The long-rumored Apple AR headset that would overlay computer imagery on top of the real world is reportedly “approaching liftoff,” Morgan Stanley analysts predicted.
Is Apple going to launch a new version of AirPods Pro? That seems like a safe bet. They are one of the most popular devices from the company to date. But it looks like the wait is going to keep on trucking along, at least for almost another year if the latest rumor pans out.
Rumor has it that the next iPad mini could adopt ProMotion, Apple's screen technology providing dynamic refresh rates up to 120Hz which could also help fix jelly scrolling.
It's been a bit of a busy years (going on a busy two years, honestly), so no one would blame you if you didn't remember that, at one point, it was rumored that Apple could be launching a brand new operating system in 2021. Or just rebranding an existing framework. Either way, "homeOS" was all the rage for a very short period of time, and now it's back to help stoke the rumor flame.
Apple's transition to displays with mini-LED technology is only an interesting one if you follow the rumor mill. If you do, then you know that the expectation is that Apple, at some point in the relatively near future, is going to make another transition in its display technology usage. This one will be to OLED, a technology that a lot of people have been demanding for quite some time.
The global chip shortage has worsened and not even Apple is immune to this industry-wide supply chain problem. According to a new report, the Cupertino company has sharply cut back on iPad production and redirected certain tablet components to the latest iPhone 13 models in order to boost handset inventory and support holiday sales.
A leaker with an established track record claims that an Apple silicon edition of the iMac Pro all-in-one desktop is in the works, with claimed new features such as Apple's latest M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, a mini-LED display featuring dark bezels, the possibility of Face ID, some of the legacy ports found on the redesigned MacBook Pro and other tidbits.
A rumored mixed-reality Apple headset combining virtual and augmented reality should feature fast Wi-Fi 6 connectivity and arrive sometime in 2022, a reliable analyst predicts.
In October, Apple finally launched the brand new third-generation AirPods after months of rumors and speculation. Not that there was any chance Apple wouldn't update one of its most popular products. But, now the rumor mill can turn its attention towards another pair of Apple-branded truly wireless headphones, the upcoming update to AirPods Pro.
Since all we have to work with is the rumor mill and the stories that come out of it, it sure does seem like nothing about developing the Apple Car has been easy for Apple. We already know the project has been in development for years, which in itself is not a red flag (most projects of any size take years to develop). But we also know that it has changed quite a bit over time, too, with Apple at point even considering not launching a physical car at all, and focusing solely on software inside. But, as of right now, it appears that Apple is still planning to launch an actual consumer-ready automobile at some point, even as the speed bumps keep lining up.
In October of 2021, Apple welcomed one of the biggest redesigns for the MacBook Pro lineup to date. Specifically, while the company did welcome back plenty of ports (much to the happiness of professionals out there), they also brought in mini-LED displays and a notch for the brand new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro. But the company isn't quite done shaking things up, with the middle of 2022 reportedly tuned up to present radical changes to the MacBook Air lineup.
Apple is predicted to release a new 27-inch iMac model featuring a backlighting module based on mini-LED technology and dynamic refresh rates up to 120Hz, among other things.
