Top 5 Highly Anticipated Apple Products in 2024: New iPhone, Apple Watch X, iPad Pro with OLED Display, and More

That's why in the article below, let's take a look at the most eagerly awaited Apple products coming in the next year.

AirPods 4

The upcoming AirPods 4, set to be released next year, will feature an enhanced design with a shorter stem, resembling a fusion of the standard AirPods and AirPods Pro. Interestingly, rumors suggest that Apple's new true wireless earbuds will come in two different versions, with improvements in sound quality.

Specifically, reports indicate that Apple will introduce two versions of AirPods 4 with different price points. The premium variant will support active noise cancellation, a feature previously seen only on the higher-end AirPods Pro. The successor to AirPods 3 will also receive a new charging case with integrated speakers for the Find My function and a USB-C charging port.

iPad Pro with OLED Display

In 2024, Apple will integrate OLED technology into its iPad lineup for the first time. Compared to mini-LED or LED, OLED displays provide deeper blacks, improved contrast, enhanced HDR, and better energy efficiency.

The new ‌iPad Pro‌ models will undergo a redesign and come in 13-inch and 11.1-inch sizes with a slimmer profile. Additionally, we can expect the next-generation premium iPads to feature the powerful M3 chip, a noteworthy upgrade from the current M2 chip in existing models.

Apple Watch X

Recent reports suggest that Apple may unveil the Apple Watch Series 10 or 'X' next year, coinciding with the 10-year anniversary of Apple Watch if you count from the 2014 launch date instead of the 2015 release date.

The 2024 Apple Watch will feature a refreshed design, possibly with a slimmer profile and a new magnetic strap attachment system. The magnetic strap attachment method will enable Apple to save space inside, potentially leading to a larger battery or integration of other components. This also means that straps on current Apple Watch models may not be compatible with the new model.

Alongside the redesigned look, the Apple Watch X is rumored to include blood pressure monitoring and sleep apnea detection. Wrist-based blood pressure monitoring is a notable achievement, allowing Apple Watch users to track whether their blood pressure is trending upward.

For sleep apnea detection, ‌Apple Watch X‌ will use sleep tracking and breath pattern monitoring to determine whether an individual may experience interrupted breathing during sleep. The information can be shared with a doctor for further examination.

iPhone 2024

According to recent rumors, Apple may bring some features from the iPhone Pro series to the standard iPhone models next year, including the Action button and the advanced 3nm A-series chip. The upcoming Action button may utilize capacitive technology instead of mechanical, allowing Apple to slim it down.

The new arrangement of the vertical camera lenses may enable spatial video recording, a feature currently exclusive to the ‌ ‌ models. Apple is also introducing a new capacitive Capture button for all four upcoming ‌iPhones, located below the power button on the right side. This button will sense pressure and provide haptic feedback, with rumors suggesting its use for video recording.

While the standard ‌iPhone 2024 models will have a design similar to the ‌ ‌ models, the ‌iPhone Pro‌ 2024 models will feature larger screens. Specifically, ‌iPhone Pro‌ 2024 will have a 6.3-inch display, up from 6.1 inches, and ‌iPhone Pro‌ Max 2024 will have a 6.9-inch display, up from 6.7 inches.

Other rumors about the ‌iPhone Pro 2024 include a 48-megapixel Ultra Wide lens, Wi-Fi 7, and Qualcomm's faster 5G chip.

Vision Pro

It's been six months since Apple unveiled the Vision Pro augmented reality headset, and in early 2024, customers finally get to experience this groundbreaking product firsthand.

Apple sees Vision Pro as the future of computing and the first spatial computing device. It's a mixed reality headset, allowing seamless transitions between AR and VR using the Digital Crown on the side of the device. Unlike any other AR headset on the market, Apple employs a micro-LED display with ultra-high resolution and features hand and eye tracking for intuitive control.

Applications, games, and immersive experiences have been planned for Vision Pro, and users will have the ability to record spatial videos for playback on the device.
