On March 28, foreign media MacRumors quoted the whistleblower @Jon Prosser news that Apple will hold WWDC (Global Developers Conference) on June 6 (Monday) local time, and it is likely to be held offline.
WWDC 2022 is still expected to be dominated by software updates, and hardware products may not be released too much. Screen industry analyst Ross Young said Apple will release a mini-LED backlit display in the middle of the year. Although the screen quality of Studio Display is good, it is an ordinary LCD backlight after all, and it cannot display HDR content.
HDR video looks much better than SDR video, and many professional video and movie creators are turning to HDR video, and they need a monitor that can perfectly display HDR content. The new mini-LED display, or the studio Dsiplay Pro, is a product somewhere between Studio Display and Xdr Pro Display.
This year, there will be some new products equipped with M2 chips, which may include the new MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, etc., and the time of their release depends largely on the mass production time of the M2 chip. Earlier, Guo Mingpei, an analyst at Tianfeng International Securities, said that the M2 chip will be mass-produced in the middle of this year. If this progress is followed, the new MacBook Air will most likely be released at the fall conference.
At WWDC 2021, Apple released a new generation of iPad Pro, using the M1 chip. In recent years, the iPad Pro has maintained a year-on-year change, and it is expected that Apple will also update the iPad Pro product line this year. Multiple sources said that Apple's iPad Pro 11-inch this year will not be upgraded to a mini-LED screen, due to high manufacturing costs. Ordinary LCD screens show that black will be gray, and the look and feel is not as good as that of the mini-LED display.
In terms of processors, the App on iPadOS is basically less than the M1 chip, even if Apple replaces the M2 chip, it is still a state of excess performance for ordinary consumers.
