New Mac mini models with M2 and M2 Pro chips, as well as new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M2 Pro and M2 Max chips, are included in the latest edition of Mark Gurman's PowerOn newsletter.
Gurman said Apple will transition to Macs with the M3 chip, including an updated 13-inch MacBook Air, an all-new 15-inch MacBook Air, a new iMac, and possibly a new 12-inch notebook.
According to Gurman, Apple is working on a new Apple TV with an A14 chip, a new HomePod with the same S8 chip, and an augmented reality headset.
The new HomePod will have an updated display on the top of the speaker and be closer to the original in size.
The new Apple TV, code-named J255, is in development with an A14 chip and an additional gigabyte of RAM. That compares with the A12 chip announced as part of the 2021 Apple TV last year and could be useful for additional gaming capabilities rolling out in tvOS 16.
The HomePod, code-named B620, will run the same S8 chip coming to the watches and will be closer to the original HomePod in terms of size and audio performance rather than a new HomePod mini. The new HomePod will have an updated display on top and there's even been some talk of multi-touch functionality.
Gurman said he was told that the S8 chip will have the same specifications as the previous S7 and S6 chips. The next Apple watch may use the S8 chip, according to Gurman.
Apple is expected to release a larger iPad with a 14-inch to 15-inch display in the next two years, according to Gurman.
