- The new iPad Pro is apparently coming in 2022, along with three Apple Watch models.
If you've seen the iPhone 13 launch and been a bit disappointed by the lack of real updates for Apple smartphones or the new iPad (2021), don't worry, as it looks like 2022 could be a really big year. for the company. This comes from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, writing in his weekly Power On newsletter, who writes that "2022 will definitely be a stronger performance." According to Gurman, next year we'll see a new iPad Pro model and three new Apple Watches, along with upgrades to AirPods Pro, improved computers, and an iPhone that actually looks like an upgrade. This suggests that 2021 was just one full year for Apple, as illustrated by the products themselves, so if you were about to buy a new Apple device, it might be worth the wait.
Analysis: what are these new Apple products?
It's worth noting that Gurman's Apple 2022 product lineup isn't tied to any particular event, and it's likely that they'll slowly be unveiled as the year progresses. We'll probably see the iPad Pro early in the year, but with Apple Watches later on. The new iPad Pro (2022) has been something Apple fans have been excited about for quite some time, even before the release of the iPad Pro (2021) or iPad Pro (2020). That's because analysts are predicting it will be a big spec leap over the predecessors. The high-end tablet will apparently have an OLED display, larger screen sizes than its predecessors, MagSafe support, and wireless charging, if various leaks are to be believed. These are all early rumors, so take them with a pinch of salt, but it's enough to get the Apple community excited. Then the three Apple Watches, what could they be? Well, the Apple Watch 8 will almost certainly be one, and the Apple Watch SE 2 may well be another, as a mid-range alternative to the Series 8. And the last one then? A truly connected watch on a shoestring budget? A fitness tracker that rivals Fitbit? A Pro or Pro Max version of the Series 8? We can only guess at this point. While we still haven't heard about Apple's plans for 2022, the fact that Gurman suggests it's a bumper year is reason enough for fans of the tech giant to get excited.
