New Macs
It’s now more than two years since Apple revealed, in June 2020, that it would be transitioning all its Macs from Intel processors to its own silicon within two years. Apple’s already updated many of its machines, including the MacBook Air, Mac mini, 24-inch iMac, 13-inch MacBook Pro, 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro, and launched the Mac Studio. Plus at WWDC in June 2022 Apple introduced the M2 chip in the MacBook Air and 13in MacBook Pro. Read Everything you need to know about the M2.
That still leaves the following Macs in need of an Apple silicon update. And don’t forget that the autumn of 2022 will also bring an update to macOS, which could bring new features geared specifically for the newest Macs. Here’s what we’re still expecting to arrive this year.
Mac mini
In a December 2021 Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman indicated that there will be two new Mac minis coming in 2022. Alongside the M2 Mac mini, which surprisingly didn’t launch alongside the M2 MacBooks, Apple is said to be working on a new Mac mini with M2 Pro that will replace the Intel-powered Mac mini model that Apple kept in the line up.
When? October 2022
MacBook Pro
If the Mac mini gains an M2 Pro chip the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro are likely to follow suit.
When? October 2022
iMac
A M2 iMac–and we hope an M2 Pro iMac–could/should be in the pipeline at Apple. Perhaps even the revival of the iMac Pro.
When? WWDC 2023
Mac Pro
Work is said to be underway on the Apple Silicon Mac Pro, which could feature an M2 Ultra or even an M2 Extreme.

When? WWDC 2023
15-inch MacBook Air
Rumors of a larger MacBook Air have been circulating for some time and 2023 could be the year we finally see a bigger MacBook Air.
When? WWDC 2023
New iPads

We got a peek at iPadOS 16 at WWDC and the final version of iPadOS 16 is expected in October (read about what could be coming in iPadOS 16). Here’s the new hardware we expect to arrive alongside the OS update:
iPad Pro
Rumors suggest we can expect a new iPad Pro with updated design and wireless charging support. Given that the current iPad Pro has an M1 chip, we expect the new model to gain an M2. Additionally, MagSafe support for the iPad is also said to be in the works with reverse charging to power other devices from the iPad.
When? October 2022
iPad (10th generation)
Rumours indicate we can also expect an update to the standard iPad in 2022 with a new chip and a slightly larger screen – but the Home button will remain. Read more in our round up of rumors about the 2022 iPad. If big changes are coming it might not arrive until 2023 though.
When? October 2022 or Spring 2023
Bigger iPad Pro
There could be a 14-inch iPad Pro coming from Apple. Mark Gurman predicts that Apple will release a 14-inch iPad Pro in 2023.
When? Fall 2023
iPad mini
A new iPad mini – seventh generation – could be coming in 2023.

When? Fall 2023
New iPhones
The arrival of a new set of iPhones in September 2023 is highly likely, but will other new iPhones arrive in 2023?

iPhone 15
The iPhone 15 (and Plus, Pro and Pro Max) is likely to arrive, like clockwork, in September 2023.
When? September 2023
iPhone SE Plus
This is a long shot, but a few years ago now there were rumors that Apple could launch a bigger version of the iPhone SE Plus – which would mean that those who want a big iPhone and a Home button would have an option.

When? TBC
New categories
If Apple was never to innovate away from the products it makes right now it could be left behind as technology progresses. It’s no surprise therefore that the company is working on various new areas. We don’t necessarily expect these to land in 2022, but rumors suggest that some of them still could arrive.

HomePod with screen
This might not arrive in 2022, but we do hope there is some truth in the rumours that Apple is working on a HomePod with a screen. We’ve always said that a screen would make the HomePod infinitely more usable, but perhaps we are the only ones who hate having to talk to our speaker.
A screen would extend the uses of the HomePod beyond audio into visual – so you could watch podcasts and news reports and YouTube videos, but most usefully communicate via FaceTime.

When? Spring 2023

Small/cheap Apple TV
There could be a smaller and cheaper Apple TV in the works at Apple. A tweet by the unverified account of Ming-Chi Kuo in May 2022 claimed that Apple is planning on releasing a new version of Apple TV that “improves cost structure” in the second half of this year. Read more here: A cheaper Apple TV could be coming in time for the holidays.
When? Spring 2023
AR Glasses/Mixed Reality Headset
Apple’s made clear its interest in augmented reality, and we may hear more about its plans to make AR Glasses. The rumors suggest that we could see Apple’s AR Mixed Reality product in the next year.
Maybe Apple will show off something at WWDC 2023 in an attempt to get developers to design apps for the new device, but don’t expect to see a final product soon.
When? WWDC 2023
Gaming console
There are even rumors that Apple could have plans to release a games console – or at least an Apple TV with improved gaming credentials. Take a look at Apple games console rumors.
When? Fall 2023
