Apple's 2023 and the 2024 Vision Pro on the AppleInsider Podcast

How quickly we forget just what a great year 2023 was for Apple launches — and surely 2024 is going to be the same as we finally get to buy the Apple Vision Pro — all this and more, on the AppleInsider Podcast.

This week has been all about Apple's future, with potentially serious moves in the story of the Apple Watch ban — and less serious claims about Apple buying Peloton just because it could. Barclays investment bank also made what ought to have been a trivial claim that the iPhone 16 will have no compelling features, but that claim was enough to dent Apple's stock.

It wasn't long before other analysts saw that stock price dropping and decided to say they thought iPhone demand was weakening too.

But this is also a time to take a quick look back over what turned out to be a surprising 2023 for Apple. Whether you think the Apple Vision Pro was the biggest news, or the iOS 17 Journal app was, it was 12 months with launches, surprises, and controversy.
