The Vision Pro will be Apple’s first big release of 2024
The first device on Gurman’s 2024 list is the Vision Pro. The release of Apple’s spatial computer marks the beginning of the company’s journey to find the device that will eventually replace the iPhone. Smart glasses are probably still number one on everyone’s list, but Apple will need time to whittle the product down to the size of a pair of eyeglasses. Once released early next year, the Vision Pro will draw the curious to the Apple Store just to check out the $3,499 device and other Apple products might benefit from this attention.
All eyes will be on the Vision Pro spatial computer as 2024 kicks off
Although Apple most certainly won’t reveal actual Vision Pro sales numbers, it probably will include revenue derived from the device under “Wearables, Home and Accessories.” Nonetheless, it would be interesting to know how many units get snapped up next year.

We should hear more about TSMC’s 2nm process node as Moore’s Law continues to be enforced
And the last item on Gurman’s 2024 list is Artificial Intelligence. He says that Apple is scheduled to join the other tech giants with a generative AI tool. Gurman has previously written about an internal tool known inside Apple as “Apple GPT” and the company has “Ajax,” its own large-language model.
After using its 3nm process node for the A17 Pro, TSMC is working on the eventual move to 2nm
It sounds like a busy and eventful year coming up for those who favor the Apple ecosystem. Once the Vision Pro release is done, attention will turn, as it always does, to the next iPhone series. But there are other products besides the iPhone. Next year, iPad Pro fans should have the opportunity to upgrade and enjoy OLED displays. The 10th anniversary Apple Watch is also something to look forward to, and we should see more powerful Macs.
While it isn’t exclusively an Apple topic, we also should hear more about TSMC’s 2nm process node which might find its way into the iPhone by 2026 or 2027. So let the ball in Times Square drop. Even though 2023 still has 3 and a half months left, we’re ready for whatever happens next year.
