Bloomberg’s Mark GurmansaysApple’s now traditional spring launch has been pencilled in for Tuesday March 8, with mobile products at the top of the agenda.
The first big event of 2022 will, Gurman writes, kick-off a “potentially record-setting year for product launches” from Cupertino. According to the report, it’ll again be a digital presentation rather than an in-person event.
As we’ve previously reported, the iPhone SE is likely to continue with the same iPhone 8-based design of its predecessor, but add 5G and upgraded internals. Larger updates, including a new design and relocation of the Touch ID sensor, are likely to come in a future iteration.
The iPad Air is also likely to get its first new version in a couple of years. It too will get 5G and a faster processor, according to Gurman’s sources.
A new Mac running Apple Silicon processors could also be a surprise inclusion during there event. Gurman doesn’t get more specific about which model it might be, but recent rumours havepointed to a new Mac mini.
