We’re with a Worldwide Developers Conference on the horizon for five months in 2022, followed by Apple’s September event not too long. The second half of the year is shaping up to be an exciting one, as rumors suggest we can look forward to the launch of updated Macs, iPhones, and a range of accessories. In our latest YouTube video, we’ve covered five products we can’t wait to get our hands on.
- Macbook Air – The MacBook Air is getting its biggest refresh since 2010, which puts it at the top of our list. Apple is going with a refreshed iMac-like design, which means the MacBook Air is expected to get fun new colors and off-white bezels and a white keyboard like the 24-inch iMac. It’s also going to get a facelift, with Apple eventually abandoning the tapered look for a more streamlined MacBook Pro-style look. Completing the upgrade, the MacBook Air is expected to be one of the first to adopt the M2 chip, which is the follow-up to the M1. Rumor has it that the M2 will have an 8-core CPU and a nine- or 10-core GPU.
- mac pro – The Mac Pro is probably the most exciting product to come out in 2022 as it will see Apple end its transition to Apple Silicon. After the Mac Pro comes out, Apple will no longer rely on Intel chips, and Mac Studio has shown us that the Mac Pro’s Apple silicon chip is going to be impressive. The Mac Pro is expected to have a chip that houses a 40-core CPU and 128-core GPU, double the M1 Ultra.
- iphone 14 pro max – All iPhone 14 models will be an upgrade over the iPhone 13 model, but we chose the 14 Pro Max because it’s going to have all the bells and whistles. It won’t have a notch, Apple will instead implement a dual display cutout look with a pill-shaped cutout and a circular cutout. It will come in new colors, include camera improvements, and have a faster A16 chip, which really won’t come to the iPhone 14 and 14 Max.
- airpods pro – Apple is finally going to refresh the AirPods Pro in 2022, and they could have a whole new design that does away with the small stem on the bottom. Apple is testing a more rounded, compact shape. There are also rumors that the next generation AirPods will have support for Apple lossless audio and better Find My integration that will let them play sound when they are lost.
- apple watch series 8 – Last but not least, the launch of the Apple Watch Series 8 is going to be interesting as there is a new one arriving this year – a rugged model. In addition to the standard Apple Watch Series 8, Apple is rumored to be working on a more durable version of the Apple Watch aimed at athletes, hikers and those who use the watch in more extreme conditions. A body temperature sensor and car crash detection are also rumored features.
