Here Are the Biggest Tech Innovations Coming Up in 2023

People with a significant amount of experience in the tech world tend to have a good idea about the direction in which the industry might be headed. In spite of the fact that this is the case, many of the upcoming trends for the world of tech can be difficult to predict, and this unpredictability is the very thing that takes the entire industry forward. Without further ado, here are some of the biggest innovations that the tech industry might see in 2023.

1. Streaming Bundles

Netflix is conducting some experiments with ad based subscriptions tiers, and with all of that having been said and now out of the way it is important to note that the success of these experiments could have a huge impact on the streaming industry. We might see Disney snapping Netflix up to bolster its Hulu and Disney+ line up, or Apple might throw its hat into the ring.

2. Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles have already seen growth because of the fact that this is the sort of thing that could potentially end up mitigating the effects of climate change. However, EVs have seen their growth stall due to battery issues such as in the case of Tesla batteries catching fire. Such issues could EVs grow more slowly than might have been the case otherwise.

3. A Wire Free World

Many have been predicted entirely wire free smartphones, and 2023 might be the year when we finally get them. Apple has already taken some big strides to reduce any wires and extra components for its phones, such as with the iPhone 14 which didn’t have a physical sim card tray in many of its models. Wireless charging is also likely going to come to the fore.

4. The Smart Home

Gadgets for smart homes are forming a rising trend, and Matter is at the forefront of such innovations as of right now. While the Smart Home dream may not end up getting fully utilized over the course of 2023, chances are that it will see at least some small amount of growth. People may move towards smart homes without realizing it, and that will be an interesting trend to check up on as 2023 passes us by.

5. The Death of Social Media?

About a decade ago, social media seemed like a bit of an unstoppable force. Now, Facebook is struggling to keep hold of its users, Twitter may be dying under Elon Musk, Instagram is having a bit of an identity crisis and even TikTok is finding it hard to make ends meet after being met with challenge after challenge in American courts. That makes the future of social media rather unclear, although newcomers like Mastodon might push the industry forward.

6. Foldable Apple Products

Samsung beat Apple to the punch by launching a foldable smartphone, and chances are that Apple will be announcing a similar device in 2023. It is pretty unlikely that Apple will be able to release a finished product, but we will probably see a prototype as well as some images that can give us a glimpse of what Apple has in store. It will be interesting to see if Apple manages to bring any innovation to the foldable smartphone category.

7. Sustainability Takes Center Stage

The major narrative for 2023 is shaping up to be all about sustainability. Many have noticed sustainability creeping its way into manufacturing processes, and massive corporations like Apple and Samsung will likely be doubling down on it in the upcoming year. Sustainability will also be a hot topic for consumers themselves since they will be looking for new ways to live as sustainably as possible, and tech will play a huge role in that change.
