The Apple Vision Pro has clearly been Apple’s top priority this year, but the tech giant hasn’t let mixed reality distract it from its iPhones, MacBooks and iMacs, with fresh speculation predicting at least 18 new devices next year.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman is the source for Apple’s supposed roadmap, and while most of the products have already been discussed, seeing them all in one place is useful for any potential consumer of Apple technology.
Naturally, the four rumored iPhone 15 variants and revisions to the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra are a lock for Apple’s traditional September event.
But with MacBooks, iMacs, iPads, and even new products like a smart home display supposedly in the works, there’s a lot to understand. So you can figure out if you should start saving (and when to trade in your old iPhone), we’ve broken down all the Apple product launch rumors below.
According to Bloomberg and previous speculation, Apple will release the following 18 new devices throughout the remainder of 2023 and through 2024.
iPhone 15 (four models)
- iPhone 15 / iPhone 15 Plus
- iPhone 15 Pro/iPhone 15 Pro Max
Apple almost always introduces new iPhones at its annual September event, and we anticipate four iPhone 15 varieties launching during this time period.
Bloomberg’s report contains no new information on this front, but the most recent rumors point to an iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The current iPhone 14 launched on September 7, with three of its four models following a week later, so we can anticipate a similar release schedule for the iPhone 15 series.
Apple Watch (three models)
- Apple Watch Series 9 (41mm and 45mm)
- Apple Watch Ultra 2
As noted above, the Bloomberg article anticipates that “two Apple Watch Series 9 models and an updated version of the Ultra” will launch later this year, with codenames for all three items (N207, N208, and N210) offered. to back up those rumors. .
There have been few definitive details on what to expect from these three watches thus far. The biggest leak so far (captured by this MacRumors story) claims that the Apple Watch 9 will be the same size as the Apple Watch 8, with case sizes of 41mm and 45mm.
Early reports (like this one from DigiTimes) have indicated that the Apple Watch Ultra 2 will have a larger 2.1-inch screen than the current model, as well as a switch from OLED to micro-LED technology. All three anticipated Apple Watches are expected to launch in September, along with the iPhone 15.
What about the SE model of the Apple Watch? This less expensive model doesn’t normally get an annual update, and with the most recent update arriving in 2022, a new version this year seems unlikely.
MacBook Pro (three models)

- 16-inch MacBook Pro (M3 Pro, M3 Max)

While the iPhone 15 and Apple Watch Series 9 are almost certain to appear this year, the rest of Bloomberg’s projections (including three MacBook Pros) fall into a more confusing release date zone, with the post merely suggesting that ” They can come later.”
Still, there are code names to back up the claim that three M3-powered MacBook Pros are in the works: the 13-inch MacBook Pro (M3), 14-inch MacBook Pro (M3), and 16-inch MacBook Pro. (M3). , with code names J504, J514 and J516.
However, it’s unlikely we’ll see them until 2024. We recently stated that Apple M3 chip rumors shouldn’t deter you from buying a MacBook Pro with an M2 Pro processor, and that’s still true: a 2024 version for the M3 will fall into the schedule that Apple introduced with the M1.
So even if the M2 is rumored to be an interim chip, it still has plenty of life, especially considering Apple was rumored to have temporarily suspended manufacturing of the M2 chip earlier this year.
iMacs (three models)
- 24-inch iMac
- Bigger iMac in the early stages
Bloomberg predicts that the iMac (2023) will be available in two 24-inch variants and that an update to Apple’s iMac will be released later this year. This would imply that they would have the same 24-inch screen size as the current iMac.
The last iMac was introduced in 2021, so this update has been a long time coming. This long delay is probably due to the fact that the new models will be powered by an M3 chip.
Still, Bloomberg reported in March that production of the new iMacs (codenamed J433 and J434) had reached “a late stage” ahead of a possible launch in the second half of this year, so a 2023 release (with the same color options as the current model) is still a possibility.
A larger-screen iMac is on the horizon, according to a recent Bloomberg report. While Apple is considering “an iMac with a screen larger than 30 inches,” it has only “done preliminary research” on this concept. It’s a shame the 27-inch iMac hasn’t been updated with an Intel processor since 2020, but it seems to be in the works.
MacBook Air (two models)

The Apple MacBook Air 15-inch (2023) was released recently, but the planned update to the 13-inch MacBook Air didn’t happen.
Although the 13-inch MacBook Air (M2, 2022) only launched last year, the Bloomberg story says that two MacBook Air models (codenamed J613 and J615) are in the works.
They are expected to be powered by Apple’s M3 chip, making a 2024 release date more likely. According to display researcher Ross Young, this update was previously believed to contain a 13.4-inch OLED panel.
iPad (three models)

According to Bloomberg, the new iPad Pros are on the way, but are unlikely to appear this year. According to Mark Gurman, “refreshed iPad Pros with OLED displays” codenamed J717 and J720 are on Apple’s roadmap. However, no timetable is specified, so we have to rely on previous rumors to get an approximation.
The 2023 iPad Pro is likely to be a major upgrade, with the OLED panels being powered by Apple’s upcoming M3 processor. Several times, we’ve heard speculation about a 14.1-inch iPad Pro display, as well as a 16-inch iPad Pro. While this may explain the predictions of the two models, it’s unlikely we’ll hear anything formal before 2024.
A relatively minor update is expected to be a new iPad Air, which Bloomberg says will “replace the current M1-based model.” Again, no release date was mentioned for this sixth-generation iPad Air, but since Apple typically works within 18-month release cycles for the Air, it could appear in September alongside the iPhone 15.
What else is the EN route?
While these 18 products appear to be the most concrete on Apple’s roadmap for releases in 2019 and 2024, the Bloomberg report also includes speculation about other products in “early development.”
These include “a third-generation version of AirPods Pro” as well as “smart displays” and other new home gear. This could indicate that Apple is developing an iPad-like competitor to the Google Pixel Tablet, the base of which gives it powerful smart display capabilities, with earlier speculation predicting a 2024 release date.
With a new Apple TV (complete with a faster processor) also expected in 2024, it seems like Apple Vision Pro hasn’t had much of an impact on the roadmap for the rest of Apple’s devices, even if we can expect pretty much everything. former. devices to integrate with Apple’s “space computer” in new ways.
