Wat we in 2024 kunnen verwachten van Apple!
Apple promises a 2024 like no other, with innovations that push boundaries and exceed expectations. With a new product segment planned, major updates to the iPad Pro and Apple Watch, and AI improvements, there's plenty to be excited about. And that's without even mentioning the impact of new regulations on Apple's strategy.
Here's a look at what the coming year has in store for us, from new products to unprecedented developments.
Regulatory adjustments
We saw it coming: EU regulations forcing Apple to change. While the iPhone has already switched to USB-C, other devices like mice and keyboards still need to follow suit. Expect more transparency around the App Store and browsers as well. Sources suggest Apple could even allow alternative app stores in the EU, perhaps in a later iOS 17 update in 2024.
The Vision Pro WWDC Unveiling2023 gave us a taste of Apple's AR/VR headset and its accompanying visionOS. An exclusive group of developers already has access, and Vision Pro will launch in the US in 2024. Initial availability and pricing will limit the impact, but expect plenty of speculation about future, more accessible models.
iPads galoreAfter a hiatus in 2023, 2024 will be all about iPad updates. The iPad Pro is said to be coming in new sizes and with OLED displays powered by the M3 chip. The iPad Air is also said to be getting a larger version.
AirPods RenewalExpect a redesigned AirPods in 2024, possibly with an all-new design for the AirPods 4, and a USB-C port for the AirPods Max.
CarPlay's transformationThe completely redesigned CarPlay is expected to arrive in 2023, but realistically, most announcements will likely take place in 2024. Get ready for some big news on this one.
Exceptional Products: iPhone 16 Ultra and Apple Watch XThe expectation of a new iPhone and Apple Watch in September is standard, but the iPhone 16 Ultra and Apple Watch X promise to be something special with premium features and materials.
The rollout of the M3 chipThe M3 chip made a noticeable debut in Pro and Max variants, prioritized for the MacBook Pro and iMac. Other devices will follow, including the MacBook Air, Mac Studio, Mac Pro, iPad Pro, and iPad Air.
HomePod with ScreenRumors of a HomePod with a screen are mounting. From leaked images to prototype testing on an iPad mini, this could lead to a new category within Apple's ecosystem.
