We have already heard reports that Apple will hold an event in March or April to introduce iPhone SE 5G and a new iPad Air with A15 chip. According to Mark Gurman on Bloomberg’s Power On newsletter, Apple will not launch a new iPad Pro in the Spring, but a new model with an updated design, M2 chip and wireless charging later.
He said that M1 Pro chip will power a new Mac in the first half of this year, which could be the long rumoured higher-end Mac mini or iMac. However, the new MacBook Air and Mac Pro models are expected only later this year.

“Apple is readying the widest array of new hardware products in its history this fall,” says Gurman. Here’s what to expect:
- iPhone 14, 14 mini, 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max
- Low-end MacBook Pro
- Updated iMac
- New Mac Pro
- Revamped MacBook Air
- AirPods Pro upgrade
- Three Apple Watch models – Series 8, SE, and Rugged
- New low-end iPad
- New iPad Pro with M2 chip, wireless charging
For the WWDC in June which will also likely be a virtual event, it should introduce iOS 16 (Sydney), tvOS 16 (Paris), macOS 13 (Rome), and watchOS 9 (Kincaid), but no hardware devices are expected.
