(MENAFN- Youm7) Apple usually holds two major events every year: one in June for WWDC and the other in September for new iPhones. Sometimes, Apple also holds a spring event in March or April, where it showcases new products for Mac and iPad.
For example, if in the past few years Apple has launched iMac, iPhone SE, AirTag, and more at these events and after this chronology, Apple is expected to introduce new devices for the iPad and Mac series this year as well.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is working on new versions of the iPad Pro and iPad Air, which will join the five existing iPad models: iPad Pro, iPad (9th and 10th generations), iPad Air, and iPad mini, and are also scheduled to launch in the fall. Spring, that is, in the first quarter of the year, before Apple turns its attention to the annual WWDC developer conference in June. Highlights of what we can expect from Apple in March 2024:
New iPad lineup
iPad Air with larger screens
The new iPad Air models are expected to feature larger 10.9-inch and 12.9-inch displays respectively, but that’s not all the performance will also get a boost through the powerful M2 chip, while the rear camera will receive a redesign as well as significant improvements to Wi-Fi connectivity. -Fi and Bluetooth.
iPad Pro has OLED displays
Apple isn’t just focusing on the Air. It’s also rumored that new iPad Pro models will be introduced that will feature 11-inch and 13-inch OLED displays. These displays will be brighter, more contrasty, more power efficient, and superior in other aspects to the models’ LCD displays. The latest iPhone and Apple Watch models, with the exception of the cheaper iPhone SE, already have OLED screens.
OLED displays will likely make iPad Pro models more expensive. iPad Pro models have had ProMotion since 2017, which allows a refresh rate ranging from 24Hz to 120Hz, and with OLED, the refresh rate can drop to 10Hz or less to save power. The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro models can have a refresh rate of up to 1 Hz in Always-On Display mode.
Rumors also suggest that the new iPad Pro models will feature a more powerful M3 chip, support MagSafe for easy wireless charging, and come with a redesigned Magic Keyboard that has a larger trackpad and aluminum surface. Furthermore, the rear camera may get a revamp. also.
To complete the package, Apple is also allegedly developing a new Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil designed specifically to work with the new iPad Pro models.
MacBook Air 15-inch
Apple also plans to update its MacBook Air line with new 13-inch and 15-inch models powered by the M3 chip, according to Bloomberg reports. The M3 chip is Apple’s latest processor that powers the new MacBook Pro and iMac models launched last year.
The new MacBook Air models will be part of an iPad launch event, which is unusual for Apple because it doesn’t usually confuse iPad and MacBook ads, and the M3 chip will improve gaming performance in the MacBook Air models, with more realistic graphics and effects.
The M3 chip also supports the 14-inch MacBook Pro, 16-inch MacBook Pro, and 24-inch iMac models released last year.
The design of the MacBook Air models won’t change much this year, but they will likely have Wi-Fi 6E connectivity like other Macs. The 13-inch MacBook Air model was last updated in July 2022, while the 15-inch MacBook Air model was introduced in June. 2023.
Apple is also working on M3 updates for the Mac mini, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro, but they’re not ready yet. Bloomberg reported in November that Apple had not yet begun extensive testing of the M3 Urtla chip that will power the new versions of the Mac Studio and Mac Pro. This suggests Apple will delay Mac Pro and Mac Studio updates until later this year, but a new Mac mini with an M3 chip may be possible. New color for iPhone 15 series
It’s not just a new device, but we can expect a new color variant for the iPhone 15. Apple has been releasing a new iPhone color every spring for the past few years, and last year, it introduced a new yellow color for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus models. We may see this The year announced a similar announcement for the iPhone 15 models.
Apple Provides Vision Pro The Vision Pro, Apple’s new augmented reality headset, recently went on sale in the US on February 2, but Apple did not mention any information about when it will be available in other countries. However, in a recent report, analyst Ming- Chi Kuo says Apple will reveal global availability details before WWDC in June. So we can expect it to be official in the spring announcements, perhaps in March or by April.
