The past few years may have been somewhat overshadowed by the pandemic, but that hasn’t stopped Apple from overhauling most of its product line-up, including Intel’s near-complete transition of the Mac to its own processors.
In 2022 we saw Apple launch the iPhone 14 series, three new Apple Watches, a new set of AirPods Pro, a new 10.9-inch iPad, the Mac Studio and the M2 MacBook Air and M2 13-inch MacBook Pro, alongside other updates.
In this article, we take a look at what we expect Apple to launch in 2023. We’ve researched every rumor and trend we could find to bring you our predictions. Read on to find out what could be in store.

New Macs
It’s been about two and a half years now since Apple revealed in June 2020 that it would transition all of its Macs from Intel processors to its own silicon within two years. Apple has already updated many of its machines, including the MacBook Air, Mac mini, 24-inch iMac, 13-inch MacBook Pro, 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro, and launched the Mac Studio. Plus at WWDC in June 2022, Apple introduced the M2 chip in the MacBook Air and the 13-inch MacBook Pro. Read Everything you need to know about the M2.
That still leaves the following Macs in need of an Apple silicone update. Here’s what we still expect to arrive:
iMac
An M2 iMac – and we hope an M2 Pro iMac – could/should be in Apple’s pipeline. Maybe even the resurgence of the iMac Pro.
When? WWDC 2023
Macpro
The Apple Silicon Mac Pro is reportedly in the works, which could feature an M2 Ultra or even an M2 Extreme (although the M2 Extreme looks unlikely right now).

When? WWDC 2023
15-inch MacBook Air
Rumors of a larger MacBook Air have been circulating for some time now, and 2023 could be the year we finally see a larger MacBook Air.
When? WWDC 2023
New iPads

We got a sneak peek at iPadOS 16 at WWDC, and the final release of iPadOS 16 is expected in October (read about what could be coming in iPadOS 16). Here’s the new hardware we’re expecting alongside the OS update:
iPadmini
A new iPad mini – seventh generation – could arrive in 2023.

When? Fall 2023
Larger iPad Pro
There could be a 14-inch iPad Pro from Apple. Mark Gurman predicts that Apple will release a 14-inch iPad Pro in 2023.
When? Fall 2023
New iPhones
The arrival of a new set of iPhones in September 2023 is highly likely, but will other new iPhones arrive earlier in 2023?

iPhone 15
The iPhone 15 (and Plus, Pro, and Pro Max) will likely arrive in September 2023 like clockwork.

When? September 2023
iPhone SE Plus
This is a guess, but a few years ago there were rumors that Apple might be launching a bigger version of the iPhone SE Plus – which would mean those who want a big iPhone and a Home button would have an option.

When? To be determined
New categories
If Apple never innovated beyond the products it makes today, it could fall behind as technology advances. So it’s no surprise that the company is working on several new areas. We don’t expect all of these to land in 2023, but rumors suggest that some of them could arrive sooner rather than later anyway.

HomePod with screen
We do hope that there is some truth to the rumors that Apple is working on a HomePod with a screen. We’ve always said a screen would make the HomePod infinitely more usable, but maybe we’re the only ones who hate having to talk to our speaker.
A screen would extend the use of the HomePod from audio to visual – so you could watch podcasts and news reports and YouTube videos, but most importantly communicate via FaceTime.
So far, Apple has only brought back the full-size HomePod that it pulled from sale.

When? Spring or WWDC 2023

AR Glasses/Mixed Reality Headset
Apple has made clear its interest in augmented reality and we may hear more about its plans to make AR glasses. The rumors suggest we could see Apple’s AR or VR headset product in 2023. Apple’s upcoming xrOS could even be the start of a whole new ecosystem of devices.
We’re hoping Apple shows something at WWDC 2023 in an effort to get developers to design apps for the new device, but we’re still expecting to see a final product.

When? Spring or WWDC 2023
Game console
There are even rumors that Apple could have plans to release a gaming console – or at least an Apple TV with enhanced gaming credentials.

When? Fall 2023
Car
An overview of Apple rumors wouldn’t be a complete overview without the latest iCar rumors. This is a rumor that has been going on for years – it’s in the same territory as the long rumored Apple television.
Whether the Apple is a car or car software, no one knows for sure, but Apple has certainly had a team working on the project over the years.
