A range of Macs and iPad are rumored to be coming before the end of the year. We're not going to get an October event in 2022, but we'll probably get a press release soon. If you're going to buy a Mac or iPad, make sure to check out our list to make sure you don't end up buying something you don't want.

iPad Pro

An updated version of the iPad Pro is expected before the end of the year. There aren't a lot of design changes that we know of, but there are some that are worth waiting for.

The 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models will get a refresh, but there are rumors that only the 12.9-inch model will have a mini-LED display.

The M2 chip used in the new MacBook Air is expected to be used in the updated iPad Pros. There are rumors that Apple will add a larger glass Apple logo at the back of its products to allow for MagSafe charging.

There is a chance of reverse wireless charging with the new iPad Pro model.

Low-Cost iPad

This year, the cheap iPad is getting some trickle down features that have previously been limited to higher-end iPads, as Apple continues to offer a low-cost basic iPad.

The old design of the low-cost iPad will be refreshed with a more modern look and feel. This design was used for the iPad mini, iPad Air, and iPad Pro.

There are rumors that the iPad will have a Touch ID Home button, but it's not clear if that's true. The power button Touch ID used for the iPad mini and the iPad Air could be used for the iPad mini.

With the exception of the low-cost iPad, every iPad uses ausb-c port, and Apple is going to swap for lightning for the 10th- generation iPad refresh.

One thing that the iPad might lose is the headphone jack. The low-cost iPad would be in line with the rest of the iPad lineup if the headphones were removed.

14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro

We might see new M2 Pro and M2 Max models before the end of the year, as the M1 Pro and M1 Max MacBook Pros came out in October of last year. There is a chance that the release of new MacBook Pro models will be pushed back because of supply constraints that Apple has been dealing with.

Mac Mini

When the M1 chip was added, there was no Mac mini refresh. M2 and M2 Pro chips could be included in an updated Mac mini device.

The highest-end chips will probably be reserved for the Mac Studio, which is a hybrid of the Mac Pro and the Mac mini.

Apple TV

It may be time for an update to the Apple TV. There are rumors that a new model with an A14 chip and 4 gigabytes of RAM is in the works and could be ready to launch before the end of the year.

It remains to be seen if Apple will lower the price of the Apple TV when it is refreshed.

Bonus: Mac Pro

It's obvious that now isn't a good time to buy since the Mac Pro hasn't been updated in a while. There were rumors that a new Mac Pro could be released before the end of the year, but it looks like that won't happen.

We don't recommend buying a Mac Pro right now because we don't know when it will be updated. You're going to want to wait for Apple to bring its ultra fast Apple chips to its machines.

There are rumors that the Mac Pro will have an M2 Ultra chip, an upgrade to the M1 Ultra, and an even more powerful chip. The M2 Ultra could be even more powerful than the M1 Ultra because it has up to a 20-coreCPU and a 64-coreGPU.

The M2 Extreme will be Apple's most powerful chip to date, and according to Mark Gurman, it could have as many as 40 and 128 processor cores.

Wrap Up

We've heard rumors that some of these could be delayed, so it's possible that they won't be ready in time. If you can wait on a purchase, it's a good idea to hold off on a new device until a new product announcement.
