Season’s Greetings from the AppleInsider Team

It looks like 2024 is going to be a rollercoaster in the Apple world, what with Apple Vision Pro finally being released, and the iPhone 16 range already sounding exciting.

But AppleInsider is not taking a break, we will be with you throughout the holidays with the latest news as it happens. Normally you wouldn’t expect a great deal of news at this time of year, but there is just that issue of when in the world Apple will be able to sell the Apple Watch again.

Then whether or not Christmas is a quiet time for news, it’s also the moment when more Apple devices are activated than ever. A lot of people are going to be giving and receiving iPhone, Apple Watches, iPad, and more.

If you don’t want to be the one who has set up iPhones and Apple Watches for every single friend you’ve got, point them at us. We’ve got guides for setting up every device and they are continually updated.

So if it’s been a while since you moved to a new iPhone, you might find the guides useful too.

We hope you’ll also take a moment to enjoy our month by month review of 2022 in Apple News. You will be astonished how some things we take for granted were only introduced a few months ago, and equally there will be events that seem like they were just yesterday.

As well as looking at the past, though, this year AppleInsider wants to look at the future — and needs your help. AppleInsider has not stood still during its 26 years, and that isn’t going to change now. What you can do to help us keep evolving is tell us what you need, what you don’t need, and how AppleInsider can best serve you.

Join the discussion on the AppleInsider forums to tell us what you think, and also to see what your fellow readers feel.

See you in the forums, and also right here throughout 2024. It’s going to be a good one.
