Every new Apple product coming in 2024
Over the past few years, Apple has overhauled its entire product range, including transitioning the Mac from Intel to its own processors, introducing the tough Apple Watch Ultra, adding a new Plus model to the iPhone lineup, and revealing a brand-new product category (the yet-to-launch Vision Pro).
In this article, we take a look at what we expect Apple to launch in 2024 and beyond. We have investigated every rumor and trend we could find to bring you our predictions. Read on to find out what could be in store.
New iPhones and Apple Watches are expected at an Apple event on September 9. See How to watch Apple’s iPhone 16 ‘Glowtime’ event and read our Apple’s Glowtime event live blog during the event.
What new Apple products are coming in 2024?
So far in 2024 Apple has released the following new products:
Apple launched the Vision Pro headset in the U.S. on February 2.
The M3 MacBook Air launched on March 4.
The M2 iPad Air, the M4 iPad Pro, and the Apple Pencil Pro all launched on May 7.
We still haven’t seen an M3 or M3 Pro Mac mini, Mac Studio or Mac Pro (despite the M3 becoming available and the M4 arriving with the iPad Pro), only the AirPods Pro (and EarPods) are equipped with USB-C for charging, and the annual iPhone and Apple Watch updates are also imminent. What else can we expect to see in 2024?
In the sections below we’ve split products into categories including Mac, iPad, iPhone and some new product categories. Read on to find out what to expect at Apple next event, throughout the rest of the year, and in 2025.

New iPhones
The arrival of a new set of iPhones is likely to happen in September 2024. Expect Apple to unveil the new models at Apple’s 2024 iPhone event on September 9.

iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro
The iPhone 16 is likely to arrive, like clockwork, in September 2024. Expect larger displays on the Pro models, a new 48Mp ultrawide lens, a touch-sensitive “camera control” on the side, and a new Action button.

When? 9 September 2024
iPhone SE
Don’t expect to see this in September, but there have been a few rumors about the iPhone SE. A supposed leak revealed a bigger screen, notch and Face ID, for example.
This isn’t the first we’ve heard of a bigger version of the iPhone SE. The question is, will it still feature the Home button? Read about the iPhone SE Plus.

When? Spring 2025
New AirPods
The AirPods Max are desperately in need of an update. Will they get an update in 2024? Unfortunately, there aren’t any noisy rumors about them right now.
There are rumors about a new cheaper AirPods model, dubbed AirPods Lite by some. These are said to cost $99 and could arrive alongside 4th-gen AirPods in 2024.
The wait for new AirPods Pro, however, could stretch to 2025. They could offer new health-related features when they arrive.

When? Late 2024
New Apple Watch
We expect that Apple will launch an Apple Watch Series 10, said to have a larger screen, and a third-generation Apple Watch Ultra with a new black/dark color scheme, on September 9, 2024. Both will feature a new S10 chip.
A third-gen Apple Watch SE is also possible with screen size changes too.

When? September 9, 2024
New Macs
With the update for the Mac Pro at WWDC in June 2023 Apple finished transitioning all its Macs from Intel processors to its own silicon. Apple launched the M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max chips at the end of October 2023. The M3 MacBook Air launched since, but the rest of the Mac range has been silent this year, despite the M4 arriving in the iPad! We can expect the following updates soon:
Mac mini & Mac mini Pro
Now that the iMac has an M3 chip, and the MacBook Pro an M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max chip, the arrival of those chips in the Max mini is long over due. Except that the rumors indicate that the Mac mini update is going to feature an M4 chip, and we may see it before the end of 2024. However, there are also rumors that the Mac mini is getting a new, smaller design, in which case the wait could be a little longer.

When? Late 2024
Mac Studio
The next on the list for update will be the Mac Studio, also likely to bypass the M3 and jump straight to the M4 Max and M4 Ultra.
Read: M3 Mac Studio rumors.
When? Late 2024
Mac Pro
If the Mac Studio is getting an update with the M4 Max and M4 Ultra you can rest assured that the Mac Pro will too.

When? Late 2024
iMac Pro
There is a new iMac with M3 chip, but it’s still got a 24-inch screen. What people want is a return of a more professional iMac with a bigger screen.
Apple is said to be working on a Pro version of the iMac, a return of the 27-inch iMac Pro perhaps. It sounds like an M4 Pro iMac might happen, but we could be waiting a little longer for that one.

When? 2025
New iPads

No iPads were updated in 2023 – the first time a year passed without an iPad update. There was one iPad that wasn’t even updated in 2022—the iPad mini—so that looks the most likely for an imminent update. But the whole range is probably headed for a refresh this year, and that process started on May 7, when we got new Airs and Pros.
iPad mini
A new iPad mini (7th generation) could be coming soon.
Read: iPad mini 7th gen rumors
When? Late 2024
11th-gen iPad
The latest standard iPad joined the lineup as long ago as October 2022 so a new model can be expected in 2024. Note that the 9th-gen model was retired on May 7, with the 10th-gen model remaining on sale at a lower price. We’d expect the 11th-gen iPad to roughly match its predecessor’s old price when it launches.
When? Late 2024
New product categories
If Apple was never to innovate away from the products it makes right now it could be left behind as technology progresses. It’s no surprise therefore that the company is working on various new areas. We don’t expect these to land in 2023, but rumors suggest that some of them still could arrive sooner rather than later.
HomePod with screen
We do hope there is some truth in the rumors that Apple is working on a HomePod with a screen. We’ve always said that a screen would make the HomePod infinitely more usable, but perhaps we are the only ones who hate having to talk to our speaker and control the HomePod via an iPhone (which can be a drain on the battery).
A screen would extend the uses of the HomePod beyond audio into visual – so you could watch podcasts and news reports and YouTube videos, but most usefully communicate via FaceTime.
So far all Apple has done is brought back the full-size HomePod that it removed from sale.

When? Late 2024/Spring 2025

Vision Pro successor
The Vision Pro is pricy and a little cumbersome, but Apple is said to be at work on two updated models: a less-expensive version, and another high-end model. Perhaps “Vision Pro 2” and “Vision Air?”
Don’t expect them soon, though. Rumors vary, but none of them say that new Vision hardware is due until at least 2025, maybe even 2026.
We do hope to get news as to when Apple will release the current Vision Pro around the world soon. Read our When will the Vision Pro launch outside the US.
When? 2025 or later
What Apple released in 2023
Apple hit the ground running in 2023 with new Macs and a new HomePod in January. Then at WWDC in June the company launched no less than three new Macs and a brand new device – the Vision Pro – alongside revealing its plans for macOS 14 Sonoma, iOS 17 and watchOS 10. Finally (maybe) Apple launched the new iPhone 15 series and the Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 at an event in September and then made macOS Sonoma and iOS 17 available for customers to download later that month.
