Apple’s absence from the list
Notably absent from the list of Fall 2023 tech events is Apple. Apple typically holds an event in the fall to announce new products and features. However, there is no indication that the company will hold an event in the fall of 2023.
A must mention is that Apple announced various new products and features, including the iPhone 15, Apple Watch Series 9, and USB-C support for multiple devices in a scheduled video stream on September 12th, 2023.
Why?
There are a few possible reasons for this absence:
- One possibility is that Apple does not have enough new products and features to justify an event.
- Another possibility is that Apple is focusing on its mixed-reality headset, which is rumored to be released in 2023. Finally
- It is also possible that Apple is waiting for WWDC 2024 to announce new products and features.
- Or that Apple is waiting to see how the global economy performs in the second half of 2023 before announcing any new products or features. If there is a recession, Apple may be hesitant to launch new products that could be expensive and out of reach for many consumers.
- Another reason is that Apple may also be waiting to see how the competition performs in the fall of 2023. If other tech companies launch new products that are well-received by consumers, Apple may want to wait until 2024 to launch its own new products.
- Finally, it is also possible that Apple has some surprises up its sleeve and is simply waiting for the right time to announce them. Only time will tell what Apple has in store for its customers in the fall of 2023 and beyond.
In Conclusion
Whatever the reason, Apple’s absence from the list of Fall 2023 tech events is sure to disappoint fans of the company. However, there are still plenty of other tech events to look forward to this fall.
