Gurman said that from 2020, 2021 to 2022, until recently, Apple also planned to launch the device in January 2023 and ship it within this year.

Gurman said that to achieve this goal, Apple has mobilized resources from various software and hardware engineering departments, which has affected some other projects, some of which have been delayed and budget cut due to the economic slowdown, Gurman said. Mann believes that means Apple may have fewer major breakthroughs to watch this year.
