According to typically-reliable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities, Apple has a slew of new products in the works for 2014. The analyst has summarized his expectations for these new products in a new research note, and has also reaffirmed some of his previous claims for products in Apple’s pipeline for the rest of Fall 2013…

 

 

The major 2014 Apple product updates that Kuo highlights revolve around MacBooks, iMacs, and iPads. Earlier this week, another analyst forecasted major updates to Apple products in the display department, and Kuo seems to agree with some of these claims. Notably, Kuo believes Apple will introduce a 12-inch Retina laptop, a sharper full-sized iPad, and a more affordable iMac desktop computer.

Here are the details from Kuo on those purported upcoming devices:

12-inch MacBook with new design + Retina Display:

• Smaller MacBook with entirely new design
• Launching in either Q2 or Q3 of 2014
• 12-inch screen, but as portable as current 11-inch MacBook Air and productive as 13-inch MacBook Air
• Higher-resolution display (Retina)
• Will “redefine laptop computing” once again just like the current MacBook Air design
• Thinner/lighter than MacBook Air, new clamshell structure
• Will run on Intel chip, not Apple-based A8 processor
• Potentially lower-cost than current Apple notebooks

Lower-cost iMac:

• Apple could ship a cheaper iMac next-year
• Current iMac did not ship as many units as expected
• Lower-cost model could help combat Windows desktops
• Kuo expects this iMac model to boost iMac sales by 10-20%
• Ship in Q2 or Q3 2014

Sixth-generation full-sized iPad:

• Would carry same 9.7-inch screen size as current iPad and upcoming iPad 5
• Display would be higher-resolution with a PPI (pixels-per-inch) of 30-40% higher than the current Retina iPad
• While iPads with larger screens have been rumored, Kuo says that Apple will likely ship this higher-resolution model instead
• Third-generation iPad mini would retain the 2048×1536 Retina display of the upcoming iPad mini 2

While many of Kuo’s claims are logical and line-up with previous reports, it is unclear if Apple truly is prepared to undergo yet another resolution change in its tablet lineup. A higher pixel count on the full-sized iPad would force App Store developers to re-create their interfaces and iPad app graphics once-again.

Tim Cook previously promised that 2014 would be a major product year for Apple, and the aforementioned new form-factors seems to line up with teases from the Apple CEO.

In addition to the aforementioned devices, Apple is expected to launch a new iPhone line next year with a larger display. Apple is also working on new TV products and wearable devices, but it is currently unclear if those are also in the cards for 2014.

As for the remainder of 2013, Apple has Haswell MacBook Pros, new Mac minis, multiple new iPads, and several new pieces of software on the docket.

ma il macbook pro quando diavolo lo aggiornano?

teoricamente verso la fine di ottobre - inizio novembre

 

 

speriamo che con l'uscita di Mavericks presentino qualcosa

[S. Clegane]

Eh, io purtroppo ho il fottuto sospetto che lo vogliano togliere per lasciare solo il modello retina, che per le mie esigenze sarebbero 500 euro in più inutili visto che non ho modo/non mi interessa di sfruttare uno schermo simile  

Di sicuro se lo aggiornano tirano via il superdrive visto che ormai è l'unico mac rimasto ad averlo (altra inculata potente)

Adding to rumors that Apple is seriously considering a larger iPad model, a Chinese website on Tuesday claims Foxconn has built five prototype versions of the alleged 12.9-inch tablet featuring 2K or 4K screen resolutions. 
 

Citing a people familiar with the matter, Chinese publication PadNews claims Apple is testing five different 12.9-inch iPad models built by partner manufacturer Foxconn. Further, the company may launch a version with a 2K resolution screen in the first half of 2014, then debut an even higher resolution 4K model a few months later. 

The publication quotes sources as saying the first of the larger iPad models could hit store shelves in April, with the 4K ultra-HD iteration coming during the regular iPad product update cycle in October. 

While the terms "2K" and "4K" were tossed about in the report, it made no mention of specific panel resolutions. Currently, the iPad Air boasts a 9.7-inch Retina display with a 2,048-by-1,536 pixel resolution, which by many standards is already a 2K panel. 

Tuesday's rumor is not the first suggest Apple is building a larger-sized iPad. In November, a report from The Korea Times cited an official at a local Apple parts supplier as saying the 12.9-inch Retina display was already being manufactured by a "first-tier" Korean display maker. Earlier that month, the source of today's rumor said Apple was in advanced testing of either an 11.4-inch or 12.9-inch tablet.

Finally, separate reports from The Wall Street Journal and Chinese publication United Daily Newsclaimed a larger iPad was in the works. 

As tablets continue to take over the PC landscape, Apple could be looking to stay ahead of the curve with additional screen size offerings. A 12.9-inch iPad panel would come close to the company's smallest MacBook Pro and surpass the 11.6-inch MacBook Air thin-and-light.

Mah secondo me avrebbe gran poco senso un 13" come tablet... Perché avresti iOS comunque limitato rispetto a OS X e quindi te ne faresti poco rispetto a un macbook.

 

Fermo restando che per fare l'immagine han messo un iPad 4 sotto un Air
