Maintain on to your hats, Apple followers, as a result of the corporate is supposedly getting ready an enormous launch later in 2022, and this fall might witness reveals of the “widest array of recent {hardware} merchandise in its historical past” no much less, doubtlessly together with a raft of Macs.
That’s based on revered Apple leaker Mark Gurman, who shared particulars of what we would count on to be unveiled in his ‘Energy On’ e-newsletter (as flagged up by MacRumors (opens in new tab)).

On the computing entrance, the purported launches to come back embrace a refreshed iMac, a brand new Mac Professional, a revamped MacBook Air, and a recent low-end MacBook Professional so as to add to the laptop computer combine.
We may additionally see, Gurman theorizes, a low-end iPad plus iPad Professional fashions, 4 new iPhone 14 variations, and a trio of Apple Watches, plus an AirPods Professional improve.
So, sure, that might make for a spectacularly packed occasion, however as all the time with rumors, we have to be skeptical about what we hear.
Gurman himself admits that he isn’t certain fairly how issues will pan out but, and that Apple has a spring occasion to come back first, doubtless in March or April. He describes this because the “appetizer for what could possibly be a feast of recent merchandise in 2022”, however he acknowledges that the overhauled iMac might arrive on the earlier occasion (maybe with the M1 Professional chip inside). Or one other risk talked about is a high-end Mac mini within the spring.
In brief, we could properly see one Mac on the spring occasion, however this may doubtless deal with the likes of the iPhone SE (in all probability with 5G) and possibly an up to date iPad Air.
Evaluation: Banquet of merchandise might properly embrace a pair of recent MacBooks
As Gurman factors out, it’s typical for Apple to load up the second (fall) occasion of the 12 months with all of the juiciest stuff, as these gadgets popping out simply earlier than the vacation season sparks some bumper gross sales (beefy income that are anticipated by Wall Avenue by now, in fact). Nonetheless, to see this potential feast of merchandise arrive later this 12 months would actually be one thing, and at least 4 new Macs amongst these ranks (possibly – once more, that is partly educated guesswork on Gurman’s half, little doubt, at this cut-off date).
It is definitely believable sufficient, although, and each the purported new MacBooks would naturally be keenly awaited, and are already strongly rumored to reach later in 2022. The incoming redesigned MacBook Air (which is at the moment prime of the listing of our greatest laptops) is predicted to introduce new colour schemes and be thinner and lighter than ever, plus it may gain advantage from Apple’s Mini-LED show tech (possibly minus the notch, too). The Air may additionally run with a next-gen M2 chip (apply salt now).
As for the brand new low-end providing for the MacBook Professional vary, this might additionally use the M2 silicon, going by latest chattering on the rumor mill from one other well-known Apple leaker, Dylandkt (opens in new tab), who claims {that a} new M2-powered MacBook Professional 14-inch will change the present Professional 13-inch mannequin on the entry-level. It should have a “slight worth enhance” utilized, apparently, and the identical design (and ports) as the present 14-inch fashions.
