The kind of 'bring the family together' kit for the home, showcasing Siri enhancements for voice perhaps. There's surely an opportunity here to bring 'the most powerful Mac ever' to the fore once more, perhaps with an ultra-powerful top-end M2 variant?Įntirely unrelated to the above ultra-powerful kit, there's scope for an all-new HomePod, with a new design, to arrive ahead of the holiday period. The above neatly segues into the only current Mac product that doesn't offer Apple silicon: the Pro (which is still built on Intel hardware, which isn't really Apple's main message any more). It also fits the story of slowly ushering Intel out of the door from Apple's line-up. M2, which is already on the market, could clearly be advanced in the same way as that, giving a mid-term upgrade year on year for Apple's silicon. With the earlier M1 architecture, Apple progressed it with Pro, Max and Ultra variants to really ramp up the shared memory and integrated graphics power. It's been a long time since the Mini has received a meaningful update, although with the Mac Studio now released maybe now's the time for Apple to quietly retire the Mini instead. We'd anticipate a very simple update without many changes beyond the processor options. The M2 chip was revealed at WWDC 2022, but there was no Mac Mini to take advantage of it. It's nothing but speculation right now though. And with iPadOS 16 already revealed in full, a shiny new top-end iPad with the best hardware available would indeed be the ideal way to showcase that. The Pro ought to be the next iteration of iPad to receive an update.
