Korean sources have gained information about Cupertino’s plans next year in terms of product launches and it doesn’t look like the stale relaunch of the same brand like this year for Apple.
The most valuable brand in the world will be going for gold in 2014, with the launch of a five-inch iPhone, 12.9-inch iPad and the iWatch, three new products to bring into the field, although the first two may just be testing units.
We have already heard about Apple changing the recipe for the iPhone 6, with rumors about the company testing six-inch screens and working on more than one premium unit for next year. Apple may launch the iPhone 6 with two or three different size options.
If Apple decides to do this, it may be hit with backlash, considering the iPhone 4S to 5 change made many apps downgraded in size, with Apple not wanting to stretch the app to size. This is where Android is superior, given the support for multiple sized devices.
Apple could be working on optimisation techniques or adding different sized smartphone screens to the xCode system. It would not be too difficult, considering Android now manages to incorporate a multitude of sizes from 3.5-inch to 6.4-inch.
As for the iPad, we can see Apple selling the larger size with more storage, to take on the huge amounts of different Windows 8 hybrid computers now available on the market. We are still unsure if Apple will add a keyboard to the iPad, they have been more vocal on first party accessories with the iPhone cases.
The iWatch is an exciting prospect but we have no real proof, apart from Apple trademarking iWatch, that the smartwatch is coming anytime soon. We may see it at the end of 2014, when Apple normally revamps their product line.
