iPhone 5S, iPad mini Retina and iPad 5? What to expect from Apple in 2013 in terms of hardware?

While 2013 has barely begun,analysts are starting to
deliver their predictionson what the apple company could do
book us.

Among them,Ming-Chi Kuowhich has in the past been rather
reliable, delivers to us in a quarter-by-quarter planwhat he expects
d’Appleboth at the level of the iPhone as well as the iPad or even
Mac. For him,2013 could well be the year of everything Retina or
presque.

Discovery of these projections:

Ming-Chi Kuo who was right about the iPhone 5 promises
a year 2013 full of new products.

For him, the iPhone 5S, but also a 'cheap' iPhone 5 (like
mentioned there)
should see the light of day this year. In addition to this, the analyst also expects a
new iPad Retina and an iPad mini also upgraded to the Retina screen. On the Mac side,
it could well be that 2013 marks the end of MacBook Pros again
'non-Retina'.

If the first half of the year should be fairly calm, from the end of
second quarter announcements should be made more numerous.

iPhone 5S et iPhone ‘low cost’

According to the analyst, this year Apple could presentnot one,
but two iPhones. Spearduring July,
l’iPhone 5Sshould take the design we know
Currently. However, it would be equipped with an A7 processor and a sensor
fingerprint integrated into the home button which will allow
the user to identify himself.

For his part,l’iPhone ‘low-cost’should more or less
look like the iPhone 5, but with a plastic back. Visibly,the exit of Phil Schillerau
subject of this model did not convince the analyst. New, the 'low-cost' iPhone
would be available in6 colors.

iPad and iPad mini: close design and Retina for everyone

As expected, Ming-Chi Kuo seesthe design of the iPad
9.7 inches closer to that of the iPad minito become finer
and lighter. He adds to this, the arrival of aiPad mini with
Retina displayand offering the same resolution as that of the iPad 4
current.

This way, developers would not have to touch their apps
to fit this new little tablet.

Like last year for the iPad 4 and the iPad mini, Ming-Chi Kuo sees these two
tablets come outduring the 3rd trimester.

Mac side

Ming-Chi Predictedthe end of screenless MacBook Pros
Retina. According to him, Apple could extend the range to models equipped with
optical hard drives to lower the rating.

On his side,the MacBook Air could suffer a little
liftingand see its technical specifications modified upwards
without having the Retina screen. While it should not evolve
very little, the MacBook Air 2013 should arrive during the second quarter
while the MacBook Pros should be presented a little later.

And then the iPods!

If the iPod range underwent significant changes in 2012, it should not
be the same in 2013. The analyst still expects, as for the iPhone,
the release of a 'low-cost' iPod touch without a cameraet
with less memory to try to reach a price around
200$.

It should be presented at the end of the year more or less at the same time as
the new iPhones.

One More Thing…

Ming-Chi Kuo sees 2013 as the last year that Apple TV will be
considered a hobby. If the analyst does not foresee the famous Apple TV
for this year, it could well be that it shows up in 2014
until Apple can set up a sufficient production line and
content!
