Next year has the potential to be one of Apple’s biggest years. With tons of products rumored to be unveiled, which one are you most excited to see the company launch in 2022?
New higher-end iMac
Apple is expected to debut a new 27-inch iMac powered by Apple Silicon in 2022. According to leaker Dylandkt, the new iMac is likely to feature a high-end Apple Silicon chip on the inside, with a miniLED display. ProMotion technology could also come to the iMac for the first time.
Rumors have indicated that the iMac will feature a base model configuration of 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage, just like the new MacBook Pro. Ports on the new iMac will reportedly include an HDMI port, an SD card slot, and multiple USB-C/Thunderbolt connections.
Redesigned MacBook Air
After redesigning the 24-inch iMac and the new MacBook Pro, Apple is rumored to make a new MacBook Air. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported early this year that this new computer will feature new colors, have white bezels, and a white keyboard.
Just the same as the M1 Pro/M1 Max, this new MacBook Air could have a notch and Bloomberg believes it will feature an M2 processor, with the same number of computing cores as the M1 but run faster.
Another iPad Pro
While Apple brought one of the biggest updates to the iPad Pro in 2021 with a miniLED display, M1 processor, and up to 2TB of storage with 16GB of RAM, there are rumors regarding a new generation slated for 2022.
Bloomberg has reported that Apple is developing a redesigned iPad Pro with a glass back. This change would allow for the iPad Pro to support wireless charging for the first time. Another change rumored to come with the 2022 iPad Pro is an expansion of mini-LED display technology to the 11-inch iPad Pro for the first time. This is the display technology that first came to the 12.9-inch iPad Pro in 2021.
But even if Apple launches another amazing iPad Pro, it’s the iPadOS that needs to receive a massive update, as it still needs to unlock the iPad’s full potential.
Three new iPhones rumored to launch in 2022
Apple is expected to launch not only the iPhone 14 line as well as a new iPhone SE next year. This iPhone SE 3 is expected to be similar to the current iPhone SE, but with the addition of an A15 chip on the side and 5G connectivity.
About the iPhone 14, it’s rumored to feature a major overhaul as analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that the lineup will consist of two 6.1-inch models and two 6.7-inch models.
While the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are expected to feature a new hole-punch design, the iPhone 14 will include dramatic improvements to the front-facing camera, according to Kuo. In terms of the rear camera, Kuo says the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will be upgraded to 48-megapixels, an increase from the 12-megapixel sensor in iPhone 12.
