New iPad Air, Macs, and iPhone SE With 5G Likely to Be Announced at Apple Event This Spring

Mark Gurman, who works for the company, said earlier this week that Apple will be holding a spring event to announce a new phone. Gurman said in his newsletter that the event is likely to happen in March or April.

Rumors suggest at least four products are likely to be unveiled, including a fifth-generation iPad Air with similar features as the new iPad mini, a new iPhone SE with 5G, and a new Apple TV.

There is a new iPad Air.

A fifth-generation iPad Air is in the works with features that will bring it to parity with the sixth-generation iPad mini, including an A15 Bionic chip, a 12-megapixel Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage support, 5G support for cellular models, and Quad-LED True Tone

The new iPad Air will have the same design as the current model, with a single-lens rear camera, according to a report. The current iPad Air has a slim design with a Touch ID power button, and is available in Space Gray, Silver, Green, Rose Gold, and Sky Blue.

A new phone.

The third-generation iPhone SE will have the same design as the current model, with a larger display, Touch ID home button, and thicker bezels, according to an Apple analyst. The A15 Bionic chip found in the iPhone 13 models will be one of the key upgrades to the device.

Changes to the iPhone SE are not expected until at least next year. Ross Young, a display industry consultant, has proven to be a very accurate source of display-related information for future Apple products, and he claims that Apple will release a fourth-generation iPhone SE with a larger 5.7-inch display in 2023 or 2024.

The report claimed that the new iPad Air could be announced alongside the third-generation iPhone SE this spring.

The iMac has been redesigned.

In the first half of 2022, Apple is rumored to release a new iMac with a mini-LED display. The new iMac is expected to support ProMotion, which will allow a variable refresh rate up to 120Hz for smoother content and scrolling.

The new iMac is rumored to be powered by the same M1 Pro and M1 Max chips as the MacBook Pro. The design of the iMac should be similar to the thinner design of Apple Silicon.

The Mac Mini is high-end.

A March or April announcement would make sense, as Apple is expected to release higher-end Mac mini models with M1 Pro and M1 Max chips this year.

The Mac mini was updated with the M1 chip in November 2020, but only for lower-end configurations, with higher-end models still using Intel processors.
