Let's face it: The new year has got to be brighter for the world's largest tech firm, right? The previous year saw more new product introductions than ever from Apple, including iOS 9, iPhone 6s/6s Plus, iPad Pro, Apple Watch, iMac 4K, Apple TV 4, etc. Then what to expect from Apple in 2016? Will the Apple TV make a strong showing this holiday season? Will the iPad Pro be enough to reverse the iPad line's recent sales slump? If you are curious about them, read the following Apple Products 2016 Preview, including new iPhone(iPhone 7/Plus/6c), new MacBook Air/Pro, Apple Watch 2, iPad Air 3, iMac, iOS 10, etc.

Apple Products 2016 Peview

iPhone 7/Plus (Late 2016)

Since 2015 was an "S year," 2016's iPhone should see a redesigned case, and a big selling point or two that would compel as many upgrades as possible. We think the iPhone 7 will feature further refinements that work on some pain points—wireless charging, haptic feedback for the software keyboard, and perhaps a camera that shoots 3D video. Waterproof would be a nice touch, along with better battery life, even if it can't be the thinnest phone ever. The future Apple product 2016 may also have USB Type C, A10 processor, 5MP front camera, 12MP rear camera and run iOS 10.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who often accurately predicts Apple's plans, has said RAM could be a differentiating factor between the two iPhone 7 models. The smaller 4.7-inch iPhone 7 may continue to ship with 2GB RAM, while the larger 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus may ship with 3GB RAM.

iPhone 6c (Early 2016)

Rumors indicate Apple is still planning to launch a new 4-inch iPhone in 2016 which has been referred to in the press as the iPhone 6c As a lower-priced device. Without 3D Touch or the top-notch camera of the flagship iPhones, the iPhone 6c would still make a splash with a colored metal case, Touch ID (gotta get more people using Apple Pay, after all), and the fun pocket-friendly size people have been asking for since the iPhone 5s. Small, medium, and large are the pattern for a reason, and Apple's big phones haven't captured everyone's hearts, so this is a rumor we believe in.

iPad Air 3 (Early-to-Mid 2016)

Rumors claimed that iPad Air 3 will sport a 9.7 inch screen display with 4K resolution or 2334×3112 resolution. This is better than the predecessor's 1536×2048 pixel resolution. Other expected features and specs of the device are A9X processor, 2GB to 4GB RAM, improved cameras, fingerprint sensor, and longer battery life. The iPad Air 3 is speculated to focus on entertainment and media functions making it superior than iPad Pro. Amid the speculations of the powerful specs and features of the iPad Air 3, the tablet is rumored to be way cheaper than the new iPad Pro. Recent rumors have suggested that Apple is developing an iPad Air 3 that will launch during the first half of 2016.

Apple Watch 2 (Early 2016)

A second-generation Apple Watch is rumored to be debuting in March of 2016, approximately one year after the launch of the first Apple Watch. Early rumors suggest the Apple Watch 2 will perhaps include some of the sensors that were nixed from the first version, including skin conductivity, blood oxygen level, and blood pressure. The device may be thinner than the first Apple Watch, and it could include features like a FaceTime camera to allow Apple Watch users to make and receive FaceTime calls and an upgraded Wi-Fi chip that may allow the Apple Watch to do more without an iPhone.

New MacBook Air/Pro (Early-to-Mid 2016)

Current rumors suggest Apple will continue producing the MacBook Air, with plans to launch 13 and 15-inch MacBook Air models during the third quarter of 2016, perhaps unveiling the machines around the annual Worldwide Developers Conference.

Broadwell chips appropriate for a 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro update became available in June of 2015, so Apple could release an updated 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro in early 2016 using these chips. Alternatively, and more likely, Apple could bypass Broadwell altogether in favor of a Skylake update for both the 13 and 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro.

Beyond Skylake chips, it is not known what other improvements Apple might offer in a second-generation Retina MacBook. Given that the design was just introduced in April of 2015, the new machine will undoubtedly use the same chassis, but a Rose Gold color option to match the new Rose Gold iPhone 6s is a possibility. If Apple is planning to introduce new Macs at a rumored Apple Watch-centric event in March, that may be when the new Retina MacBook will debut.

iMac (Late 2016)

There are no rumors on other features that could be included with a next-generation iMac update, but going forward, Apple may fully drop non-Retina 21.5-inch models as hardware prices come down in favor of an all-Retina lineup.

Software Updates

iOS 10 (Late 2016)

Because iOS 9 just launched three and a half months ago, iOS 10 rumors have not yet begun. As the year progresses, we'll get a glimpse at what to expect in September, but for now, all we know is that there's an update coming.

OS X 10.12 (Late 2016)

In 2016, we expect to see the debut of OS X 10.12, the followup to OS X 10.11 El Capitan.

watchOS 3 (Early 2016)

New versions of the iPhone ship with new versions of iOS, so it's logical to expect the same thing to happen with the Apple Watch, but thus far there are no rumors about the watchOS 3 update or what features might be included.

tvOS 10?

If Apple is planning to offer iOS-style updates for tvOS, the first major tvOS software update could come in the fall, perhaps alongside iOS 10.

There are other possibilities like fifth-generation Apple TV, iPad Pro 2, iPad mini 5, Mac Pro, Mac mini, etc. And which one do you want to buy? I bet you may have a rough decision now.
