What’s on the Horizon for Apple in 2023? We now venture into the exciting realm of Apple’s forthcoming releases, divided into categories such as Mac, iPad, iPhone, and potential new product categories. Join us on this journey to discover what lies ahead.
Upcoming Macs With the Mac Pro’s upgrade at WWDC in June 2023, Apple successfully transitioned its entire Mac lineup from Intel processors to its proprietary silicon. However, several Macs await their second-generation Apple silicon makeover. Here’s what we eagerly anticipate:
iMac with M3 It’s high time for a fresh iMac iteration. While the existing iMac still runs on the M1 chip, the rest of the lineup has embraced Apple’s second-generation Mac chips. The iMac is undoubtedly overdue for an upgrade. Rumors suggest Apple might leapfrog the M2 and go straight to the M3 for the iMac—an exciting prospect.
We also harbor hopes for a Pro version of the iMac, possibly resurrecting the 27-inch iMac Pro. Reports indicate the possibility of an M3 Pro iMac, although we might need to exercise some patience for this one.

MacBook Air with M3 There’s a buzz about Apple potentially updating the 13-inch MacBook Air with an M3 chip before doing the same for the 15-inch model. It’s an intriguing possibility, but the timeline might extend into spring 2024.

Anticipated New iPads While Apple made substantial updates in 2022, one iPad model remained untouched. Let’s explore the possibilities for 2023 and beyond:
iPad Mini We anticipate the arrival of the seventh-generation iPad Mini in 2023.
Apple iPad Mini (6th Generation): with A15 Bionic chip, 8.3-inch Liquid Retina Display, 64GB, Wi-Fi 6, 12MP front/12MP Back Camera, Touch ID, All-Day Battery Life – Space Gray
Expansive iPad Pro There are murmurs in the tech sphere about a 14-inch iPad Pro making its debut from Apple’s workshop before the close of 2023. However, we might need to hold our breath until 2024 for this larger offering.
When? Spring 2024
Apple iPad Pro 11-inch (4th Generation): with M2 chip, Liquid Retina Display, 128GB, Wi-Fi 6E, 12MP front/12MP and 10MP Back Cameras, Face ID, All-Day Battery Life – Silver
Fresh iPhones on the Horizon It’s almost a given that a new series of iPhones will grace us in September 2023.
iPhone 15 The iPhone 15 (alongside its Plus, Pro, and Pro Max variants) is poised to follow its traditional September release schedule in 2023. There’s even talk of renaming the iPhone 15 Pro Max to the iPhone 15 Ultra.
When? September 2023
iPhone SE While it’s a bit of a long shot, past rumors hinted at the possibility of Apple launching an expanded version of the iPhone SE Plus. This would cater to those seeking a larger iPhone with a Home button. However, this prospect doesn’t appear to be a focal point for Apple now.

Regrettably, the future of the iPhone SE is uncertain. Reports suggest that an update is “unlikely” before 2025. If such an update materializes with a larger screen size and the absence of a Home button, it might disappoint those drawn to the classic iPhone SE’s charm.
New AirPods The AirPods Max have long been due for an update, especially considering their current inability to support lossless audio. While there isn’t a flurry of rumors surrounding them at the moment, we might find ourselves pleasantly surprised at the September Apple event.

There are also whispers about AirPods Lite—a pair of $99 AirPods. Their potential launch in 2023 remains uncertain, and we may need to wait until 2024 to see them on the market. In the interim, an upgrade to the AirPods charging case, featuring a new USB-C connection
