Apple big plans for 2014

Apple has 'big plans' for 2014 :

     Apple CEO Tim Cook tells employees Apple has 'big plans' for 2014 that 'customers are going to love'. Tim Cook sparked more speculation over what the tech giant might have up its sleeve in 2014.
     Tim Cook discusses people experiencing Apple products this holiday season, the Apple products launched throughout 2013, and corporate initiatives. "The holiday season, tens of millions of people around the world, from all walks of life, are experiencing Apple products for the first time. Those moments of surprise and delight are magical, and they are all made possible by your hard work," Cook says in the beginning of the email.

"We have a lot to look forward to in 2014," including some big plans that we think customers are going to love. I am extremely proud to stand alongside you as we put innovation to work serving humankind's deepest values and highest aspirations. I consider myself the luckiest person in the world for the opportunity to work at this amazing company with all of you.
So what is Cook talking about? There are a handful of rumoured new projects at Apple that could launch next year.
The first is the iWatch (possibly dubbed iWatch), a wearable wrist-computer, which will work as a companion to your iOS devices and an enhanced fitness tracker. Apple already make a big push towards better collection of sensor data and the M7 chip in the iPhone 5s. Apple also improved Bluetooth functionality in iOS and OS X in preparation for a wearable. This could be put to better use in the iWatch.

Next is Apple's rumoured television set. We have heard over and over again that Apple is trying to expand its TV product, but we have yet to see any new gadgets in the category. There's still a small chance 2014 could be the year.

Finally, there's the bi-annual iPhone refresh and the iPhone 6, which is supposedly a large iPad with about a 13-inch screen, with possibly have a larger display with updated internals. There is also a chance that the iPad Pro will be a hybrid device, that is part laptop and part tablet, sort of like Microsoft's Surface.
