2022: VR headset and new iMac 27″ silicon?

Two rumors have made a lot of noise in recent hours about projects in progress at Apple, alongside the release of new products from the Californian announced Monday during a keynote. Here they are detailed below.

Augmented reality headset, target 2022

Ming-Chi Kuo is a renowned Apple analyst because, positioned in Asia, he has sources close to certain Apple suppliers. He regularly distils his predictions and analyzes as he did a few hours ago, regarding the augmented reality headset project that the Californian giant is preparing.

In his paper, we can read that the production of this potential noveltywould not start until the end of 2022, during the fourth trimester. As he specifies, this timing does not exclude the possibility that Applepresents the helmet before 2023, for example, during the September 2022 conference or during a presentation in the fall.

Apple would take its time with this augmented reality project, according to Kuo, who adds that the firm is seeking to have a productready on all levels, software, services and relationships in the Apple ecosystem, even before its commercialization.

Kuo ends his analysis by declaring that Apple is the manufacturer most likely to succeed in such an augmented reality headset or glasses project, due to the care taken in the design of its products and software.

27″ iMac project identified

If we can strongly doubt the release of the VR headset in 2022, we can more certainly count on the fact that Apple, next year, shouldrenew your Macs still under Intel architecture.

Among these are the 27-inch iMac and the 21.5-inch iMac. And precisely, analyst Ross Young, specialist in computer screen suppliers, recently told ourMacRumors colleaguesthat Apple would work on adevice with 27″ screen.

It would probably be an iMac. The technology used for the panel would be mini-LED, which is notably used in the new MacBook Pros. THEProMotionwith adaptive refresh rate of up to120 Hzwould be there.

We are obviously also expecting a move to Apple's in-house architecture. Not sure if the M1 Pro will be used on a non-Pro iMac though. Will we perhaps see the M2 released next year to equip this 27-inch iMac, but also a new Mac mini and MacBook Air?
