    Apple is expected to start rolling out new products starting in the second quarter according to one informed analyst, including the much rumored iWatch, redesigned “iPhone 6,” a 12-inch MacBook Air and a low-cost iMac. According to a recent research note from KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the third quarter is going to be a big one for Apple as the company is promised to release revamped iPad Airs and iPad minis, the iWatch in two sizes, an all-new 4.7-inch iPhone, an Apple TV upgrade, an all-new 12-inch MacBook and an update to the MacBook Pro lineup.

    With the slew of new products, not to mention new product not to mention new product categories, Kuo expects the third quarter to be a very important time for Apple and how the public perceives its future. Kuo wrote the following regarding the matter:

    We believe the rumored iWatch will be Apple's most important product this year, carrying much more weight than iPhone 6, 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.
    If the iWatch is a hit, Kuo believes that in five to ten years, Apple’s competition in the second will no longer be tech companies but instead fashion brand vendors. The analyst says Apple’s success is contingent on five key factors: replacement demand from larger iPhones; whether the new iPads minor upgrades will carry momentum in 014; 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 the Apple TV.

    We’ll ultimately have to wait and see what moves Apple makes and what the reception of Apple’s actions are.

      I need a new iMac, my Late 2006 isn't even allowed to upgrade from Mountain Lion to Maverick, and the screen is deadlined to hell.

      Why a 12" MBP, though? Was 13" too big?
