This could be the perfect mid-tier model, blending style and functionality without the hefty Pro price tag. Rumors suggest the iPhone Air will be just 5mm thin, making it dramatically slimmer than current models. It's expected to feature a 6.6-inch display, sitting comfortably between the base iPhone 17 and the Pro models. with a resolution that promises crisp visuals.
On the design front, it may use less titanium to maintain its ultra-slim profile, and it could have just a single rear camera, signaling a focus on simplicity and portability rather than pro-level photography. Under the hood, expect an A19 chip offering solid performance that bridges the gap between standard and pro models. Price rumors vary, but it's likely this model will aim to provide a premium feel without the Pro Max price tag.
Apple's entry-level iPhone SE might have had a lukewarm reception in 2022, but all eyes are now on the rumored iPhone SE 4, expected to drop in 2025. With leaks hinting at a significant overhaul, this budget-friendly device could be getting a serious upgrade. With whispers suggesting a complete redesign, the SE 4 might finally ditch the aging iPhone 6 chassis for something sleeker, like the iPhone 13 mini. or even an iPhone 14-inspired design with a 6.1-inch OLED display.

adding a USB-C charging case and better dustproofing, but no major upgrades. But according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, 2024 is going to be different. He's hinted that Apple is gearing up for a big overhaul of the AirPods lineup, starting this year and continuing into 2025. Let's start with the AirPods 4.

According to leaks, the AirPods 4 will feature a new design with shorter stems, resembling a mix between the current third-gen AirPods and AirPods Pro. But here's where it gets interesting. Apple is rumored to introduce two versions this time around. One will be a lower-cost model, while the other will offer active noise cancellation, a feature that's been exclusive to the AirPods Pro until now.
Both models will come with upgraded USB-C charging cases, and the higher-end version will also include a built-in speaker for Find My Alerts. making it easier to locate your earbuds. Plus, there's a buzz about potential hearing aid functionality, making these AirPods not just a great music accessory, but also a practical tool. If you're an AirPods fan, this could be the year to upgrade. Next, we have the much-anticipated update to the AirPods Max.
These premium headphones first launched in 2020, and as we roll into 2024, they're definitely showing their age. Especially compared to rivals like Apple's own Beat Studio Pro, the AirPods Max still can't handle Apple's lossless audio, and their bulky, non-foldable design feels outdated. Fans have been clamoring for a lighter, foldable model, a more functional case, and support for wired listening through a USB-C to 3.5mm audio cable.
Rumors suggest we might finally see some changes in 2024. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is planning to refresh the AirPods Max with a USB-C port and possibly some new colors.

Design-wise, we're hearing that the AirPods Pro 3 could stick to the familiar white Rounded square case but might feature a more compact design.
And with the second-gen AirPods Pro already transitioning to USB-C, the AirPods Pro 3 is likely to continue this trend, possibly even ditching wired charging altogether for a fully wireless experience. On the tech side, expect under-the-hood upgrades, like the new H3 headphone chip and improved noise cancellation. We might also see features like adaptive audio and personalized volume paying. carried over from the recent software update. Whether you're an audiophile or just love the latest tech, the AirPods Pro 3 is shaping up to be one of Apple's most exciting releases in the coming year.

Rumors suggest Apple is planning a major redesign, making the watch thinner than ever before. There's also talk of a new magnetic band attachment system, which could make swapping out bands easier.

And let's not forget the potential for larger screens. Both the standard sizes are set to increase.
with the smaller model matching the current larger size and the larger one approaching the Ultra's screen size. Plus, the new S10 chip will power these changes, possibly setting the stage for future advancements in Apple's health and AI technology. Since its debut in 2022, the watch Ultra has become a fan favorite, and this year's model is looking to build on that success. While the design isn't expected to change much, this model will still bring some exciting updates.
The rugged, chunky body we know from the Ultra and Ultra 2 is here to stay. But this time, the display is getting an upgrade a 2.12-inch screen up from 1.93 inches. That's a noticeable jump, giving you even more screen real estate on your wrist. Now, about the tech. While rumors initially pointed to a switch to microLED, it seems Apple is sticking with the tried-and-true LTPO OLED, which is still great for energy efficiency and always-on display features.
The Ultra 3 will likely feature the new S10 chip, bringing incremental improvements in speed and efficiency, possibly paving the way for future updates. future AI enhancements. However, new health features like blood pressure monitoring and sleep apnea detection may not make it into this year's model due to some development hurdles.

And while the color options remain a mystery, Apple could introduce some fresh hues to keep things exciting.

Now, this isn't the flashy flagship device, but it's Apple's most accessible iPad and a critical part of their lineup. The 10th Gen iPad was a major overhaul, so don't expect anything as dramatic this time around.
Instead, we're likely to see a series of thoughtful upgrades that continue to make this iPad an excellent value. One of the biggest changes could be under the hood with an upgraded chip. The 10th Gen iPad runs on the A14 chipset, so it's not a stretch to predict the 11th Gen might step up to the A16, making it faster and more efficient for everyday tasks. As for storage, Apple may finally bump up the base storage from 64GB to 128GB.
A long-overdue upgrade for a device they market as a laptop replacement.
