Apple began 2017 maintaining its inscrutable silence about new or updated products. One of the mobile industry’s most influential companies has been the subject of constant speculation and rumors about new product introductions, including a new iPhone and updates to its Mac Pro desktop, but has yet to announce anything. There also is talk of Apple getting into new product categories; however, the company hasn’t said officially whether it will introduce augmented reality glasses, a virtual reality headset or smart-home devices this year. But that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t: 2017 needs to be a banner year for Apple product introductions if it wants to maintain its sales momentum.
