This is going to be a really big year for Apple.
It's set up to totally overhaul its iPhone line, introduce a television set for the first time ever, and perhaps most importantly, try to stay on top without Steve Jobs running the show.
We're diving into the biggest of big questions floating over Apple for the year.
Will Tim Cook be an inspiring CEO for Apple?
As more time passes without Steve Jobs at the helm of Apple, will the company maintain its magical aura? Tim Cook is nowhere near as inspiring or original as Jobs. Sure, he can keep the company moving in the right direction, but can he maintain the company's mystique? Will people still love Apple and its products in the same rabid way? Does it matter?
Will Apple actually release a television?
This is the biggie. There's been a lot of hype around Apple releasing a TV this year. Will it actually happen?
Will Apple be able to get the content it needs to make a TV revolutionary?

It is reportedly trying to get content from top tier networks to offer some sort of disruptive TV service. Naturally, content companies like ABC, NBC, ESPN, and others aren't ready to throw their lot in with Apple. Can Apple change their minds?
