Apple is gearing up for significant upgrades to its wearable devices in 2024, as reported by Mark Gurman from Bloomberg. The spotlight next year is set on the Apple AirPods, Watches, and the Vision Pro headset. Notably, the iPhone line is anticipated to undergo only cosmetic changes, with no major alterations expected.
Expected Upgrades to Apple iPhone 16 Models
According to insights provided in a recent Bloomberg report, Apple’s approach to the iPhone 16 models centers around preserving a design closely aligned with the current generation. The key modification anticipated in the smartphone lineup is the introduction of an expanded screen size exclusive to the Pro variant, promising an immersive visual experience for users. Furthermore, the non-Pro models are poised to integrate the Action button, a feature initially introduced in the Pro variants this year, enhancing functionality across the entire iPhone 16 range.
Moreover, Apple is set to introduce another noteworthy enhancement across the iPhone 16 models—a dedicated button for video recording. This addition is expected to streamline the user experience, providing users with quick and convenient access to video recording functionality, and demonstrating their commitment to improving user accessibility and enhancing the overall performance of their flagship smartphones. As they continue to innovate, these anticipated changes signify a balance between maintaining the familiar and introducing valuable upgrades to meet the evolving needs of users.
Apple’s Dual Approach to AirPods and AirPod Max
Contrastingly, a comprehensive transformation is on the horizon for Apple’s lower-end AirPods in 2024. Anticipated changes include an updated design, a redesigned case, and the integration of a USB Type-C charging port in the non-Pro models. Moreover, the mid-tier model is poised to incorporate Pro-like features, including Active Noise Cancellation, marking a substantial upgrade in the AirPods lineup.
According to Gurman’s recent report, Apple is gearing up to make your listening experience even better with exciting updates for the AirPod Max headphones. Imagine faster and more convenient charging with the incorporation of USB-C – a feature that aligns seamlessly with modern connectivity standards. But that’s not all – Apple is adding a splash of personality by introducing new color options, letting you match your style with your audio gear.
And that’s not the only innovation in the pipeline. Tim cook is actively working on a game-changer – bringing hearing aid functionality to your audio devices. This groundbreaking feature is expected to debut in late 2024, initially on specific audio devices from Apple. It’s a move towards greater inclusivity, ensuring that technology doesn’t just meet but enhances your unique needs. So get ready for a more personalized and accessible audio experience, as they continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of sound.
Expected for 2025, the AirPods Pro are set to undergo an update incorporating innovative features like body-temperature monitoring and advanced health tracking capabilities.
