Marty Edwards — Apple World Today

I think Apple will introduce a larger MacBook Pro with the next generation of the M chip. I think they will add four USB-C ports to this larger MacBook. There will perhaps be a new iMac based upon the M chip. I expect an updated Mac mini with additional i/o ports.

As far as other hardware, I think there will be updates to the iPad and Apple Watch. I am expecting to see a new Apple TV since the latest one dates back to 2017. I feel the updated Apple TV will use the M series chip to provide a much more robust gaming experience.

Software

iOS 15 is pretty much guaranteed. The question is what changes or additions will be done. After seeing the great popularity of widgets and screen customization, I think Apple will expand upon this. At this point, I don’t expect major changes to iOS in order to help maintain continuity and stability.

One area Apple might expand upon is Siri Shortcuts. I use the personal automations to send regular iMessages and other automation. I am hoping that Apple will expand upon iOS automation.

The next version of macOS, watchOS, and iPadOS will be introduced. I feel all will be mostly incremental updates with a focus on stability.

Services

Apple is pushing into services in a huge way with Apple One. I expect one area of services that Apple might push into is to combine the current Apple One services with hardware. They might offer one price for a new iPhone each year with one of their top tier of services.
