Based on what’s happened in previous years and predictions from various experts, it looks like Apple will be hosting a special event this spring. But what will he launch and when will this event take place?
Read on for everything we know about new upcoming Apple products like the new iPhone SE, AirPods Pro, iPad Air, iMac, and more. We also let you know when they are likely to be announced.
When is Apple’s Spring 2022 event?
- Prediction: Tuesday, March 28, 2022 at 10 a.m. in San Francisco (7 p.m. in Europe)
Apple is believed to be celebrating its spring event (again virtually) on March 28. Our prediction is based on the calendar of spring events in recent years, which took place mainly in March.
However, in 2022, the event took place on Tuesday, April 20, and on the other hand, iPhone SE 2nd Generation was announced on Friday, April 24, 2020. That’s why there is a possibility that the event will hold on April.
In this sense, Tuesday, April 19, 2022 may be another option, although this date is unlikely since it would coincide with the Easter weekend (this year Easter Sunday is April 17), so if the event takes place in April, we think it will be at the beginning of the month.
Our theory is based on when the spring event has occurred in recent years. As you can see from the list below, Apple doesn’t hold a spring event every year, but it seems more likely that Apple will hold one in March.
- 2021: Tuesday, April 20 (virtual event)
- 2020: There was no event in March due to COVID-19, but the iPhone SE launched on April 24 this year
- 2019: Monday, March 25
- 2018: Tuesday, March 27
- 2017: There were no events in March
- 2016: Monday, March 21
- 2015: Monday, March 9
- 2014: No events in March
- 2013: No event in March
- 2012: Wednesday, March 7
- 2011: Wednesday, March 2
- 2010: Thursday April 8 (that year there was also an event in January)
Apple has continued to launch products and hold events during the pandemic, but the company, like many others in the industry, has been hit by component shortages and other issues with shipping and handling. supply chain disruptions.
These issues may mean that the products Apple intends to launch at the Spring 2022 event may not be ready in time due to production delays. This could be another reason to assume that the event will take place in April and not March.
What will Apple announce at the Spring 2022 event?
There are plenty of predictions floating around about what products Apple might launch this spring, as we’ll see below. But first, let’s start by taking a look at what Apple has released during Spring Events for the past few years.
Here’s what Apple announced during the latest spring events:
- 2015: In 2015, Apple holds a Spring Forward event and announces the price and release date of the original Apple Watch. He also introduced the 12-inch MacBook.
- 2016: During the event Let us connect you In 2016, Apple released iPhone SE, iPad Pro 9.7, and iOS 9.3.
- 2017: In 2017, there were no events, but Apple sent out a press release to launch the 2017 (Product)RED iPad and iPhone 7.
- 2018: Apple’s spring event had an educational focus in 2018 and was held at a school in Chicago. Apple announced a new iPad (with Apple Pencil support), updates to Pages, Numbers and Keynote, and GarageBand.
- 2019: In 2019, Apple hosted the event It’s show time in March and focused on Apple TV+, although that service didn’t launch until November of that year.
- 2020: It was the start of the pandemic, so there were no events, but Apple launched the second generation of the iPhone SE in April 2020.
- 2021: Apple held a virtual event in April 2021, launching the AirTag, second-generation Apple TV 4K, 24″ iMac with M1, and iPad Pro with M1. Apple also showed off a new purple color for iPhone 12.
So without further ado, here’s what we expect to see at the Spring 2022 event. You might also be interested in our article on all of Apple’s plans for 2022.
iPhone SE 3
A few years ago, in 2020, Apple fulfilled the dreams of those who were disappointed when the original iPhone SE, released in 2016, was discontinued in September 2018.
The SE was a hugely popular iPhone, being both the smallest and cheapest on offer. There is no doubt that the second generation of the iPhone SE was popular for the same reasons, but mainly for having a Home button.
It is said that there could be a new iPhone SE on the way, and this time it could be bigger or arrive alongside the iPhone SE Plus. It’s also possible that it’ll adopt Face ID and lose the Home button (which we think would be a bad move, since some people really appreciate having the Home button).
ipad air
The iPad Air wasn’t updated in 2021, so it needs some attention from Apple, especially now that the iPad mini has a better processor. While the cheaper iPad mini has an A15 processor, the iPad Air seems to be a little behind, packing an A14.
Will the iPad Air have an M1 chip like the iPad Pro? We don’t think so, or at least not until the iPad Pro gets a processor upgrade.
AirPods Pro
Last updated in 2019, the need to update AirPods Pro is greater than ever with the introduction of the third generation of AirPods in October 2021.
The standard AirPods now look more professional than ever thanks to their shorter temples, although they lack the removable silicone tips of the Pro models.
iMac Pro (or iMac for professionals)
Another product likely to be updated in the spring is the larger iMac. Expect the 27-inch iMac to be updated with a larger display and several design changes inspired by both the 24-inch iMac and Apple’s Pro Display XDR.
We can also expect Apple to include the option to choose either an M1 Pro or M1 Max processor, although it’s possible it will go even further with a dual-chip configured with twice the GPU and CPU. .
mac mini pro
In 2020, two Mac mini models have an M1 processor, while another is stuck with an Intel processor. We think there will soon be a Mac mini with the M1 Pro chip (or even a model with the M1 Max) to replace the Intel-based Mac mini.
Could this be the rumored Mac mini Pro?
iPad Pro
In April 2021, the iPad Pro acquired the M1 chip, so you would think it would be refreshed again in the spring of 2022. However, we believe the iPad Pro refresh won’t happen until later in the year. ‘year.
Indeed, the next iPad Pro processor upgrade will likely be the M2, which won’t arrive until next fall. It’s true though that the spring event has often served as a stage for showcasing new iPad Pro models, so who knows?
Mini Apple TV
Apple could benefit from a smaller, cheaper Apple TV as it could help its TV+ subscription service reach the masses.
On the other hand, Apple has already reached an agreement with several TV manufacturers to include Apple TV+ in their devices, so it may not be necessary to use an Apple TV to stream new Apple content. Even Roku and Amazon already include the service on their devices.
Apple games console
Another possibility is that Apple is launching a game console based on the Apple TV. In fact, it’s rumored to launch a powerful new Apple TV that rivals gaming platforms.
HomePod with screen
According to some rumors, Apple would also prepare a new HomePod with screen. It could be a hybrid product combining HomePod with Apple TV and iPad. That sounds, why not, like an excellent combination.
