Apple may have a lot coming our way in 2023, if the latest rumors are to be believed. We could see everything from a 15-inch MacBook Air to an M3 iMac to a VR headset. While this is exciting, it may mean that the end of the year will be left more bare, with no Apple event scheduled for October. Show
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman dropped the report about the apparent lack of an Apple event in his weekly newsletter, Power On, over the weekend. Gurman is considered a highly accurate source for reports on future Apple products, so when he says there will be no Apple event next month, you can depend on it.  “Next year should be pretty jam-packed for Apple.” Gurman said in his newsletter. “Look for a 15-inch MacBook Air, new M3 iMac, the Mac Pro, updated HomePod, Reality Pro headset, and a larger iPad.” He also said there may be a combined Apple TV/HomePod device with a FaceTime camera built-in coming later next year. A refreshed M3 iMac is particularly interesting for Apple watchers. Early 2021 saw the iMac get a complete redesign with the then-new M1 chip, and while Apple has redesigned the Mac Mini, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air lineups since then, the iMac has been left behind. Also of note was news of the much-anticipated AR/VR headset from Apple. This is supposedly going to be a lightweight but highly functional headset with a wraparound design and tons of cameras for hand tracking. Gurman earlier reported it would be called either Reality One or Reality Pro. It was originallyslated for October this year, but Apple analyst Ming Chi-Kuo suggested the release would be pushed to 2023, which lines up with what Gurman has said. The HomePod is due for a refresh. Apple pulled the original 2018 HomePod and replaced it with the HomePod Mini in 2020. Audiophiles who loved the HomePod have been left in the lurch ever since. An updated iPad is also due. Gurman says these will be larger than the current crop of iPads and the Pro models will include the M2 chip. We may see these quietly released in October without all the fanfare of an event. Gurman said there wasn’t enough to release next month to justify an entire event, so Apple will instead update its website with the new iPads and a new M2-powered MacBook Pro. We’ll keep an eye on Apple’s site and let you know the moment we see new devices. We’ll all need to wait until next spring or summer to really find out what Apple has in store for us.

We’re still a few months – and at least one more major announcement by Apple – away before the calendar ticks to 2023. In the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, however, Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman has detailed some of the hardware announcements he expects from Apple in 2023. Here is the exact wording by Gurman:
9to5Mac brings an in-depth look at these future announcements: These are the Macs users should expect in 2023There are at least three main Macs Apple will unveil next year: the 15-inch MacBook Air, a new M3 iMac, and the upcoming Mac Pro. The 15-inch MacBook Air was first rumored by DSCC Ross Young. According to him, Apple is planning a new variant of the MacBook Air for 2023 that will feature a screen size of around 15 inches. The company is also reportedly planning to increase the display of the current 13.3-inch MacBook Air to something that is “slightly larger” but still between 13 inches and 14 inches. Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman said Apple has skipped the M2 iMac to focus on a new M3 iMac. It’s not clear whether there will be a design change or just some hardware upgrades. For the Mac Pro, Apple said at the beginning of the year that it was working on the new, high-end Mac device, but no other word has been heard from the company. Updated HomePod is also in the worksGurman reported on the new HomePod in June. Codenamed B620, this new speaker will run the Apple Watch Series 8 chip, the S8 processor – which has the same speeds as the Series 6 chip. It’s unclear how different it will perform compared to the A8 chip on the original HomePod. The HomePod mini, which is important to note, features the S5 chip. The S6 processor is around 20% faster than its previous generation. Here’s what Gurman reported at the time:
Reality Pro Headset will finally be unveiledThe long-rumored Apple Glasses is also making its debut in 2023. After years of wait, Apple will likely be ready to introduce its Mixed Reality Headset next year. In a DSCC paper, analysts believe Apple’s Mixed Reality headset will feature an “innovative three-display configuration,” with two micro OLED 4K displays and another AMOLED panel for low-resolution peripheral vision. Not only that, but it will likely include a powerful mobile CPU and GPU in the headset. It will feature a Mac chip and will be very pricey, according to rumors.

It will likely be a 14-inch iPad Pro. He reported almost a year ago that Apple was exploring future iPad designs with larger screens, saying that such a product was “a couple of years down the road,” then, in June, DSCC‘s Ross Young corroborates that timeline while offering additional details. Young tweeted:
For the Apple TV + HomePod + FaceTime device, Gurman has talked about this product for a while. It will likely be an Amazon Echo Show rival, and you can learn more about it here.

Is there a new MacBook Pro coming out in 2023?Gurman initially said the notebooks could see a launch in late 2022, but he later said that Apple had decided not to introduce the new machines until 2023. At this point, we are expecting a 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro refresh in early 2023.
