When the new year comes lots of rugged devices We know there will be new iPhones, iPads, Macs and Apple Watches in 2023. But there are always surprises that no one expected except us. Here are three totally unexpected products from him that could debut in early 2023.
Apple security key
apple Announced We are introducing support for Apple ID physical security keys to further protect users who are concerned about their iCloud data being hacked. This feature has already been confirmed in the iOS 16.3 beta and will be released early next year.

Essentially, if you choose to use it, it replaces your current two-factor authentication method of sending you a code to enter on the device you want to access. Alternatively, you can plug in a dongle-style security key that handles authentication on your behalf, such as Yubico’s popular Yubikey.
But what if Apple made their own keys instead? Adoption of security keys is probably low, but that could change if Apple releases their own. We’ve already seen people flock to the $19 polishing cloth, but security keys like Google’s Titan Security Keys are a great way to get more people interested in advanced security. will be the method.
Security Keys add another layer of security to your Apple ID. Especially for users who are at high risk of their data being compromised. As Apple explains, “Security Keys strengthens Apple’s two-factor authentication by requiring a hardware security key as one of the two factors. It will evolve further, making it impossible for even sophisticated attackers to obtain a second factor of users through phishing scams.”
Apple’s NFC key would be a nice surprise to promote the new features. And I look forward to seeing Apple design it. Perhaps glossy white, or brushed aluminum, or matte black with a small Apple logo embossed.
AirPods Max 2
Apple first introduced over-the-ear headphones at the end of 2020, but Apple’s premium (both quality and price) hasn’t been updated since. AirPods Max There were no headphones, nor many rumors. However, we believe a new version is on the way.
And we have some clues that a new model could be coming sooner or later. So the product won’t arrive him until the second week of January. Also, Amazon, which always sells AirPods Max, does not have a few colors in stock. Compare this to the readily available 3rd generation of his AirPods or AirPods Pro, either Apple is having problems with his supply chain or keeping inventory levels low for the release of the 2nd generation model. is suggested.

Hopefully, Apple will now address the concerns I had with the first generation. Mainly the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack for zero latency when editing audio or listening to lossless files, the weight of the headphones themselves, and god – how Apple somehow escaped its design lab Terrible “smart case”. It could also feature many features introduced in the 2nd generation AirPods Pro. Enhanced noise cancellation, adaptive transparency, improved battery life, touch controls, and more. Oh, and I don’t mind having a USB-C port instead of Lightning.
Apple Pencil for iPhone
OK, I admit this is the longest shot. But listen.we reported earlier this year Apple announced at the iPhone 14 event that it will work with iPhone displays (and 10th Generation iPad (10th Generation) and its dongle). Well, Steve Jobs famously opposed the idea of a stylus pen for his iPhone. apple pencilmatching the larger display means the iPhone Pencil isn’t such a crazy idea anymore.
Rumor has it that the iPhone Pencil was similar to the Samsung S-Pen and didn’t need to be charged directly, instead drawing power from the phone. It was expected to be smaller for iPhone use, lack pressure sensitivity like the iPad’s Apple Pencil, and be priced around $49/£49. their iPhone. Apparently, the device started mass production before Apple abruptly canceled the project.
So why would Apple release it in early 2023? Over the past two years, Apple has launched colors (green in 2022, purple in 2021) to boost sales of new iPhones mid-cycle. So it’s not uncommon for Apple to look to the iPhone mid-cycle. And with production issues plaguing the iPhone 14 Pro line throughout the holiday season, Apple wants to capture as many iPhone sales as possible in the first quarter. A smaller stylus might be just right.
