For an Apple fan, the year 2024 promises to be a long one. And we’ve only been here a few hours. Luckily, We won’t have to wait long for the wave of product launches to begin.. Starting, nothing more and nothing less, with the long-awaited Apple Vision Pro.
So, in order to make the wait easier, we would like to start this new year by reviewing the big Apple releases we’re waiting for for these months. All based on the most notable leaks we’ve had in recent weeks.
The Apple Vision Pro is already heating up and could see the light of day in February
The presentation of Apple glasses took place at WWDC 2023 last summer, although the company has already announced that they will not be released until 2024. So far they have not released further data, but their technical sheet was recently leaked. with the VisionPro.
According to Mark Gurman, one of the most reliable leakers and who we have already told you about is the protagonist of this post, The Vision Pro are already in production and will arrive in stores in February. At least that’s what the company is currently planning, which is already training its employees in stores and designing test areas.
The bad news, aside from its high price of $3,500, is that they won’t be available in USA. For the moment. It is unclear whether they will eventually land in markets other than the United States throughout the year or by 2025, or whether they will ultimately refuse to do so until the arrival of a hypothetical second generation, as happened with the first iPhone.
What’s good is that we will finally be able to receive feedback from the general public and, with Apple, start testing what the real interest is in products of this type and to what extent Apple convinces with its technology. However, Apple is initially expected to try to target a professional and educational audience.
It’s the year of the new iPhone SE, the most disruptive in its history

If there is no two without three, neither should there be three without four. The first generation of iPhone SE was born in 2016 with the idea of using the design of the legendary iPhone 5s with updated processors (the same as the iPhone 6s). In 2020, he returned with the idea of resuming the design of an iPhone 8 with iPhone 11 processors, with a last generation in 2022 without design variation, but with a processor and 5G like the iPhone 13. It is now time for the next step.
The iPhone SE4 will finally change to a more modern design According to the leaks, inspired by an iPhone an A16 Bionic identical to that of the iPhone 14 Pro, although an A15 like the aforementioned iPhone 14 is not ruled out.
Unless there is a surprise, this phone will be announced and launched on the market in Marchthis is when Apple traditionally takes the opportunity to launch this range of iPhones.
After a year without an iPad, it’s time to renew them all in 2024
Not since 2010, when the original model was launched, has Apple closed a calendar year without launching a single new iPad. 2023 was like that, but one good iPad fireworks from all ranges for 2024. Or at least almost all of them. The only doubtful one is the iPad mini 7.
On the one hand we have the Gama the iPad Air with two new iPad Air 6. And we speak in the plural because the leaks point to two models, one with a 10.9 inch screen like the previous ones and a larger one reaching 12.9 inches. As a processor they would mount an M2 which would further improve performance compared to the current iPad Air 5 with M1.
On the other hand, we will find a new generation of iPad Pro which on this occasion would bring an M3 chip. What has been leaked for these is a design change that would come with new accessories such as the expected Apple Pencil 3 and a new Magic Keyboard with trackpad, although no details have been revealed on what will be these aesthetic changes.
These would probably happen in March accompanied by the iPhone SE 4, although it would not be during an event but rather through an announcement in a press release. Likewise, we also expect a 11th generation iPad which wouldn’t change muchbeyond upgrading your processor to an A15 or A16 Bionic.
M3 chips will arrive on Mac Studio
The Apple M3s were announced less than two months ago and are present in both the MacBook Pro and the new iMac M3. Unless there is a surprise, the M4 chips will not arrive this year. However, it is expected that The M3 series debuts on the rest of the Macs that remained with the M2.
In this regard, a new Mac Studio is expected with M3 Max and M3 Ultra. This last chip is the only one in the series that remains to be presented and will be The most powerful Apple processor yet. So much so that it is also expected to debut on the Mac Pro, replacing the current Mac Pro M2 Ultra.
Likewise, it is expected that the latest M2 MacBook Air and 15-inch MacBook Air will also receive their corresponding update along with the base M3. And among these, as among the others already mentioned, no cosmetic changes expected and they would be limited to “simple” brain updates.
Of course, the stars will once again be the iPhone 16

No, we forget what will surely be Apple’s flagship products in 2024: the four new high-end iPhones. The iPhone 16 family will once again consist of four members: iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max. It remains to be seen whether the top-ranked model is called “Pro Max” or “Ultra”, although the latest leaks rule this out.
Of everything that has leaked so far, the the main new features will be in the ‘Pro’, which would receive a 0.2 inch increase in their screen, reaching 6.3 and 6.9 inches respectively. Also periscope cameras with greater zoom and better brightness in both models.
Likewise, the The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus would bring with them the new action button that the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max have already brought. Nor would it be the only improvement, also the processor, on which we would focus once again Same base chip as ‘Pro’ models. At least that’s what they were able to discover on MacRumors based on an iOS 18 code leak.
There are no surprises here regarding the dates, since September will once again be the month chosen by Apple to present the new iPhones top of the line. Of course, it cannot be ruled out at this stage that all four models will hit the market at the same time this month.
