Apple is widely expected to unveil a new Mac next month, but with the high-end Mac mini, the 27-inch iMac, and the Mac Pro all still featuring Intel chips and Apple's M1 machines from 2020 now reaching almost 15 months in age, it is not.
Mark Gurman, who often reveals accurate insights into Apple's plans, recently reported that Apple is planning to host a special event on Tuesday, March 8. The event is expected to include the announcement of the third- and fifth-generation iPad Air.
According to a recent report from Gurman, Apple will announce at least one new Mac powered by Apple chips. Apple is expected to launch five new Macs this year.
There are laptops.
There are desktops.
According to Gurman, the new mini-LED iMac or the Mac mini may be the one unveiled at the spring Apple event.
There are no indications that the new MacBook Air or Mac Pro will be arriving next month, and it looks like the announcement of the Mac mini. There was a rumor last year that Apple was going to launch a mini version of the Mac at an event in October.
Young said in December that a new iMac Pro model with a mini-LED display was going to launch in the spring, and Gurman said that the machine could be announced at a spring event. Young doesn't expect the new iMac Pro to launch in the spring, with a summer launch seeming more likely for the high-end all-in-one device. The release of the iMac Pro is expected in August or September.
Apple is rumored to be working on a Mac mini to replace the Intel-based models that are still in the product lineup. The Space Gray model with an Intel processor is still the entry-level version of the Mac mini. This high-end model is expected to be replaced this year with an Apple Silicon model that features the first redesign since 2010
The new device is expected to feature the MacBook Pro's chips, up to 64GB of memory, four Thunderbolt ports, and a design with a & See our detailed guide for more information about what to expect from the high-end Mac mini.
It is likely that the new Mac that will be announced at Apple's spring event is the high-end Mac mini.
In December, Gurman was the first to report that Apple was planning to launch an updated entry-level MacBook Pro with no Touch Bar. This machine was assumed to arrive later in the year, but a recent report claims that it will arrive in March. The leaker behind the correct rumors about the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models last year also claimed that the new 13-inch MacBook Pro will be released in March.
The debut of the M2 chip in a new MacBook Pro may make sense since a redesign of the Mac would be better. It would be more understandable if the new mac mini appeared at the event.
There are rumors that the high-end Mac mini; will mirror the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro's chip options, but this does not disqualify Apple from also upgrading the entry-level.
There are questions about how the new entry-level MacBook Pro will compare to the current high-end MacBook Pro.
It is important to note that Apple filed three new Mac models in the Eurasian Economic Database earlier this month with the model numbers A2615, A2686, and A2866, which suggests that the launch of new machines is imminent. The other two Macs are desktop machines. It's possible that this relates to two Mac mini models and a 13-inch MacBook Pro model.
Reports in the immediate run-up to Apple events often reveal critical details about new products, as was the case with the last-minute revelation of the MacBook Pro's notch last year, so more information about new Macs could still come to light in the coming weeks.
