With the arrival of the new year, the exposure information about Apple's new year on the Internet has gradually increased, and it has been revealed that Apple will hold a spring new product launch conference on March 8.
Originally, the author was ready to wait for the scattered news on the Internet to "fly for a while", and then do a combing and prejudgment near the large product release node.
However, in view of the fact that there are many exposure information points in the same direction, including some core products that everyone cares about, the author decided to "catch up with the opportunity" and talk to everyone about some products that Apple may launch this year and make some actions.
Below, the positive film begins.
It was revealed that on March 8, Apple will hold a spring new product launch
In fact, the news was not "breaking news", but stemmed from the prediction of Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman. He said apple will release the iPhone SE (third generation) and iPad Air (fifth generation) at the conference.
From 2015 to the present, in addition to 2017 and 2020, Apple did hold a spring new product conference every year, of which the first generation of iPhone SE was released at the spring new product conference in 2016.
2017 is the year that the iPhone X and iPhone 8 series were released at the same time, probably because of the strategic adjustment, so it was not held; in 2020, the probability is that the original planned conference was canceled because of the epidemic, and the next year 2021, that is, last year, was held online, so it is not unreasonable to speculate that this year will also hold a spring new product conference, and it is very likely that the online way will still be used.
However, as far as the situation in previous years is concerned, the probability of the beginning of the month is relatively small, and the possibility of holding it at the end of March or the end of April is greater.
iPhone SE (3rd generation)
According to many reports, Apple will launch a new iPhone SE. It is reported that the new SE compared to the previous generation of iPhone SE in the overall appearance size of no change, the only big adjustment is that the screen will be changed to a full screen design, fingerprint recognition will be replaced by facial recognition.
If the rumors are true, then Apple's current official mobile phones will no longer see the figure of fingerprint recognition.
Other aspects are the previous routines of the SE series: the chip has been upgraded to the latest A15, the running memory has been increased to 4GB, the screen has been increased to a 90Hz refresh rate, and the battery capacity has been increased to 2200mAh.
Although from the operation of the iPhone 13 narrowing bangs, it is not impossible for the new iPhone SE to become a full screen, but in terms of this operation, it will make the positioning of the iPhone's current Mini model more awkward. Coupled with the fact that the small screen opening mold is also a difficult thing, the author personally feels that the probability of the iPhone SE appearing on the full screen this year is not very large, and the probability is that the internal hardware of the second-generation iPhone SE is routinely upgraded, and the color of the back shell may increase.
Either there is a possibility that there is no new SE this year, and it will take a few years to say, after all, the first generation of the second generation SE is 4 years old.
iPad Air (5th generation)
There is not much news on the Internet at present, but judging from the release rhythm of Air, it is also possible to update this year.
It is speculated that even if it is updated, there will not be much change in appearance, and the chip should still use the A series.
M2 chip
This call is very high, but in terms of the M1 Pro and M1 Max that were just launched at the end of last year, the M2 is likely not to be launched this year.
However, Apple is likely to add M1 Pro and M1 Max chips to more products this year, and Mac Mini, iMac, and Mac Pro may usher in a more powerful model version equipped with M1 Pro and M1 Max, and there is also a probability that it will be unveiled at the spring conference.
iPhone 14's bangs become "pills"
This year's iPhone digital series was exposed extra early and consistent. According to the current exposure information, this year Apple is likely to have a "big move" in Liu Hai, combined with the narrowing of the bangs of the iPhone 13 series, there is reason to believe that Apple will soon open the knife in the Liu Hai of the new generation of iPhones.
Judging from the current conceptual rendering drawing based on the breaking news, the bangs area of the iPhone 14 series will become an "exclamation point", and there are also explosive maps that indicate that it will be a "pill" in the center.
In addition, the volume keys will return to the round buttons similar to the iPhone 4 era.
However, in general, there are still great variables in the early exposure of the new iPhone digital series, and closer information still has to wait until the middle of the year.
