Upcoming Apple Products: Gene Munster Predicts New Apple Products for 2013

Upcoming Apple Products: Looking back at 2012, it is easy to see that Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) had big things in mind. In a 12 month span, the tech titan rolled out a new phone and notebook, as well as two new tablets.

While there is no denying that Apple made waves last year, most of us are interested in what the company has up its sleeve in 2013.

A recent article on CNN Money takes a closer look at which new products may hit the market in the new year.

Although nobody knows what the future holds, it is safe to say that Piper Jaffray analysts Gene Munster and Douglas Clinton have plenty of solid information to rely on.

From the CNN Money article:

“Analysts Gene Munster and Douglas Clinton of Piper Jaffray took a stab at predicting what used to be unpredictable: Apple’s product calendar. Their report includes a number of not-so-prominent product upgrades, which lead Piper’s analysts to the conclusion that 2013 “will set the stage for bigger changes in the product lineup in 2014 and beyond.”

The article breaks down a few possibilities for 2013:

1. Apple Radio. A free radio service from Apple could be a huge hit, especially if it is part of iTunes. This may be the year we see it happen.

“Media discussion surrounding Apple Radio has been ongoing since October, so an expected release in early 2013 would come as no surprise.”

2. iPad mini with Retina Display. The iPad mini has been a big success thus far. The possibility of adding a retina display has many consumers salivating.

3. iOS 7. After the iO6 upgrade flop, which included the elimination of the Google Maps app, Apple is faced with a lot of pressure to make iOS 7 a hit. This is definitely one to keep an eye on.

4. iPhone 5S. The Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone 5S is likely to be released in 2013, although predictions of an exact date are all over the place. A September release makes the most sense, being that this is the month the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S hit the market.

“Munster and Clinton believe a new iPhone 5S will come out in September.”

5. Apple Television. This one has been talked about time and time again, and many (but not all) believe that 2013 will be the year that it comes to fruition.

“Munster and Clinton predict an Apple TV will measure 42″ to 55″ and cost between $1500 and $2000.”
