Intro we're already halfway through 2024 but Apple still has some big plans for the rest of the year we've got new larger iPhones in the works a redesigned Apple watch new pairs of airpods updated iPads and some M4 Maxs as well as maybe a surprise that's been rumored for a while but more on that a bit later in the video let's start off in chronological order of the products we are getting soonest Apple's next product launch is iPhone 16 going to be their September event which is the iPhone event every year and this time around we're getting four new models just like we have for a while we've got two lower-end iPhone 16 and 16 plus models and two higher end iPhone 16 pro and pro Max units I think the bass iPhone 16 actually looks more exciting than the pros because apple is redesigning the camera setup on the back to once again be a vertical stack which will allow you to record 3D spatial video for playback on your Apple Vision Pro Apple's also planning to add a brand new capture button below the power switch on these models so you can now have a dedicated button for taking photos and recording videos in this comes on top of Apple getting rid of the mute switch and replacing it with the action button basically Apple taking a ton of previously Pro features and bringing them down to the cheaper models Apple's going to be offering these models in a wide variety of colors this year we are hearing seven different color options including blue green yellow pink as well as purple white and black moving over to the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max these phones will largely look identical to before but with some slightly larger 6.3 and 6.9 in displays with some r laser thin edges on the back apple is once again putting their very best cameras including the 48 megap sensor on the ultra wide camera for the first time and bringing the 5x telephoto Zoom to the smaller iPhone pro this year and with that the pros are also getting the capture button for photo and video there's widely rumored to be a new rose color on the iPhone so it seems like a gold of some sort will be making a comeback and on the inside we've got a new kind of battery likely metal plated that will not only give you longer battery life but make it way easier to repair and swap out in the future but absolutely none of what I just talked about is actually the main upgrade this year it's actually going to be all of the new AI features that are enabled by the custom a18 chip on the inside that is said to have a massively upgraded neural engine for AI tasks it seems like all the Apple intelligence features that we've seen so far is just a taste of what's coming and apple is building a lot of other exclusive things for the new hardware that you will only be able to get on the iPhone 16s this fall next up the Apple watch is also Apple Watch X going to have a huge moment in 2024 as it is the watch's 10th anniversary and we've been hearing Rumblings for a while that apple is planning a series X anniversary edition and while initially we thought this would be a complete redesign and overhaul we're now hearing that it's just going to be a thinner body and a much larger display on top the sizes are said to be increasing to a bigger 45 and 49 mm respectively so the biggest regular Apple watch will be the same screen size as the Apple watch Ultra ra giving you a ton more screen real estate in the largest screens Apple has ever put on their watches and with apple bringing new AI features to the iPhone they're bringing them to the watch too is Apple is going to be introducing a new chip that is apparently better suited for AI tasks that we might not see initially but that apple is going to lay the groundwork for on the series 10 for future watches and of course the Apple watch 10 will also lean further into health and fitness this could be the first model of the Apple watch that will natively support blood pressure monitoring which is something Apple has been rumored to be working on for years but it's sort of up in the air right now whether or not that made the cut or not because we're not Apple Watch Ultra 3 just getting the Apple watch x this year we are also getting the Apple watch Ultra 3 Apple's shown us now that they plan on updating this in some way each and every year in parody with the lower end watches but this year is not sound that exciting for one we might finally get the dark titanium black color that we've been hearing about for a super long time that for some reason Apple hasn't done and on the inside there's going to be that same faster chip built for Ai and those are those are all the rumors for the Apple watch Ultra 3 no major redesign same look as before just ever so slightly better but rounding out AirPods 4 Apple September event there is one product that is getting its biggest overhaul ever and that is airpods fourth generation we're hearing the new airpods 4 will look like a cross between the current airpods 3 and airpods Pro 2 which means that for the first time apple is bringing noise cancellation to airpods for under $200 but they're doing it in a pretty unique way is it doesn't sound like they will be using the current inar design of the pros it sounds like they're going to be using the current all plastic design to implement noise cancelling somehow which admittedly sounds pretty interesting airpods 4 are also going to have the new H2 chip inside for improved audio quality and the case is getting all of the pro features from the speaker fine my the lanyard Loop and of course on the bottom USBC on these airpods so all around just looking like a killer upgrade for airpods 4 but Apple September event is just the start of the plans for the rest of 2024 and planning out all of these different events has to be super hard it's why if I was Apple I'd be using Sama who sponsored today's video because well it's the digital planner that I use for myself every day every night before bed I hop into Sama and I plan out everything I need to do tomorrow that includes all my tasks for my work and my personal life and I can lay them all out here in one place not only is the AI really good at categorizing these things as work or personal but it's also incredibly good at estimating just how long long each of these tasks will take and then I can begin time boxing them out directly on my Google Calendar that integrates with Sama so one by one I can throw all of my tasks on here and know exactly how my day is going to look and how much time exactly I'll be working basically if you've ever been struggling with time management this has made me more productive than I could have ever imagined so check out Sama using the link down below it's free to get started and they don't even ask for your credit card up front either thanks to Sama for sponsoring this one now let's get back iPad mini 7 to it okay now moving on from Apple September event there's a lot they still have to drop in October and November starting off with some new iPads the iPad Mini 7 is up first here I know it's a product that has very been nich awaiting an update and in 2024 apple is said to be delivering with a spec bump refresh of this iPad Mini with a faster ship on the inside maybe some slightly improved cameras on the front and the back and maybe some fresh color options as well as the iPad Mini was last updated in 2021 now I could car or less of the iPad Mini lives or dies I just want that to be on record but I know there's a lot of you that are excited and we have heard many rumors that the iPad Mini is getting a new version this iPad 11 year next Apple's also going to be releasing the iPad 11 an updated version of their base cheap $349 iPad available in multiple colors with a spec bump change with a faster processor as well and while initially I was confused why Apple would just be updating the processors in these iPads it clicked oh this is for apple intelligence Apple will likely be putting a ship inside of these that at minimum supports all of the new Apple intelligence features as currently neither of these iPads are getting these supported so looking at it that way two new iPads with apple intelligence features actually pretty exciting M4 Macs following the iPad Apple's also been working on some new Macs first up here apple is going to be releasing new 14 and 16in MacBook Pros with the M4 M4 Pro and M4 Max chip inside there won't be any big visual updates and likely not even any new colors it's just going to be a pretty similar processor swap situation nothing too wild for the MacBook Pros but apple is also going to be releasing a new version of the Mac Mini with the M4 and M4 Pro chip inside which is huge because there hasn't been an update in a pretty long time as well as putting the M4 chip into the 24in colorful iMac and maybe while this is not yet certain we could see The Return of the larger iMac Pro with M4 this year because we've been hearing rumors for a while that Apple not only plans to bring this computer back to the lineup reinvigorating it with apple silicon but adding a larger 32in display a super fast chip tons of ports and pro features because there's a lot of folks that want an all-in-one computer but want something bigger than 24 in that's just not that large of display for a lot of people including myself we've heard this iMac Pro could launch as early as 2024 and I just think with the M4 chip it would be a perfect time okay as we get AirPods Max 2 into the later part of 2024 I'm talking end of November probably December time frame we've got two more things that I think we could see from Apple if they don't launch earlier the first is airpods Max 2 Apple has been working on these for a while but it does not seem like this is going to be the refresh we've been waiting on airpods Max 2 are said to get a USBC port instead of lightning and there's going to be some new color options to choose from and that is it no new chip no changed audio quality no fixed headband just little different with USBC and that will be the upgrade that Apple has taken four years to do I know this doesn't make sense I'm very confused by this myself I will believe it when I see it but as of right now those are the rumors for airpods Max 2 said to launch this year but last One more thing there's one more thing that Apple has been working on and it is probably the thing that has my interest the most off of anything in Apple's product road map right now and this is an entirely new product for Apple which would be a tabletop robot with apple intelligence built in now I know what I just said sounds absolutely bad uh cuz it is but hear me out you might have been watching Apple's most recent event where they talked about all the new AI features and how they need to work on device because that provides the best experience and privacy for their customers meaning that you need a certain processor to get the new version of Siri well if you look at Apple's current home tabletop lineup of products like the homepod their processors are not fast enough to support apple intelligence so Apple has confirmed that Apple's homepod speakers all of them that they've made and will make they do not support apple intelligence meaning you'll be stuck with the old version of Siri which feels kind of useless so Apple's solution for this has been to build an entirely new tabletop homepod that will apparently have a robotic arm controlled by artificial intelligence they can do things like follow you around the room so you're on a FaceTime call and always stay centered it can mimic head motions of somebody nodding up and down and most importantly it will have a super fast chip inside that supports Apple intelligence so you get the new version of Siri alongside everything else Apple intelligence again I know that this sounds like a far out idea it's hard to actually picture what this would look like in B but we've seen some interesting Concepts based on the rumors and I have to say I kind of love this idea and we're hearing that this could launch at end of 2024 early 2025 so as early as this year probably next year but I wanted to put that on your radar cuz I find it fascinating but also because I've seem like no one else talk about this and it is like I said the most interesting thing for me that the company's currently been working on okay A packed 20124 more than 10 Apple products still coming before the end of the year and I want to hear down below what you are the most excited to see basically buckle up is going to be a fun couple of months I've got some crazy plans for the year and I couldn't be more excited so thank you for watching I've been Sam and I will catch you all in my next video bye-bye also I never promote this but I have a podcast I don't know if you guys care but I do a podcast with my best bud every week so you guys should check that out up somewhere on the screen or below cuz I love talking about Apple there too so you should subscribe to that and follow for podcast okay this is just thing at the end of the video cuz I think you guys should know about my podcast okay thanks for watching bye for real see you
