Update: New information from Mark Gurman supports the hypothesis that Apple should not announce anything this evening about the 13″ MacBook Pro. See the details further down in the article.
We sawwhat new features Apple should present at its next event: theWWDC 2022 kicks off today with highly anticipated conference.
Some of the products discussed display a greater or lesser degree of certainty regarding their arrival. Still, they all have their chance. On the other hand, regarding the list below, in our opinion, it is better not to bet a cent on an announcement made during the upcoming keynote about them.
Apple Car
As we know, for several years the Californian firm has been working on acar related product. Long nicknamed Project Titan, the latter is now more often called Apple Car in articles that mention it.
But even if we regularly hear about patents, recruitment, car-related technologies at Apple, at this stage, it is still impossible for us to predict what form the final product will take. There has in the past been talk of an electric autonomous automobile, built entirely by Apple. Then the project experienced a turnaround a few years ago with the idea of becoming nothing more than a service or software to be integrated into cars built by a third party. Recently, the hypothesis of the autonomous car produced by Apple has resurfaced, with an assembly carried out in collaboration with another currently unknown manufacturer.

Specialists have already gone there willingly to predict a date from which Apple would reveal its first intentions in terms of automobiles.Most recent analysis, signed Mark Gurman, gives the year2025as a deadline set by Apple internally for the launch of the Apple Car… Taking all these elements into account, we would therefore not be banking on a presentation of the project at the next WWDC.
Apple Glass
Apple's augmented reality glasses are aanother big projectwhich would be underway in the laboratories in Cupertino. Tim Cook has alreadyon different occasionssaid interested in augmented reality and virtual reality technologies. And then the rumors and patents made public regularly mention advances concerning the design of augmented reality glasses at Apple.

Some analysts speak of Apple Glass asthe last big thing in the Tim Cook era. Others have already established aplanning potential: helmet in 2022, glasses in 2025 and lenses in 2023. As explained in our article on probable announcements, this year we could be entitled to the presentation of aaugmented reality headset at WWDC. On the other hand, for the glasses, we will have to wait a little longer, depending on the information available to us to date.
New MacBook Pro 13″
Mark Gurman, in his latest newsletter on Sunday, June 5, said that Apple was not planning an announcement regarding a new 13″ MacBook Pro for its WWDC 2022 keynote. However, the device is starting to date. Its latest version was released in November 2020. And if it came equipped with the Apple silicon M1 chip, just like the MacBook Air and the Mac mini, its renewal is overdue with a move to the M2 chip generation. Unfortunately, and in particular because of the production difficulties encountered by Apple's suppliers located in China, it is betterdon't expect a new generation of MacBook Pro 13″ just yet.However, we could be entitled to it later in the year.
The changes would not likely be drastic. The biggest novelty would logically be the move to a new Apple silicon chip. The machine could also accommodate a notch like the latest 14 and 16″ MacBook Pros, without however completely changing its design.
New MacBook Pro 14 and 16″
For other more classic devices, you have to stick to the schedule of recent releases to try to see a little more clearly in Apple's intentions. MacBook Air, Mac mini, iMac and perhaps Mac Pro should have their moment of glory on June 6.On the other hand, MacBook Pro 14 and 16″ should be discreet at the same time. These date from October 2021. It therefore does not seem possible that Apple will renew them already in June, or even during the summer. The time between two generations would then be far too short. We rather see these machines waiting for the release of potential new generation chips M2 Max, M2 Pro and M2 Ultra, perhaps at the end of this year or next year more certainly.
iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods 4
Finally, you know if you follow us regularly and if you are a faithful follower of Apple news, Tim Cook will not say a word about new iPhones and new Apple Watches at the next WWDC conference. Indeed, these two products are generallyrenewed in the falland presented at a conference usually taking place atmonth of September.
Regarding AirPods, the classic version would probably not see an update before the end of 2022 or even next year, given that the latest generation arrived on the market last October.
Hope for iPads?
Finally for iPads, if we look at Apple's history, we realize that tablets have rarely been the stars of WWDC. It happened once: in 2017, with the presentation of the first 10.5″ Pro model and the second 12.9″ Pro model. On the other hand, the latest generation of Pro models dates from May 2021. It does not seem impossible that the Californian firm will renew its iPad Pro range during WWDC,maybe with an M2 chip?
See you onJune 6, date of the next Apple keynote, to see if we were right or not.
What is the product that you are particularly looking forward to for this WWDC 2022?
Please note, all this information is only hypotheses and analyzes based on the latest rumors and reports from market specialists.
