In my mind, 2014 is shaping up to be Apple’s wildest year in the post-Jobs era. Last year, we saw a lot of incremental innovations from Apple but no thunderous new products. Sure, the new Mac Pro is insanely small, quiet and super sexy — not to mention manufactured in America, which is no small feat these days — but it’s also a niche product for professionals. Apple’s street creds and ultimate success are firmly entrenched with mass consumers. Hence the wild-and-wooly promise of 2014.
