Apple plans to launch as many as 20 new products this fall

If you thought WWDC was full of new products, you haven’t seen anything yet. While Apple normally fills the fall and winter months with new products, this year could see as many as 20 new devices, from four new iPhone 14 models to new Macs, iPads and possibly even a new HomePod.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is “on the cusp of entering one of the most ambitious new product periods in its history,” with nearly every product in Apple’s lineup due for an update. Here’s everything Gurman expects Apple to launch in the coming months:

iPhone 14

As usual, the new iPhone begins its fall announcements. Apple is again planning four new models this year with one big change: the mini is going in favor of a new non-pro Max model. While that’s the biggest change for the non-Pro models, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will get several new features: an always-on display, a new chip, better front and back cameras, and thinner bezels.

Apple Watch Series 8

The Apple Watch Series 8 is expected to have the same 41mm and 44mm dimensions as the Series 7 and may introduce a third “rugged” or “extreme” model, made for users with more demanding needs. Gurman says the S8 chip expected to power the Apple Watch Series 8 will be much the same as the S7 chip (which was essentially the same as the S6).

Apple Watch SE

The second-generation Apple Watch SE will reportedly have the same screen size as the current model, although it will likely get an always-on display, new sensors and a newer processor.

10th generation iPad

The latest update to Apple’s cheapest iPad will reportedly include a larger display (10.5in vs. 10.2in), USB-C and 5G. However, it is expected to keep the same retro design, including the home button.

iPad Pro

The 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pros will receive an upgrade to an M2 processor and may also include wireless charging.

AirPods Pro

The long-awaited update to the first-generation AirPods Pro is finally coming this fall with a new voiceless design, lossless audio support, and better battery life. The wireless charging case can also get USB-C to replace Lightning.

HomePod

Apple plans to launch a new HomePod as well, though Gurman warns it won’t arrive until 2023. It will reportedly be “closer to the original HomePod in terms of size and audio performance” with a new screen at the top that offers multiple-touch functionality.

Apple TV

Gurman says the Apple TV will get a minor update, with a new chip and more RAM. However, there are also rumors of a cheaper model.

Mixed reality headset

Reportedly, Apple’s first new product category will appear in a number of years: an AR-VR headset. Gurman says the device will have an M2 processor with 16GB of RAM to match its dual 8K displays.

New Macs

In addition, Apple has several Macs in need of updates in the coming months, including: M2 and M2 Pro Mac minis, 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros with M2 Pro and M2 Max processorsand a redesigned Mac Pro with M2 Ultra and new M2 Extreme chips† Gurman says the M2 Macs will likely arrive in “much faster succession” than the M1 Macs.

Apple will reportedly kick off the “flood” of announcements with the iPhone 14 event in mid-September.
