KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that Apple is set to release a plethora of new products in Q3 including revamped iPad Air and iPad mini tablets, the much anticipated iWatch in two sizes, a new 4.7-inch iPhone 6, an upgraded Apple TV, an all-new 12-inch MacBook and updates to the MacBook Pro lineup! Apple is also said to be updating the iMac in Q2 and releasing a larger 5.5-inch iPhone 6 before the holidays.
"We believe the rumored iWatch will be Apple's most important product this year, carrying much more weight than iPhone 6," Kuo writes, adding, "as market feedback for the product should reveal whether Apple still has the ability to continue making game-changing products with Tim Cook at the helm."
Kuo believes that Apple's competition in the sector could be fashion brands rather than tech companies if the iWatch is successful. Kuo also said Apple's success hinges on five key factors: replacement demand from larger iPhones; whether the new iPads' minor upgrades will carry momentum in 2014; whether the all-new 12-inch MacBook Air will redefine the notebook user experience; how much low-price iMac can boost overall shipments; and App Store availability on Apple TV.
While this release schedule is not officially confirmed, Kuo does have an excellent track record with his Apple predictions.
