The third-generation iPhone SE, the fifth-generation iPad Air, and other products were unveiled at the “Peek Performance” event, which also marked the beginning of a busy year for Apple. The WWDC in June came after that, and the “Far Out” iPhone 14 event took place last month. The latter, however, is probably not the year’s last event since Apple frequently concludes things with launches in October or November. Even though it’s not yet known if that event will take place, a number of products are still anticipated to be released this year.
The next iteration of Apple’s entry-level iPad is currently under development and is anticipated to ship with significant upgrades this time. The largest 10.5-inch display, which is likely to be surrounded by thin bezels all around, will be the most notable of these. The new iPad may receive the same treatment as other products in the lineup that have abandoned the traditional home button design. Otherwise, the bezels will be trimmed. Flat edges similar to those on the iPad mini will also be present.
In addition, the upcoming low-cost iPad will probably have a USB-C port, suggesting that Apple may finally be planning to update its entire tablet lineup to the same standard. The A13 Bionic chip will be located inside to take care of the processing requirements.
The 11-inch iPad Pro is rumoured to receive the same mini-LED panel as the 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2021 when Apple updates the tablet this year. Additionally, some rumours suggest a glass back that would support wireless charging via MagSafe. Users may even be able to charge gadgets like the AirPods using the iPad Pro with this feature. However, the iPad Pro is unlikely to experience any screen size changes, unlike the standard iPad.
We haven’t found any information indicating that Dynamic Island from the iPhone 14 Pro lineup will appear this year, though many people may be interested in knowing how it’s doing. A newer chip, most likely the M2, which made its debut in the new MacBook Air, is another reasonable expectation for the upcoming gadget. The storage choices are probably going to stay the same.
Due to the potential inclusion of the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, a more expensive Mac mini model with improved processing power is anticipated to be released this year. This year should see some design changes as well; according to leaker Jon Prosser, it may have a plexiglass-like covering over the aluminium enclosure and will be smaller in size. The new Mac mini will have two USB-A ports, an Ethernet port, four Thunderbolt ports, an HDMI port, and four USB-A ports, according to MacRumors.
There are also rumours that the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models will be updated this year. The M2 Pro and M2 Max chips, which should help the two devices push the absolute limits of laptop performance, will be the most obvious upgrades. Since Apple doesn’t like to make changes every year and last year’s redesign was quite significant, we might see few to no design changes this year. Given that the models from the previous year were released in October, we anticipate the same for this year’s update as well. Last but not least, if the MacBook Air’s price increase is any indication, there may be a price increase.
