Apple reportedly prototyped three different 27-inch iMac models in 2021, including one with an M1 Max chip
As it stands right now, Apple's only iMac option comes in with a 24-inch display. The company quietly removed the 27-inch option some time ago. And while there have been rumors that a replacement is on the way, we're still waiting for that to actually happen. And it sounds like Apple is at least toying with the idea, anyway.
MacBook Air with M2 release date hinted at in a review for a new Android phone
At some point in the near future, Apple is going to launch a brand new, redesigned MacBook Air equipped with the M2 processor. The company already confirmed the new laptop will launch sometime in July, but we're just waiting to actually find out when. And we may have a hint from the unlikeliest of places as to when we can expect to pre-order the upcoming device.
13-inch MacBook Pro with M2 gets the teardown treatment
Apple introduced a new 13-inch MacBook Pro with an M2 processor under the hood at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference. (It was that other laptop the company introduced that wasn't the brand new, redesigned MacBook Air with M2.)

MacBook Air with M2 may launch on July 15
Apple made a hardware announcement at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference, debuting the first look at the redesigned MacBook Air. Of course, the other hardware element was the debut of Apple's new M2 chip, which powers the new machine. Unfortunately for folks who want the new laptop, it's been a bit of a waiting game as Apple plans to launch the laptop sometime in July.
Apple’s rumored 15-inch MacBook may feature M2 and M2 Pro chip options, launch in 2023
Apple has, for the most part, played it pretty safe when it comes to display sizes over the last several years. But if recent reports are to be believed, it sounds like the company is about to start shaking things up. Or maybe it's just testing a lot of different devices right now, and ultimately we'll stick with what we know for final products.
Apple’s Craig Federighi weighs in on M1 iPads and Stage Manager, features, and improvements
One of the biggest new features coming to iPadOS 16 later this year is Stage Manager, the all-new method for multitasking on Apple's most powerful tablets. Specifically, the iPad models that are equipped with Apple silicon under the hood. Which, for now, is the M1 processor.
Apple explains why Stage Manager only works on iPads with M1
One of the biggest new elements to help boost productivity on iPad is what Apple calls Stage Manager. It's a brand new multitasking software tool that helps tablet users get more done. At least, that's the idea. But it's only available on iPad models equipped with Apple's M-series processor, the M1. And today, Apple's hoping to explain why that is.

Qualcomm’s M1 competitor won’t arrive in PCs until late 2023
Apple set a high bar with its M1 processor, and obviously major competitors are going to try to reach it. But Apple's head start may be one of the company's best strengths moving forward, at least for a little while out of the gate. But all that really means is more competition in the segment, which is good news.
