2012 was an impressive year for Apple with the addition of a cutting-edge Retina display to the MacBook Pro, coming out slimmer and lighter than its predecessors.
Apple worked around portability yet retained performance to create the MacBook Air. So what’s next for Apple after the unbridled graphics display of the Retina laptop and the 13-inch light netbook?

Technology analysts say that the videos will be the primary focus of all gadgets and laptops in the coming years. This will require high speed connections for uploads, streaming, file sharing and downloads. Although current screens are capable of high resolutions, Apple’s unsatisfaction has led them to further work on the Thunderbolt technology. This optical cabling system will enable multiple gigabits displays. On the financial side, fiber optics will pose exorbitant prices on the finished products so Apple switched to using the slightly heavier yet cheaper copper wiring.
Connectivity has to keep up with the growing video viewing trend. Aside from just viewing, most communication will require visuals too. Apple will be boosting Wifi capabilities into the iPhone and Mac PCs, thanks to the 802.11ac and the 802.11ad which will definitely enhance super streaming. And what’s more, wireless file storage to hard disks is so close to possibility.
As for the operating system, Lynx is all the range for the year 2013. It promises a more powerful convergence of iOS and OS X which is now called OS X 10.9. Predictions have already been adding to the suggestive consciousness as it is expected to take form on July 2013. People are expecting the incorporation of Siri voice in the new Mac PCs, enabling the exciting feature of voice commands. How about a MapKit framework in the Mac to bring out a mapping service?
As for the look and external framework of Apple gadgets, the company boasts the possibility of even lighter and thinner next generation Mac Book Airs. It is highly likely that traditional hard disk drives will be shrunk, and other mechanical components will be updated. Wires and cables will mostly be reduced to adapt more wireless features. Interface is leaning on snappier and practical apps when programs go through updates to keep up with Apple’s wireless future.
It looks like a promising year with all the lined up improvements for Macs and iPhones. But will these be significant against equally advanced competitors after Microsoft’s Windows 8 platform created a new wave of touch PCs for 2012? Sales estimates are expected to reach 41 million iPhones for the first quarter of 2013 so it looks like it is indeed a prosperous start for Apple.
