September started with one of the biggest launches of the year: the iPhone 15 Pro is now real. A measured evolution that led to the “understated” iPhone 15, which is considered the most attractive models of this generation in terms of quality and price. According to Gurman, everything has a meaning, the main course will be served next year.

2024 will be the year of the iPhone with the largest screen size, the launch of Apple Vision Pro, the Apple Watch with the biggest redesign in its history, and major redesigns in the iPad family. These are analyst’s predictions about the next course of events.

iPhone 16 with larger screen. iPhones are “planned to have slightly larger screens next year.” According to Gurman, it is almost inevitable that the iPhone 16 family will grow in panel size. The information matches that suggested by Kuo, which points to a growth of 6.3 inches for the iPhone 16 Pro and 6.9 inches for the Max model.

However, there is not much indication that there may be a leap in technology (switching to microLED) or an increase in features such as refresh rate. Likewise, it’s worth noting that a jump in display would make it easier to introduce larger batteries and new components in next-generation iPhones.

A historic Apple Watch. Apple Watch is approaching its tenth anniversary, and everything points to a major refresh. A design never seen before in the Watch family, blood pressure measurement and artificial intelligence-supported exercises. According to Gurman, the Apple Watch “X” will be the “biggest overhaul ever” to an Apple watch, also expected in 2024 (although it may be delayed until 2025).

iPads won’t be left behind either. The iPad Pro family is also about to undergo a big change: The biggest refresh in its life cycle is planned. 2024 models are expected to switch to the Apple M3 chip. As for the panel, there will be at least two models with 11 and 12.9 inch OLED displays.

In addition to the significant changes at the hardware level, the design will also be significantly renewed; it’s a leap that often costs Apple much more spaced-out refresh cycles, especially when it comes to iPads.

AI support. In addition to hardware products, Gurman suggests that a commitment to artificial intelligence will be one of Apple’s biggest breakthroughs: They want to enter the race for productive AI. Along with its own language models, the company will be working on an internal tool called “Apple GPT.”

These advances will not only completely change the way Siri works, but will also have direct impacts on the way Apple devices work. New features, improvements to native apps (camera, translator, notes, gallery app, etc.).
