Gurman: Apple Preparing 'Widest Array of New Hardware Products in Its History' for Fall

According to Mark Gurman, who covers Apple, the company is working on a number of new products that will launch this fall, and it will be the widest array of new devices that Apple has introduced in the past.

In his latest "Power On" newsletter, Gurman explains that Apple is working on four new phones, an updated low-end MacBook Pro, a refreshed iMac, and a new Mac Pro.

We've shared details on many of these devices before and information on what to expect can be found through the links below or through our dedicated upcoming products guide that walks through everything that Apple is expected to unveil this year.

Most of the new products are expected in the fall, but there is a chance that the iMac could come earlier. Apple is planning a spring event in March or April that will see the launch of the 5G iPhone SE, a refreshed iPad Air with an A15 chip, and perhaps at least one Mac.

Apple may use the spring event to bring the M1 Pro chip to another Mac, either a higher-end iMac or Mac mini, but the bulk of the Mac refresh, which will include a new version of the Mac Pro and an entirely overhauled MacBook Air, are unlikely to happen before the

According to Gurman, the upcoming iPad Pro will have an M2 chip and wireless charging, features that make it a candidate for a fall launch rather than a spring launch. It is possible that more than one iPad could be refreshed at the spring event, as Apple submitted regulatory filings for nine new iPads and three new iPhone models.

There are still issues that need to be worked out, so Apple may have pushed back the debut of its augmented reality headset by two years.

Apple's spring event last year took place in April, so we could see a similar schedule this year. The Worldwide Developers Conference in June will be followed by the spring event, which will see the launch of iOS 16 and macOS 13, and then in fall, with so many products planned, Apple is likely to hold at least two events.
