What is everyone hoping will be released in 2024?

[Awahwah]

iPhone 16 Pro for me. My 13 Pro isn’t struggling in any way but by the time the 16 is released it will be 3 years old.

 

[clv101]

An AI assistant.

Yes! I'm hoping that Siri gets smartened up with something like Inflections Pi.AI.

Specifically, I'd like an M3 Pro Mac Mini, with 32GB, hopefully for no more than £1700!

 

[explicit4u]

USB-C 16 Mini please, might even settle for an updated SE. Make it a little thicker and put a decent battery in it too.

 

[Illusion]

Maybe AirPods Max 2 and a look at the new iPad lineup since I use my Air that’s 2-3 years old way more than I expected I would (although mostly for watching YouTube and reading books so it probably doesn’t need upgrading)

While I love my 2021 14” M1 Pro a more powerful one wouldn’t gain me much since the bigger workloads I do tend to be virtualisation on x86 servers, so I should be able to get a few more years out of it easily

 

[Cleisthenes]

Ipad Pro with an Oled screen along with an air tag 2 with a much louder speaker!

I actually find the current AirTag speaker quite loud! Not sure it’s one of those devices which they can do much with year on year, other than improving the range for Bluetooth finder thing.

 

[pingwing]

USB-C everything else, will get out a 2 year phone cycle early for a normal priced phone with it.

Possibly M3 MacBook Air or M4 mbp to scratch that I didn't pull the trigger 2 months ago itch and want it...

But the space on the top of a HomePod is about 2" at most, what can that usefully display? The weather?

You're not going be reading recipes or watching shows on that!

Im thinking it most likely will be an iPad mini stuck on top of it.

Yeah something like this

Apple Could Announce “HomePod Max” with Bigger Display, Smart Home Features, and Apple TV Integration - Yanko Design

It's all but confirmed that Apple's been working on a Max version of their HomePod speaker. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo mentioned earlier this year that Apple has internally developed their larger HomePod model, but has held back on releasing it - with a hopeful debut by or before 2024. Hinting at a...

Surprising to hear that, for me its sufficient when at home but if you misplace an item outside or at work the background noise makes it inaudible.

 

[Stu999]

I absolutely do not need any new products however I would be tempted by an M3 Mac mini and a new SE if it was more in line with the current design language (narrower bezels, Face ID, etc.).

 

[Hutch]

MBA with M3. I would have got one with M2 but then they went and shipped pro with M3 which put me off..

Couldn't see any point upgrading from my iphone 13 pro max to a 15 so hopefully the 16 will have something to offer.

 

[BinnsY]

I'm also hoping for an M3 MBA. I really hope it will be bumped to 16gb (even 12gb) of RAM at the base spec though. I managed to get my M1 close to alunch for £830 from the edu store and that felt like a really fair price. Everything thats come after has felt much mor expensive with deals being no where near as good though. I just cant justify upgrading when the 16gb ram upgrades make it so expensive. If M3 comes along at 16gb/512 as standard for either £999 or maybe even £1099 I'd probably jump.

 

[eurokage]

M3 MBA that can handle more than 1 additional external display.

There’s also this - https://www.macworld.com/article/676817/homepod-with-screen-rumours-and-release-date.html

I’m just not seeing the benefit of it?

I get a glance you can see the weather/cal/time(r) etc but i’m struggling. I‘d just use my ipad and save a few hundred.

 

[Cromulent]

My hope is that AirPods Max 2 will come out at the same time as Vision Pro and from rumours that could be January / Febuary.

Google Nest Hub Max. Give me that in Apple form and I’ll kit the house out with them.

 

[koolpc]

A cheaper ipad air!!!

 

[stuman]

iPhone se3 based on the 13mini chassis.

I'd quite like to see something akin to the Pixel charging dock, but I doubt it'd happen when only the pro models have the pins on the back

 

[Spleen Sauce]

An Apple Watch Ultra 3, black (or darker than it currently is), with 5 day battery life without the need for power saving modes, ANT+ sensor support and on-board topo maps.

It’ll never happen, but that’s what I want.

 

[HACO]

M2/M3 iPad Air with Mini-LED and ProMotion, or shall I say, AirMotion!

When the Pros move to OLED I hope Mini-LED comes to the Air lineup.
