Apple Set to Step Up Product Launches in 2022 After Modest 2021

After a modest set of device launches in 2021, Apple Inc. is set for a stronger 2022—with new iPhones, AirPods and potentially a VR headset. Also: The company gives top engineers bonuses of up to $180,000 and imposes new limitations on New York City stores in response to the omicron surge.

By revenue, 2021 was the most successful year in Apple’s history. But while its product lineup had some solid additions—namely the new MacBook Pro—it wasn’t a smash hit year of introductions. That will change in 2022.
