Apple’s ‘early year’ event has traditionally been focused on the education space and products not in the ‘front line’ in the public’s mind. Over the years notable product launchers have indulged the two generations of iPhone SE, the iMac, and various iPads.. The third-generation iPhone SE - which disappointingly is going to retain the design language of 2014’s iPhone 6 - will take the lead in terms of smartphones.
It is the Mac platform that will have the most action. Following last year’s release of the ‘entry-level’ iMacs, the more powerful desktop computer is expected to launch with the updated M1 Pro and M1 Max chipsets seen in the highest specced MacBook Pro laptops. Also on the desk, the Mac Mini may well see a move up to these faster M1-based processors as well.
The latter is perhaps the most interesting. Given the launch of the M1 Mac Mini in October 2020, that implies an 18-month update cycle for the standalone desktop box. There has been a lot of discussion on the MacBook platform, specifically the MacBook Air, also having an 18-month update cycle. Is that now likely?
