The following are rumors. When we are one day out from an Apple event, rumors tend to be accurate. Nothing is set in stone. If Apple doesn't announce its successor tomorrow, you might wait to buy something. I apologize in that case. It's a good practice to wait until after a confirmed event with reliable rumors before making big purchases.
Apple has a good return policy for its items. You have two weeks from the date of purchase to return your item if you buy something today or tomorrow only to see a new version announced. If you can avoid it, it's much simpler. Whether it's for yesterday's MacBook or tomorrow's, Apple will take your money.
It was easy to recommend the current iPad Air. The edge-to-edge display of the iPad Pro is the same as that of the iPad, but with a super-fast A14 chip and fun colors.
The Air did not stay a shoo-in for long. The base iPad has an older design language and a chip one generation behind, but it costs less than the Air. If the cheapest iPad didn't do anything for you, Apple's iPad mini might, since it has the same design as the Air with a chip one generation newer for $100 less.
Maybe you're thinking about picking up an iPad Air, perhaps for the larger display over the mini, or for one of its unique colors. Don't. The A15 Bionic chip, 5G, Center Stage, rear camera flash, and 12MP Ultra Wide front camera are some of the upgrades that Apple is expected to refresh the Air with.
The perfect iPhone is the iPhone SE. It's cheap, by Apple's standards, and includes all of the essential features you'd need in an iPhone. The original Apple phone was released in the spring of 2016 and rumors about its successor were allowed for four years.
The current SE is two years old and is about to be replaced. Apple is rumored to be launching a new phone tomorrow, with big improvements like 5G, the A15 chip, and refreshed cameras. The overall design of the SE 3 is likely to stay the same, with a Home button on top and bottom. It might come as a disappointment to some, but I love it. There has always been a Home button in Apple's phones.
I'm sorry, but it's not happening if you were hoping to see the iPhone 14. Apple only updates its main lineup in the fall and uses the spring events for smaller releases like the iPhone SE.
You should know that Apple is rumored to be introducing a new color to the 13 lineup. We will see if this is true. If you want a new iPhone and want a bit more green in your tech life, you could sit tight until tomorrow's announcement.
The standard for Apple's smaller professional laptop was the 13-inch MacBook Pro. Things got a bit more complicated with the 14-inch MacBook Pro. The 13-inch MacBook Pro is more of a device for those looking for a slight step-up above the MacBook Air, with a pro starting price of $2,000.
One important thing is that Apple is rumored to replace the M1 chip in the current 13-inch with the M2. The second-gen Apple chip shouldn't be confused with the M1 Pro or M1 Max chips. The M2 is the successor to the M1. It will offer up to nine or 10 graphics cards, an upgrade from the seven or eight that is offered in the.
You don't need to kick yourself if you just bought a new M1 Mac mini. You can always return it within the two-week window, but the M1 mini isn't Apple's focus here. The company is likely to upgrade the Space Gray Intel mini with M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, which are currently found in the newest MacBook Pro models. The M1 Macs are capped at 16 gigabytes of RAM, while M1 Pro and M1 Max offer up to 64 gigabytes.
The Intel Mac mini has more port options than the M1. There are rumors that the M1 Pro/Max Mac mini will carry over those ports. The unit will see a substantial design refresh, going with a plexiglass top with a dual-tone color finish.
The Pro Display XDR is an excellent display. It is also expensive. It makes sense that the company will unveil a cheaper external display tomorrow since many of us want a good Apple display that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. The mini-LED technology found on the Pro Display XDR wouldn't be included in the 27-inch monitor, but MacRumors thinks it would only cost $1,000, compared to the Pro Display's $4,999 starting price. I would take that trade-off.
