receive to our weekend Apple Breakfast column , which admit all of the Apple news you neglect this hebdomad in a ready to hand bite - sized roundup . We call it Apple Breakfast because we think it goes majuscule with a morning cupful of coffee or afternoon tea , but it ’s cool if you want to give it a read during lunch or dinner party hour too .
The year without a spring
Human beings are puppet of use , and we love the solace predictability of routine . For Apple fan , that stand for the seasonal progression of jam result . The year ’s major launching usually get with aspring eventin March or April , followed by software news at WWDC in June , before the announcements are brought to a close with iPhone and Apple Watch release in the dip . Thus it has been , and thus ever more it shall rest .
In fact , Apple ’s cycle of events has never been quite as predictable as all that . The September iPhone launch feel so well established that the first spec sheets might as well have been carved into stone tablets , but that tradition did n’t start out until the launch of the iPhone 4s . The first four generations were uncover at WWDC in the summer , or at the Macworld Conference ( recall that ? ) in January . The fall announcements , for that matter , have sometimes occupied just one event , sometimes two , and on one memorable social function three . WWDC used to regularly take blank space in May , and once was scandalously defend in August . And there have been stack of years with no spring upshot at all . Including , most likely , 2023 .
Second - guess Apple ’s programme is a soft touch ’s errand , and the company may yet storm us . But my suspicion is that we wo n’t get to see any Apple EXEC sport around a stage , virtual or otherwise , until WWDC .
The trouble is that Apple ’s motley - reality headset reportedly wo n’t be ready in time for an issue in March or April . This exciting but faintly cursed project keep getting bear on back ; at one stage it was expected in January , then spring , then WWDC , and one initiate now guess it willaccompany the iPhone 15 in the fall . Setbacks are intelligible when you ’re launching an integral new ecosystem of product , and as I compose last week , it’sbetter to be late than rubbish . But this leaves Apple without a headliner for its spring bonanza .
That ’s not to say there are n’t production , their hour come round at last , slouching towards Cupertino to be born . A Modern larger MacBook Air , for lesson , is likely very impendent indeed , and Apple is also believed to be working on a fast Apple TV as part of its smart - home push . There ’s also the Mac Pro , which could get at any moment . But the question remains : Are any of these big enough to be the flagpole announcement of a press result watched by millions around the globe ? Apple knows it can snap up our attending whenever it wants , but does n’t wish to ware that attending on anything minor . That ’s why the new M2 Macs and second - gen HomePod were released via press release last month and not with tucket on a practical stage .
So no , I do n’t think Apple will bother with a leap issue this year , barring last - minute miracles that stand for the AR headset is ready after all . Of course , I could be wrong . Because the last thing you could call Apple is predictable .
