According to the tradition of previous years, Apple will hold a spring conference in March and April this year to release a series of new products. Judging from the current revelations, 5G new iPad Air, new MacBook Air, new iMac and iPhone SE third generation.
According to the breaking news, the fifth-generation iPad Air will be launched at this conference. The new iPad Air will be equipped with the A15 bionic chip and equipped with a 12MP front-facing camera to support 5G cellular networks.
It is worth mentioning that the new iPad Air has not changed in terms of appearance design, which is basically the same as the previous generation. It comes with a 10.9-inch display, narrow bezels, Touch ID power button and USB-C port, and color options include space gray, silver, green, rose gold, and sky blue.
Rumor has it that Apple plans to release a redesigned 27-inch iMac with a mini-LED display in the first half of 2022. The new 27-inch iMac is expected to support ProMotion, enabling variable refresh rates of up to 120Hz.
In terms of configuration, the new 27-inch iMac features the same M1 Pro and M1 Max chips that debuted last year in the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro.
In addition, there are rumors that Apple is also expected to release a high-end Mac mini model with M1 Pro and M1 Max chips this year. Apple has already updated the Mac mini with the M1 chip in November 2020, but only in low-end configurations, and the high-end models still use Intel processors.
Editor's comments: In 2020, Cook said that Apple will use about two years to completely transition from Intel to self-developed chips, and this year is the final battle, we will see Apple's entire series of products equipped with self-developed chips. However, there have also been reports that the MacBook of the M1 chip has problems such as system/software crashes, and more devices are equipped with self-developed chips, and the test for Apple will be even greater.
