All Apple Products To Expect In 2023 – iPhone 15, Macbook Pro, Apple Ar / Vr Headsets And More

0
iPhone

Apple 2023 lineup has something for every Apple enthusiast as the Cupertino giant is planning on refreshing some of its high-selling products. We will most likely get an updated iPhone 15 series, an updated version of the Apple Macbook Pro, a couple of refreshed iPads, Apple VR headsets, Homepod, Airpod Max, and Apple Watch Series 9.

With so much to look forward to in 2023, the rumours around all upcoming products from Apple have somewhat set the expectations for each launch in the market. So, let’s discuss what all apple products to expect in 2023 in detail.

iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro

This is completely in line with the tradition of Apple unveiling an updated iPhone successor every year in September. The iPhone 15 series will most likely include an iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro and if rumours are to be believed an iPhone 15 Plus, and an iPhone 15 Pro Max, which can also be named as iPhone 15 Ultra.

Although we have no confirmed update about the design of the iPhone 2023, it has been widely speculated that the 15 series will have a MacBook Pro 14 and 16 2021 edition style rounded edges in the back. Moreover, with Apple’s focus on 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch screen sizes only, we can expect the same to be explored in the upcoming unveiling as well.

MacBook Pro – 14-inch and 16-inch variants

In 2023, we are expecting to finally get the refreshed models for both 14″ and 16″ MacBook Pro versions. The focus is more likely to be on the chip than on design or any other feature. Apple is expected to unveil upgraded M2 Pro and the M2 Max silicon chips in the 2023 MacBook versions.

The current models are working on the M1 Pro and the m1 Max chips. As per speculations, the M2 Max chip will be a 12-core CPU and up to 16-core GPU, although nothing has been confirmed by the brand itself.

Apple AR/VR Headsets 2023

So much has been discussed about the Apple AR/VR sets but it appears we are finally inching close to the unveiling in 2023. Since launching the first Apple Watch in 2015, this will be Apple’s second foray into a different category of wearables and it will be extremely interesting to witness how the brand performs in a new segment.

The AR/VR headsets, which will be a combination of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality, will basically overlay virtual objects into the real world and make them appear real. As per rumours, Apple could name this product either Reality Pro or Reality One.

iPad Lineup of 2023

New iPad 2023 - All Apple Products To Expect In 2023

 

2023 may introduce a new iPad mini and an iPad Air. On one hand, we have the iPad mini that hasn’t had an updated version released in the market since 2021, and on the other hand, we have the iPad Air that will most likely get the latest M2 chip this year.

With such uneven product updates, it is widely speculated that Apple is planning on erasing all the gaps between the two iPad variants.

As for official confirmation, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has already confirmed that the launch of a new and updated version of the iPad mini can be expected to hit the market by late 2023 or early 2024.

Apple HomePod

If Apple’s analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is to be believed, 2023 could be the year when we get a new HomePod sized somewhere between the HomePod mini and the original HomePod.

Speculations suggest an early 2023 launch, these are likely to be an expensive version of HomePods and are likely to come with a touch-integrated display and an S8 chip.

AirPods Max 2023

AirPods Max is another product that Apple has not updated since 2020 despite tech bloggers speculating about a launch during every Apple event. Rumours are again doing rounds for this year.

A recent online tip revealed that the 2023 version of AirPods Max will most likely function on an H2 chip.

The product is also expected to have high-end features such as updated Active Noise Cancellation functionality, a U1 chip for better “Find My” capabilities, Adaptive Transparency and Bluetooth v5.3.

Apple Watch Series 9

apple watch series 9 - All Apple Products To Expect In 2023

Apple refreshing the watch every year has also become customary just like the iPhone. The brand is expected to unveil the Apple Watch Series 9 by September 2023.

There aren’t too many tips or rumours doing rounds in the market when it comes to the next watch series, so there is not much to reveal at this point. However, it is common knowledge in the industry that Apple is in the process of coming up with new fitness feature sensors for better monitoring of blood glucose and blood pressure.

The largest iPhone plant in the world, which had been going through a rough phase due to limited supply, has started its production again at peak capacity as Apple’s largest supplier, Foxconn, is at a 90% peak capacity in the Zhengzhou main plant.

There are more than 200,000 employees working in the plant as revealed by Vic Wang, Foxconn executive, that are heaving a sigh of relief as it is back to being business as usual after numerous issues.

Highlights

  • iPhone‘s largest plant based in Zhengzhou, China has resumed production after many months of abysmal supply.
  • The production has resumed at peak phase after weeks of turmoil as many workers had quit following following Covid-19 curbs.
  • Due to production delays, it has become difficult for Foxconn to meet consumer expectations regarding iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Apple’s largest iPhone plant Resumes Production Following Supply Issues

iPhone users can rejoice as Foxconn, the largest iPhone plant in the world, based in Zhengzhou, China, is resuming operations at peak capacity as production had taken a massive hit in the past few weeks due to lack of supply, which made it difficult to meet consumer expectations of iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max

Foxconn is the largest supplier to Apple that has resumed work with renewed vigour at peak production capacity as limited production had taken a considerable toll on the work operations of the whole unit.

The Zhengzhou plant was also known as iPhone City, which has the reputation of producing a huge majority of high-end iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max that met with extremely positive reviews from consumers.

In November 2022, thousands of workers had fled their jobs and staged protests against the Covid-19 curb that had been put in order and as the movement gathered momentum throughout the country, Foxconn was left with little choice but to end the restrictions the following month and increased incentives for new and existing employees.

While Apple had already informed consumers of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max shipments to fall due to the Covid-19 restrictions, China’s zero-Covid policy also required numerous cities to quell these outbreaks by using the restrictions, as many workers were returning home to avoid getting trapped in case the lockdown period was extended.

Fortunately, the supply of iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max has improved considerably in the past few weeks, due to which Foxconn has started out again with renewed hopes so as to meet up to consumer expectations.

Samsung Phones in 2023: Galaxy S23, Galaxy Z Fold 5 and More

Samsung Phones in 2023

Samsung had a great 2022. With the success of its mid to high-end smartphones including the flagship Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, the South Korean consumer electronics manufacturing company managed to again enjoy the largest market share globally.

While the A series has captured the mid-rangers segment, the success of its foldable phones cemented its position in the innovative hardware segment. However, Samsung’s upcoming lineup has always had the market excited no matter what the current position of the brand is.

And the same goes for Samsung phones in 2023. Models such as the Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy Z Fold 5 and More are some of the launches we are expecting from the brand this year. Let’s look at each expected smartphone launch one by one.

Samsung Galaxy S23 – Launch expected in 2023

Samsung Galaxy S23

Market speculations suggest that Samsung Galaxy S23 will be launched as early in 2023 as February 1. This could very well be the first major smartphone launch of the year.

Being its latest foray into the high-end segment, rumours suggest Samsung has packed some high-end specs in the smartphone paying special attention to the camera features.

A 200-megapixel sensor as its main camera and an 8K video at 30 frames per second are some of the camera features expected.

Moreover, a new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, the brightest display with 2,100 nits brightness and a somewhat Galaxy S22 Ultra inspired back panel look are some of the other expected features packed in the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23.

Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Other Foldable Phones – Launch expected of Samsung Phones in 2023

Galaxy Z Fold 5

The range of Samsung foldable phones will this year most likely receive two new entrants in the form of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5. The last tip revealed that the upcoming Galaxy Flip will sport a larger cover display, something of a 3-inch panel replacing the current 1.9-inch.

In any case, lesser is known about both devices’ specifications or additional features wise. Many tech bloggers have predicted an effort to improve battery capacity, camera features, and perhaps an S Pen house following the design lines followed in Galaxy S22 Ultra.

What will be exciting to see, however, is whether Samsung turns a little flexible with the pricing of its foldable range, which is still out of reach of mainstream smartphone buyers.

Some speculations further suggest that there could be a scrollable screen that the brand has been working on. And although a similar claim was made last year as well, it will be interesting to see if that finally materialises in 2023.

Samsung A Series Smartphones – Launch expected of Samsung Phones in 2023

Samsung’s confidence in its Galaxy A series phones isn’t surprising with the lineup getting great acceptance in its intended market segment.

The series has presented itself as a perfect alternative for people who are looking for a decent smartphone experience without paying a flagship price. The Galaxy A53, launched in early 2022, is undoubtedly one of the most affordable smartphones available in the market today.

In 2023, it is expected that Samsung will come up with the next updated versions of the Galaxy A53 and the Galaxy A33.

Other than that, a popular tech blogging website has also reported on leaked renders of a rumoured Samsung Galaxy A54 5G. The renders suggest a Galaxy S22 Ultra inspired appearance, which could mean Samsung is now working on a unified look for its smartphones.
