Below is a quick summary of the most important Apple news for 2023 from this standpoint, especially hardware and software innovations.

Apple's 2023 has started relatively early. Apple was able to present the first hardware innovations on January 17 and, along with the new Mac processors M2 Pro and M2 Max, also presented new versions of the MacBook Pro and Mac mini.

And in the event… iPhone 15 models – the The professional versions, this time with a titanium case – Beside New versions of Apple Watch gifts. The innovations accompanied the official release of iOS 17 and watchOS 10.
The most important side note: With the new generation of iPhones, Apple is saying goodbye to the Lightning port as a long-term companion, not least affected by the legal requirements announced in the European Union, and is relying on USB-C as a new interface for charging and data exchange.
October brings new Macs again

Have you noticed that we haven't seen a new iPad in the last 12 months? The year 2023 will make history in this regard, as Apple has been innovating in this area of products every year since the introduction of the first iPad in 2010. Against this background, next spring is even more favorable for innovations in the iPad field.
2024 will be marked by the Apple Vision Pro
There is no doubt that the Apple Vision Pro data glasses will be in the spotlight in 2024. Apple is diving into a completely new category of devices, which is certainly associated with many risks but is perhaps just as important and plausible. With its incredibly powerful processors, Apple can literally explore new worlds. We will certainly be able to judge better in a year whether this path actually leads to the future.
Wishing you a lovely celebration and a good start, we wish you all the best in 2024!
