We have been hearing a lot about the upcoming Apple devices for the past few weeks and now yet another report claims that the company is all set to launch the next-generation Apple Silicon’s M2 chipset.

Not just that, the report from Mark Gurman of Bloomberg’s Power On newsletter also goes on to add that with the introduction of the M2 chipset, the company will be launching four new Mac devices this year.

The Macs expected to get launched later this year include the 13-inch MacBook Pro, a 24-inch iMac, and a redesigned MacBook Air. As noted all these devices will be updated to the M2 chipset as all of them are already powered by the M1 processor.

Currently there’s not much known about the M2 chipset and nothing has been revealed by Apple but the report indicates that the M2 will be slightly faster than the M2 chipset and will have the same eight-core architecture but the graphics cores may get increased from seven or either to nine or 10.

It is also said that the Cupertino-based tech giant may launch the Pro and Max version of the M2 chip next year, similar to what the company did with the M1 chipset. Also, it is also expected to launch the M3 chip next year.

Apple is moving away from Intel-powered Mac devices to its own Apple Silicon and to complete the process, the company is expected to launch a new 27-inch iMac Pro which will be powered by the M1 Pro or M1 Max processor. There are also reports about the M1-powered Mac Mini to get a Pro model powered by M1 Pro or M1 Max, in addition to a new model powered by the M2 chipset.

Apple is gearing up to launch several products this year and the company is expected to host its first launch event of this year on 8th March where it could unveil the next-generation Apple iPhone SE budget smartphone.

There have been few leaks about the upcoming 27-inch Apple iMac Pro and now the latest report indicates that the Cupertino-based technology giant could officially launch this new Mac sometime in the month of June.

Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants claims that the Mini-LED iMac Pro could launch in June 2022. This could mean that the new iMac Pro might get unveiled at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference.

Earlier, there were reports that the product could go official sometime in summer this year. Based on the reports so far, the upcoming iMac Pro will come with a revamped design and upgraded specifications.

The 27-inch Mini LED display could have support for a 120Hz refresh rate. It is said that the device will feature a design similar to the 24-inch iMac which is powered by an M1 chipset. It is expected to come powered by the recently announced M1 Pro and M1 Max chipsets from Apple, the same processors that are powering the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models launched last year.

Apart from the Apple iMac Pro, the company is gearing up to launch several new products throughout this year, including the AirPods Pro 2, M2 chipset, new MacBook models powered by a new processor, and much more.

Apple’s new Mac Mini powered by M1 Pro and M1 Max chips could launch during spring event

Apple had launched an updated version of the Mac Mini towards the end of 2020, making it one of the first devices to come powered by Apple Silicon’s new M1 chipset.

Ever since the launch of the M1-powered Mac Mini, there have been rumors about a more powerful Mac Mini being under work. Now, a new report hints that the more powerful model could go official later this year.

According to the report from @dylandkt, the first event of Apple in 2022 could have an upgraded Mac Mini powered by the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips. It is also being said that the product will have a new design.

If the previous reports are to be believed, then it will have a thinner body with a polycarbonate top, an increase in the ports at the back, and a magnetic power connection.

The new Mac Mini isn’t the only device that Apple is expected to launch at the spring event in the coming months. It is also expected to launch a new iPhone SE with 5G connectivity support, an updated iPad Air, and a bunch of other products.

However, the highlight could be the highly-anticipated iMac Pro which is said to be still on track to get launched during the spring event. It is also expected to be powered by the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, but we’ll have to wait for the official launch as the production delay or issues may affect the devices set to go official during the spring launch event.
