Next year will be full of news from Cupertino: Apple looks ready launch several products for 2022. With iPhone redesigned, major modernizations in the line Mac e MacBook but above all with the new headset for mixed reality (AR and VR). So much so that some analysts expect that next year will be the most important for Apple since 2007, when Steve Jobs announced the very first iPhone.
Apple: all the products it will launch in 2022
The information on the upcoming Apple launches is interesting not only for technology enthusiasts, but also for those who invest in this sector. For this reason there are more and more analysts who collect information to predict the next 12 months of products presented by Cupertino. Mark Gurman recently announced in its newsletter the devices with the bitten Apple coming in 2022 and most of these have received confirmations from leaker and insiders.
So, even knowing that no one can really predict the future, especially in the period of sanitar chip and lockdown crisisi, let’s try to figure out which ones tech products Designed in Cupertino are coming.
Apple enters the Metaverse: the AR / VR viewer will be among the cult products of 2022
First we can only put the most revolutionary announcement, which marks the Apple’s entry into a new sector: the viewer for mixed reality. A device that has been talked about for a long time (and about which we too have written a lot) and that should debut in 2022.
The viewer doesn’t have a name yet: it could be the Apple Glass, iGlass oeven the Apple View. But what we do know is that Apple really believes in it, so much so that some executives believe they will be able to replace the iPhone in about ten years. The viewer will serve both for augmented reality (thus adding information in the real world) and for virtual reality.
An Apple Silicon processor as powerful as the MacBook Pro is expected to handle 15 cameras that will capture both the outside world and the movements of the wearer, even those of the eyes. In fact we will interact with the virtual world that we see in two 8K screens using only our hands and our movements, without any controllers.
The device should cost a figure close to $ 3,000. But at the moment we don’t know when it will have its launch window. But we think that Apple wants to reserve a special moment for him, perhaps at the end of 2022. To underline that it is one date they consider historical: like the first Mac in 1984, iMac in 1999 or iPhone in 2007.
Apple products in 2022: the news in the world of iPhone
Apple announced the iPhone 13 in September, but maybe we shouldn’t have to wait that long to see the announcement of another iPhone. Indeed according to the analyst Ming-Chi Kuo A new 5G version of the iPhone SE is expected to arrive this spring. The design will still be based on iPhone 8, with the center button for Touch ID. While in 2023 an updated version with the design of the iPhone XS will arrive.
Instead, we are waiting for the arrival of in September 2022 iPhone 14. The new Apple smartphone will change a lot compared to the current line. First of all, there will be no more iPhone Mini. Instead will come a Standard version, a Max, a Pro and a Pro Max. Also, it will be the first iPhone Pro with 48MP main camera for pixel binning, e will remove the notch (perhaps by carrying a Touch ID under the screen, although this is less secure).
All the Apple Mac news
With last year’s launch of the chip M1, Apple has revolutionized its line of computers: Macs and MacBooks have returned to the center of attention of the world of technology. And it looks like Apple plans to surprise us even more next year.
A new series of Mac mini, con i chip M1 Pro e M1 Max seen this year on the 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pros. And according to Gurman, there may also be an updated version with chips M2, even more efficient in terms of power and consumption.
2021 Apple iMac
In addition, new, more powerful iMacs are expected to complete the transition to Apple Silicon chips already begun this year. In particular, the new ones iMac Pro they should have a larger screen: 27 inches for the base model and 30-32 inches for the top of the range.
At WWDC 2022, Apple may also present the cousin mac pro chip Silicon, which the professionals have been waiting for. It should have one 32-core CPU and 128GB GPU, to make even video rendering and 3D operations a breeze. In addition, it seems that Apple may launch a new one Pro Display XDR to have a quality but more affordable external display.
All of these launches should arrive at June 2022, when Apple meets its developers. But instead in the fall it could announce a version with a new design of MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro, both with an Apple M2 chip.
Apple Products 2022: New iPads on the way
The next will also be an important year for iPad, which will see several models ready to redo their look. In fact we expect it to arrive in a new one iPad Air, which is the only one that has not yet received an update in the era of M chips. We do not yet know if it will have an chip M1 but it looks like a better camera for the FaceTime video calls.
Furthermore, it always seems in the spring of 2022 that Apple is ready to update iPad Pro. We expect a design with fewer bezels and the arrival of wireless charging. More difficult, however, to understand if Apple will update the chip again, after introducing the M1 this year. Maybe it could come the same M2 that we will see on the MacBook Air?
In October, the Apple should also update the 10.2 inch iPad, even if in this case the information on possible novelties is scarce.
The Apple Watches coming next year
In September 2022, three new Apple Watches should arrive from Cupertino. First the next Apple Watch Series 8, which should have a new design and new features designed for health. We think of a sensor for measuring the body temperature and of pressure.
In addition, Apple is expected to launch a Watch SE 2, which should get even closer to the top of the range. In fact, in addition to the new S6 processor, the lettore ECG e l’Always-On display. It seems that a rugged version may also arrive. Although other analyzes (such as those of Gurman) indicate that a third model called Apple Watch Sport will arrive, designed to be more resistant.
Apple products 2022: audio and smart home
Apple is also expected to announce a new version of the AirPods Pro. Also because the current model came out in 2019 and needs an update. Maybe it should have some health sensors so it becomes the headphones ideal for those who train. Some rumors speak of a spring launch but it seems more likely that we will have to wait until the end of 2022.
Finally, it appears that Apple is working on launching a version of HomePod who also has one screen. Apple currently has only a small percentage (less than 5%) of the smart home market, where Amazon dominates and Google is a distant second. Maybe this product could change that. And there are rumors that speak of a launch of a 15-inch iPad in 2023 which could also act as a smart screen.
These are the products we expect to see next year, with the AR headset certainly being the center of attention. Some rumors want Apple TV to come in a version that allows you to do as well console, but at the moment there are no confirmations. The much discussed Apple Car it should arrive after 2025, if it does.
But the Cupertino agenda is already full of announcements as it is: we can’t wait to check if all these news will be confirmed next year. We will keep you updated for any news regarding Apple products arriving in 2022.
