In the remainder of 2022 we will not see more Apple products, we must start thinking about the new year 2023, which will be another year in which the company will announce its different novelties through different keynotes whose dates we will learn over time. of the months

The keynotes are key Apple events, which are not without surprise due to their curious data , in which we know each and every one of the news in products and services. The first will probably take place sometime in the first quarter of 2023.

It is difficult to know everything new that Apple will present in 2023, because the company never gives any clues to anything, but it is not very difficult to know that it is about new generations of the products that it currently sells with different features and some renewal.

New iPhone 15

As is the tradition every year, we will see new iPhones , although they are almost the last devices that will be presented during 2023 because we must bear in mind that we are talking about a hypothetical presentation during September-October of next year.

The question now is to determine how many ranges of the iPhone 15 we will see. If we look back, we saw how 4 models of the iPhone 14 were made official, which were the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus and the Pro versions made up of the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max .

Most likely, the iPhone 15 will repeat this strategy and we will also see 4 models, two more “basic” ranges to put it in some way (iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus) and two Pro models (iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max). There will surely be quite a few differences as well.

In other words, Apple will once again offer a considerable difference between the Pro and non-Pro models , leaving the most important features for the Pro versions of the iPhone 15. Some possible data on the iPhone 15 is already becoming known , but we will officially know everything. in a few months.

iPhone SE 4, a cheap mobile with a notch?

We are also waiting to see if Apple finally decides to release a possible iPhone SE 4, which would be the cheapest iPhone in its catalog, although somewhat more expensive with the iPhone SE 3 or 2022 currently being sold, that in case this last ones continue to sell.

It is rumored that the iPhone SE 4 could see the light of day sometime in 2023. It would be a smartphone with a 6.1-inch screen and the presence of a notch, and also something more powerful than the current generation. At the design level, there would not be too many changes.

New Apple Watch, also a possible Watch SE

Along with the new iPhone 15, we will also see new generations of the Apple Watch and we would already be talking about the Apple Watch 9 in different bracelet sizes and surely with some other novelty compared to the generation that we now have on the market.

And beware, there will also in all likelihood be a new Apple Watch Ultra that may focus on improving and updating some other component of the current generation. Keep in mind that we would be facing a possible Apple Watch Ultra 2.

Apple is also likely to renew its Apple Watch SE , the cheapest smartwatch of all. In any case, you will also have to wait a couple of months, in the meantime you can choose to buy an Apple Watch somewhat cheaper by taking advantage of an offer if you do not want to wait so long.

Renewal of the HomePod?

It could also play a renewal of the HomePod , Apple’s smart speakers. Right now we have the HomePod mini, which are the smaller versions of the original HomePod that had a larger cylinder-shaped design that you will surely remember.

The normal HomePod was discontinued some time ago, after the original HomePod came the new HomePod Mini and it could already play the renewal now in 2023 with something new . We already talked in June about what the new HomePod could bring , although it could repeat the same design.

A bigger iPad

It is rumored that Apple could be working on a larger iPad , so we would be facing a tablet with a screen of more than 12.9 inches, which is the largest size that the iPad offers so far, being the iPad Pro 2022 with the M2 processor one of them.

This has been talked about on occasion during 2022, but at the moment there is not much information. In any case, it is most likely that if it were finally true, we would already be talking about an iPad with a screen size very similar to the MacBook.

MacBook Pro with M2 Pro and M2 Max processor

Another option on the table is the appearance of new MacBook Pros with M2 Pro and M2 Max chips . The 14 and 16-inch models are candidates for this possible launch, but also the 13-inch MacBook Pro, although nothing is confirmed yet.

The truth is that laptops with a larger screen size have more possibilities due to the simple fact that the 13-inch one was renewed just a few months ago.

What does seem clear is that they will be very premium, ultra-powerful laptops with very expensive prices.

Mac Pro with Apple Silicon processors

Apple ‘s Mac Pros are one of the least frequently updated computers in their catalogue. It’s been a while since a new version has been released and 2023 could be the perfect year to see a comprehensive revamp of Apple’s most powerful tower computer .

They are computers designed for professionals who need extra power that MacBook Pro laptops do not offer. It is one of the few PCs that still does not have the new Apple Silicon and it could be that in 2023. We could see a Mac Pro with M1 or M2, or even with a more specific chip.

Mac Mini with M2 chip

2023 could also be the perfect year to launch the refresh of the Mac Mini , Apple’s small advanced computer with a compact design. It has also been a few years since it has undergone a renewal and the arrival of the new year could be the ideal time to renew it.

Surely it would continue to have a compact and small design and the biggest news should be the availability of the new M2 processor or its more powerful variants such as the M2 Pro or M2 Max , but it remains to be seen. For now, we settle for the Mac Mini with M1.

iOS 17 and more updated software

For sure, in 2023 we will see the new version of iOS . It would be iOS 17 , the operating system that we will see installed on the new iPhone 15, but it will be presented long before the new iPhones arrive, and perhaps the new WWDC of 2023 is the perfect moment.

We could be talking about the first versions of iOS 17 in the month of June/July 2023 and then see the stable version back in the autumn months of that year, when the arrival of the new generation of the iPhone is expected. I’m sure it will bring a lot of news.

Of course, as happens every year, there will be mobile phones that are left out of this update and probably iOS 17 will not reach the iPhone 8 or the iPhone 8 Plus because these two phones set the limit right now for iOS 16 , which They are the old terminals that do have it.

Apart from iOS 17, we will surely see updates to the various operating systems of Apple products as well. This would be the case of new versions of iPadOS and tvOS, watchOS, with different novelties and improvements, something that we will see during 2023.

It is likely that we miss some product, especially those multimedia accessories of which there could also be new versions. Who knows if we will see a new Apple TV or also new AirPods Max , or the new Pro Display XDR monitor for Mac Pro.

There are some safe products and others that are not, we hope to see many Apple products in 2023 and we just have to wait for the year to start. As the months start to pass so we can begin to discover everything that the company has prepared for us for the new year.

The post Apple Products: Everything we expect from Apple in 2023 first appeared on DataBonker.

Undoubtedly, the new iOS 16 comes loaded with notable improvements for iPhone users. From customizable lock screens to Dynamic Island, through the expected keyboard with haptic feedback or the new features of Mail.

The question is… do you really know all the functions that your iPhone has? You do not need to be doubtful, because the answer is no. Therefore, today we are going to present you with a series of tricks and tools that are worth discovering.

Full screen music player

Here’s one of the lesser-known features of iOS 16: the ability to view the music player in full size from the lock screen .

When you’re listening to music and you lock your iPhone, a small player opens that allows you to view the album cover, stop, go back, or skip forward. From now on, you can click on said cover and make the music player occupy the full screen .

Also, it is compatible with any music player, beyond Apple Music and Spotify. Surely, for some users this novelty is totally secondary; for others, it will be one of the best features of the new operating system.

Face ID landscape

Without a doubt, the horizontal Face ID function has been hard to come by. However, Apple has finally announced the arrival of this new feature with iOS 16, which will be compatible with iPhone 13 and later models .

Surely you have ever wanted to unlock your mobile in the car, while it was acting as GPS to get somewhere, but you couldn’t do it because Face ID only worked vertically.

Another example? When we wake up and reach for our cell phone without even knowing how we are holding it . In this aspect it is also an advantage, since we will identify ourselves faster by not having to search for the vertical position.

See the WiFi password

How many times have we invited someone home, they have asked us for the WiFi password and we have had to go to the router to be able to provide it. Not to mention how terrible it can be to have to dictate that hieroglyph.

This is over. With the new iOS 16 operating system, the process is simplified. From now on, discovering the password of the WiFi network to which you are connected will be as easy as accessing the settings of your iPhone .

Once inside “Settings”, you will have to go to “WiFi” and search for the network that interests you. When you find it, click on the information button and tap on the hidden password . The last step, before its disclosure, will be to identify yourself with Face ID or Touch ID.

Custom audio for AirPods and Beats

One of the best hidden features in iOS 16 is meant for your ears. And, thanks to Personalized Spatial Audio, you will be able to enjoy a listening experience adapted only to you .

You will find this tool under “Settings”, “Custom Spatial Audio” and “Configure Custom Spatial Audio”. There, you will have to follow the steps indicated to show all the angles of your face and scan the geometry of both ears.

To do this, you will need to have an iPhone with the iOS 16 operating system and a TrueDepth camera , specialized in capturing facial data by analyzing more than 30,000 invisible points.

Once you sign in with Apple ID, you can use it on these devices:

• 1st or 2nd generation AirPods Pro.
• AirPods Max.
• 3rd generation AirPods.
• Beats Fits Pro.

View battery percentage

Without a doubt, this is one of the innovations most claimed by Apple users. It already existed at the time, but it was eliminated due to lack of space with the appearance of Face ID.

The iOS 16 operating system brings this feature back, making it possible to view the battery percentage from the status bar , without having to access the Control Center.

In addition, the icon changes color depending on the battery status: green while charging, red when low, and white in normal status.

To activate this option, you simply have to access the “Settings” of your iPhone, look for the “Battery” option and select “Battery percentage”. You will have to follow the same steps if you decide to disable it.

Unfortunately, this functionality will not be available on all phones. Here you can find out which iPhones are compatible with the new battery indicator . Is yours one of them?

Protection of hidden and deleted photos

All phones allow you to delete images from the gallery, which usually remain stored in a specific folder until they are permanently deleted. Indeed, this is not at all surprising.

However, iPhone has two albums within its Photos app: Deleted and Hidden. Both are available in both iOS 14 and iOS 15, but the novelty comes with the protection provided by the new iOS 16 operating system.

It will be essential to identify yourself through Face ID or Touch ID to access hidden photos and recently deleted photos. Thus, anyone who has access to your unlocked mobile will not be able to gossip any of these albums without your permission. Activate it by entering “Settings” and then “Photos” .

Say goodbye to accidentally hanging up calls

Until now, the side button of the iPhone had the classic function of locking the phone and also ending an active call immediately.

With the arrival of iOS 16, users will have the ability to disable this useful, but sometimes inconvenient feature. You can avoid these accidents by entering “Settings” , then “Accessibility” and finally “Prevent ending calls when blocking” .

Once this is done, when you are in the middle of a phone call and you accidentally press the lock button, the only thing you will achieve is that your screen turns off .

Pair Nintendo Switch Controllers

If you have an iPhone or iPad and a Nintendo Switch, the arrival of the iOS 16 operating system will come into your life like a breath of fresh air.

PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S… all these consoles could already be connected to Apple’s phone for a long time. Now, you can pair the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers to the iPhone or iPad through a very simple process.

First of all, take your Joy-Con controller and hold the small black button that is used to pair devices. Do this until the little green lights start blinking. Then, go to the “Settings” section of the iPhone, open the “Bluetooth” tab and finally select the Joy-Con.

Sort playlists

Do you have any order-related knocks? If the answer is yes, then surely you would love to have perfectly organized playlists .

Well, the new iOS 16 operating system may have made many people’s dreams come true. Starting now, Apple Music users will be able to sort their playlists by song title, artist, album, and even release date .

You can do it from the Apple Music app itself, accessing any of your playlists and clicking on the three dots that appear in the upper right corner.

Duplicate photos and contacts detector

Cleaning photos and contacts is always torture , especially if you have to do it because your mobile phone is about to explode due to information collapse.

Now, the new version iOS 16 makes it a little easier for you. The Photos application creates a folder, called “Duplicates” , where all those images and videos that are taking up storage space twice will be stored.

As if that were not enough, we find the same modus operandi in the contact manager. When you access your Contacts, you will see a header that says “Duplicate Contacts” at the top . From there you will be able to link cards or delete repeated telephone numbers .

Temporary screenshots

We continue for bingo with the theme of storage. What is your record of screenshots saved “just in case” or for a reason you don’t even remember anymore?

iPhone has always given a lot of play to screenshots , allowing you to save them in the Photos app, as a quick note, and even in the Files section. From now on, you can do one more thing.

If you have a smartphone with iOS 16, you will have at your fingertips “Copy and delete” the screenshot in question. A function unknown to many, but tremendously useful: it is saved to the clipboard temporarily and, once you have pasted it where you want, it is automatically deleted.

Currency converter and text translator

Thanks to the built-in intelligence of Live Text , text can be recognized in any image captured with iPhone. With the new iOS 16 operating system, new features are available.

Get ready to translate texts, convert currencies and measurements with an ease never seen before. To do this, you simply have to access the Camera app and point to what you want to convert. When the Live Text icon appears, tap on it, long press on what you want and select “Convert” .

In addition, Live Text now also recognizes text in videos , which can be stopped at any frame and request the translation. Finally, we can also ask Safari to translate a page and the text of the images it contains.

Organize tabs in Safari

Safari, Apple’s quintessential browser, is the best way to browse the Internet with any of the company’s devices. However, you have a limit of 500 open tabs .

It is true that this is a fairly high figure, but the problem comes when you want to find a specific tab that you had left open. In fact, you can spend hours trying to find the right one, without any success.

Therefore, with iOS 16 you now have the possibility to “Pin tab”. This means that this tab will move to the top of Safari, where a small preview will also appear, and you can easily access it without having to search for it.

Sometimes we are not aware of everything we can do with our smartphone, in this case with an iPhone. After knowing these 13 hidden features of iOS 16 , do you think you will get even more out of Apple’s new operating system ?
