During Apple’s much-anticipated “Wonderlust” event, the spotlight was mainly on the iPhone 15 series and the Apple Watch Series 9. Yet, many fans were left curious about the products and features that weren’t revealed. Here’s a thorough breakdown of everything Apple kept under wraps.
iPhone 15 Event Highlights
The event primarily focused on showcasing the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max, along with the Apple Watch Series 9. Notably absent were any mentions of new iPads, Macs, or audio products. This absence has sparked speculation about the possibility of another Apple event later this year.
Apple Vision Pro & Apple TV
Although briefly touched upon, no detailed information was provided about the Apple Vision Pro. Fans of “The Morning Show” can expect its new season to premiere on Apple TV, with a release slated for early next year. Surprisingly, Apple TV was not discussed during the event. Rumors suggest that a next-generation Apple TV may be released in the first half of 2024. There were also whispers about a potential Fire TV streaming stick-like device, but no confirmation was given.

M3 Chips and Macs
The anticipated M3 chipsets remained a mystery, with rumors hinting at no new Apple Silicon M3 chips until 2024. While there is potential for Mac-related news in October, the ‘Wonderlust’ event did not include any new Mac announcements. Apple enthusiasts eagerly await the debut of the “M3” chip in a future 13-inch MacBook Air. However, updates for the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models are not expected this year.
iPad Updates
In terms of iPads, there were no new announcements for 2023. The most recent iPad launch was the iPad mini 6 in 2021. Speculation suggests that iPads equipped with M3 chipsets may be announced in the future. Although no new iPad was announced at the ‘Wonderlust’ event, there is a possibility of a new iPad Air or iPad mini release before the year ends. However, an iPad Pro launch is not anticipated until 2023.
AirPods and USB-C Compatibility
The event did not mention USB-C charging for the base AirPods. However, the AirPods Pro 2 now boasts USB-C compatibility, possibly due to the EU law pushing for USB-C adoption. The iPhone 15 event did not see any significant AirPods updates, but a new USB-C charging case for the AirPods Pro 2 was announced.
