So this event would be mac-focused kind of. So head below to see what we should be expecting from the event.
New Mac Book Pros:
One thing that is confirmed is that Apple will definitely show up its new MacBook Pro laptops on Monday. Usually, the event in which iPhone is not to be launched is centered around Macs. According to the rumors, there will be a 14-inch model and a 16-inch model, both of which will offer similar performance in different sizes. The most vital change that is made this year is the addition of a new, more powerful “M1X” chip that is another step forward to the last year’s M1 chip that powered MacBook Pro 2020. While the company has not shared details regarding this but we expect a faster and more powerful system this time for Apple Laptop. Among other changes, we expect 1080p webcams, three Thunderbolt ports for connecting to external monitors, and the removal of the touch bar atop the keyboard.
New Mac Mini:
A new Mac Mini is also expected to show up at the event. Last year’s model had an M1 chip included whereas the new model run on M1X. While nothing much is known about it but Apple leaker jon Prosser has claimed that the M1X model will bump that up to four ports as compared to the Two ones in the previous model. The two will be USB type-A ports, and the other two would be an Ethernet port and an HDMI port. The RAM is improved to be 64GB on high-end configurations, compared to the 16GB cap on the M1 model.
macOS 12 Monterey:
Apple had released iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and watchOS 8 last month, we’re still waiting on the release of macOS Monterey which was planned to be launched this year. It’s expected that Apple will officially announce the release date for macOS Monterey at this event. For those who don’t know about this, it will come with a variety of features such as an all-new Safari, AirPlay to Mac, SharePlay, and FaceTime improvements, and much more.
New Airpods:
For a year we are hearing rumors regarding Airpods 3 and now few are expecting them to show up in this event. Airpods 3 will feature the same design as AirPods Pro, having shorter stems and a more rounded ear design. However, the ear tips would be irreplaceable.
