Expect New Product Launches This Year

Maybe, but I wouldn't bet any money on it.
Everything M1 was/is "A14", the M2 is "A15" but won't grow into Pro/Max/Ultra variants as it seems.
Those (most likely marketed as "M3...") might even skip A16 completely going to A17 based 3nm cores.
This year will probably answer the age-old question of whether to go laptop+monitor or desktop+laptop. It very much depends on the Macs that Apple will bring out. Specifically, the iMacs and MacBook Airs.
Very excited for this year!

To me the white bezels are way worse. Black bezels frame the screen better and is easier on my eyes, although yes they should be smaller. I don't want the screen to blend in with the background when I'm actually using it. Of course everyone is different. However, notice that the standalone displays have black bezels?
The simple solution was to offer a 24" iMac option in "classic" silver or space gray with black bezels (also give us a black keyboard and mouse combo). I think that will be rectified with the next version.
Glad its 2014. People who update their stuff every year or even 2/3/4 years are a drain on resources and the environment. Shame on them. So wasteful
Unfortunately, I believe that the expectation inside the spaceship is for us to use TB4 drives if we want more storage than they offer …
That doesn’t help w/ the anemic amount of ram available in the current iMac, of course ..
Sigh

I have a 2015 15inch MacBook Pro..and will wait till the end of the year to decide...
Then you have your desire which is an updated cheaper Mac mini that supports 32 GB RAM w/better CPU/GPU performance such as the current M1 Pro SoC supports would work for most Mac mini users.
I’d have already purchased two of them if Apple would make them/take my $$$.
If Apple knows how poor the economy is going, they should understand that most people will wait until Apple is willing to sell them what they actually want, and not be upsold for something outside their needs/budget?
If Apple wants my money, they’ll have to sell something I want to spend money on?
I’d have already purchased two MxPro minis, if Apple would sell them.
I’m sure that I’m not the only one.
That's not how impulse purchases of luxury products work. I know unemployed asylum seekers, who bought the iPhone 14 Pro with Dynamic Island against their loneliness.
Nothing you said hurt my feelings at all and it's not the opinions per se. It's the way you frame those opinions and/or presume to speak for others. It's comes off as excessively self-important. Not trying to be rude -- just FYI.
But what I said is based on what I read, not just a figment of my imagination, so why not take what I have experienced and make use of it?
Again, I think this is somehow the whole point of sharing comments.
I'd suggest you stop making this argument personal before a moderator suspends you.
That's a no chief. Read MR forums and you'll see nobody likes this machine, and we overwhelmingly represent everyday users. If you buy one you'll be banned from this site too, it's not allowed. /s
Finally! I love the white bezels myself, I miss having it for iPads too. I think it would've been nice had Apple released [yet another shade of] a grey or black color for the 24" iMac with black bezels though. I wonder how those would like side-by-side, thin black versus thin white bezels. My main gripes with the design of 24" iMac are the coloring difference on front versus rear, I prefer the more saturated tone than pastel on the front, and that it could be thicker to eliminate the chin altogether.
Based on Apple’s recent history and the forecasted economy, we’ll be lucky to see half of these announcements this year. I predict no new products, just “tock” cycle processor upgrades.
I think we're talking about two different things?
I was referring to Apple upselling users to the Studio, when all they really need/can really afford is a Mac mini with more ram?
I'm looking for two of them.
And, for me, these are not impulse purchases?
And, I think that's the reality for many Mac users who are staring at the current line-up and scratching our heads. Apple isn't making the computer that we want right now? So.. we wait.
I held out w/ a non-retina 2012 MBP that was my daily driver/primary computer until Apple finally killed off the butterfly KB... Waiting for a Mac mini with more ram that isn't replacing a primary/daily-driver computer... that will be a cake walk.
I’m really hoping the Apple Watch Ultra gets a refresh and a new chip this year.
Should be interesting to see the Mac Pro and the AR/VR goggles.
Of course the iPhone is always exciting.

You talked about a poor economy, with regards to Apple products such a thing does not exist.
Anyone who would chose a Mac Studio for this reason alone has obviously no money problems.
So you do wait. Apple doesn't care in which year you purchase their luxury products. Right now only 4% of all Mac desktop sales are Mac minis.
But it might actually attract some too. Depending on the price, I might consider it. I'll never a MBP 16 as it hides behind overkill specs and pricing I will never pay even if I had more $$$
Exactly. I might glance at a MBA 15 depending on price. I'll never get a MBP 16 at that price. Maybe if they had more base specs and brought the price down, I might. All I wan't is a large screen at a reasonable price. Can get a 17" PC Laptop for a third of the price, and it still has the specs I need. Just would go 16GB+ RAM next time around.
