- Highly Anticipated Apple Products Are Likely Late and May Not Be Announced at WWDC
- This mainly concerns the Mac Pro
- Neither iPad nor Mac Studio seems to be on the conference program
TheJune 5, Apple organizes its traditionalWorldwide Developer Conferencein the United States. An event which will be broadcast live, and which you will of course be able to follow in our columns. Beyond the new features of iOS 16 and the next edition of macOS, this show could also lift the veil on certain productsasa virtual reality headset and a MacBook Air.
Despite everything, there are still serious gray areas regarding the WWDC program, which the organizer is keeping secret until the last moment. To guide us, however, several rumors have emerged in recent weeks, suggesting above all that delays risk spoiling the party. Let's take stock.
1 – No Apple Car, obviously
Apple has been working on it for many years now, but its car will probably not see the light of day in 2023. Indeed, although multiple patents on this subject reached us even until very recently, nothing indicates that a model final has been validated. And like Cupertinocontinue ses testsof autonomous vehicles in California, the same is certainly true for technology associated with LiDAR.
The Apple Car, rumor has it, is a particularly ambitious automobile project100% electric and connected. The most reliable researchers are betting on a release date for 2025 at the earliest, while others think that the beast could arrive a little earlier. But in general, before such a presentation, leaks suggest the name of the final subcontractors, or reveal stolen photos. However, today, none of this has yet been published.
2 – Still no Mac Pro?
If there's one that all eyes are on, it's the Mac Pro. Its last version dates from 2019, but Apple announced at the end of 2020 that its entire computer range would switch to proprietary chips within a two-year deadline. However, it is clear that no renewal has taken place for the Apple firm's most powerful machine.
THEretards, however, this is not what is missing with Apple. We can bet that the company is doing everything it can to unveil the future Mac Pro during the September keynote, but again nothing is less certain. It's unclear what the device might look like or what its potential price would be. On the other hand, indications suggest that Intel processors will still be offered under the hood, optionally with Apple silicon motherboards.
3 – The new iPad Pros are long overdue
The latest iPad Pros, Apple's most powerful tablets, date from October 2022: so don't expect to see new versions arriving in June. For the third quarter, however, all bets are off. Among the major new features of the next models, a screen designed with the systemOLEDis apparently in the pipeline.
Better yet: in all likelihood, one of the premium iPads could carry a massive diagonal of14.1 inches. The device could then overshadow the Nest Hub and the Amazon Echo with an XXL display, in particular thanks to excellent integration with the rest of the Apple ecosystem. Patience…
4 – Mac Studio: unlikely
Before finishing, let's also mention the case of the Mac Studio, probably one of the best quality/price ratios for adesktop computerApple. Clearly more affordable than a Mac Pro and much more powerful than a Mac mini, this unique product inaugurating a whole new collection was released in March 2022. Just a year ago, that is to say the rate of update. usual day for Apple – at least until the recession takes its toll.
Except that... here again, longer delays than expected would be expected internally at the American manufacturer. It is difficult to know the reasons, but inflation coupled with the relocation of production factories to Asia may have something to do with it. To find out for sure, see you at next month’s keynote.
5 – AirPods Max ?
Finally, we will not mention the iPhone or the Apple Watch, the release dates of which are commonly planned for the fall. However, the case of AirPods is a little different: the second generation of the classic model was, for example, presented in March 2019. However, although the AirPods 3 and AirPods Pro 2 are rather recent, the AirPods Max are starting to date. .
This wireless headset with Bluetooth connectivity arrived on the market at the end of 2020, and several rumors suggest that Apple is preparing tonew colors. When? That's the whole question, because leaks on this subject have been at a standstill for several months now.
