Apple finally unveiled its iPhone 14 lineup during the Far Out event.
While it was a pretty packed keynote, the companys customers are always
expecting One More Thing to be announced. Heres everything the company
could have announced, but might be holding for a future event.
10th generation iPad
Apple has been working on more significant upgrades for its cheaper iPad.
Information seen by 9to5Mac reveals that the new 10th-generation iPad
(codenamed J272) will feature a USB-C port instead of Lightning. This means
that Apple is finally planning to bring USB-C to the entire iPad lineup.
With USB-C, entry-level iPad users will also be able to easily connect it to
more modern external displays such as Apples Studio Display. We have also
heard from our sources that the new entry-level iPad will feature a Retina
display of the same resolution as the iPad Airs display. We can expect a
slight screen increase to 10.5 inches or even 10.9 inches. However, more
modern display specs such as a wide color gamut with DCI-P3 and higher
brightness will remain exclusive to the more expensive iPads. While this
iPad could have been announced during the Apple event, it will likely be
unveiled next month on a rumored October event.
iPad Pro?
Its been a year and a half since Apple unveiled the latest iPad Pro during
its Spring Loaded event. While rumors also didnt expect that the company
couldve announced a new iPad Pro during the Far Out event, theres always
a possibility.
In a previous edition of his newsletter, Bloombergs Mark Gurman says he
would expect a revamped iPad Pro with an M2 processor, which 9to5Mac
sources can independently corroborate. With two versions, the 11-inch iPad
Pro with LCD display and the 12.9-inch iPad Pro with miniLED technology,
Apple is planning to bring the MagSafe connection to these tablets.
In addition, a better battery life with new accessories could also be on the
way with this product.
New M2 Macs
Apple is expected to release several new M2 Macs this year. In one of his
newsletters, Gurman writes:
Apple has been working on M2-based versions of the Mac mini, Mac Pro and
MacBook Pro, so I think were likely to see at least a pair of those
machines about two months from now.
Rumors about these computers arent new. Apple itself already announced that
its working on a new Mac Pro. According to Bloomberg, a next-gen 14-inch
and 16-inch MacBook Pros could be announced during the fall of 2022 and
spring 2023 with M2 Pro and M2 Max processors. Last but not least, a
second-generation Apple silicon Mac mini is expected for at least a year
now.
Unfortunately, neither of these products have been unveiled during the Apple
event, as the company focused on three main products: iPhones, Apple
Watches, and AirPods.
Mixed Reality Headset is still Far Out from being announced
Rumors about the Apple Mixed Reality Headset have been ramping up for this
past year. During Apples September event, the company could have revived
Steve Jobss One More Thing phrase to tease the companys upcoming Mixed
Reality headset.
Rumors currently expect it to be unveiled as soon as late this year and
start being sold in 2023. Since it wasnt unveiled during the September
event, Apple could be readying a One More Thing announcement for next
month.
When is the next Apple event?
I know, I know. We havent even had time to recover from the Far Out event,
but a new one could be on its way. Everything points that Apple will hold
one more event in October, focusing on iPads and Macs. It makes sense
because the company also has to release macOS Ventura and iPadOS 16, which
will be available at least a month later than iOS 16, tvOS 16, and watchOS
9.
