As we head into the end of the year, most of Apple’s biggest releases of the year are behind us: annual operating system updates, iPhones and iPads, AirPods and Macs are already out.
New MacBooks with M2 Pro and Max chips are rumored to arrive in November, but the latest rumors claim they’ve finally been pushed back to 2023. And while Apple is working on iOS 16.2 and macOS Ventura 13.1, these updates are not expected before December. .
But that doesn’t mean there won’t be news this month. New betas are coming, and let’s not forget the ever-growing Apple services: there’s always new content for Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade.
And if you’re looking for a discount on any Apple product (or accessory), November is the perfect month, because with Black Friday deals it’s usually easy to find them at the lowest price of the whole year.
What Apple hardware products will arrive in November 2022?
Apple TV 4K (3rd generation)
The only Apple device we know of is coming in November, yes or yes, is the third-generation Apple TV 4K. It was announced in October and went on sale on November 4.
With a new starting price of $169 / MXN$3,199, double the storage and an A15 chip, it’s a nice upgrade over the last model. The new Siri Remote also has a USB-C charging port instead of Lightning.
MacBook Pro with M2
The 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros entered our lives only a year ago, but they are expected to be updated with new M2 chips soon. Beyond that, the laptops should be similar to the 2021 generation.
We thought they might arrive in late October or early November, although the most recent rumors suggest they won’t arrive until March with macOS Ventura 13.3.
black friday
Granted, these aren’t new Apple products, but they might be for you if you’re enjoying the biggest sales of the year. Apple does not offer discounts in its stores, but other official stores and distributors such as Amazon, Fnac or Macnificos do.
From the company, the typical gift cards could arrive every year, worth between $25 and $100 and which you can take with the purchase of a product in the Apple Store (usually previous generations).
What Apple software will arrive in November 2022?
In October, the first major iOS 16 update arrived, along with the first versions of the new operating system for iPad and Mac (iPadOS 16.1 and macOS Ventura 13.0).
In November, several betas are expected, while Apple will work to polish the new features. However, its release to the general public might not happen until December.
iOS 16.2
The Home app is getting a major overhaul to make it faster and more reliable, but you’ll need to update all your other Apple devices to version 16.2 (and macOS 13.1) for everything to work properly.
The new Freeform app for iPhone, iPad and Mac will also be available.
iPad OS 16.2
This release will add the Freeform app and restore external display support for the Visual Organizer to the iPad M1 and M2.
macOS 13.1
The first macOS Ventura update will bring the new Freeform app and a revised Home app architecture.
tvOS 16.2
The highlight of this version is a new Siri experience, with a new interface and multi-user voice recognition.
