Apple’s plans for 2022 include a redesign of the iMac Pro<\/a>, a major update for AirPods Pro, and a slew of other launches, a report on Sunday confirms. <\/p>\n

\n

Apple is widely expected to introduce a multitude of product updates<\/a> throughout 2022, including typical launches of iPhones in the fall. In a Sunday report, the catalog will include a return of the iMac Pro. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Detailing his expectations for 2022 product launches in Bloomberg’s<\/em> “Power On” newsletter, Mark Gurman discusses the “bigger than the current 24-inch” iMac that’s on the way, one he believes will use the iMac Pro brand. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In his forecast, the model will apparently have “similar chips to the M1 Pro and M1 Max processors inside of the iMac Pro.” The model will also get a facelift, giving it a “similar design” to the 24-inch iMac<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The predictions are unsurprising, as they cover similar ground to other previous rumors, which have put forward the idea of a new iMac Pro model arriving in early 2022<\/a>. In December, one report said it would have a 27-inch display<\/a> with mini LED backlighting and support for 120Hz ProMotion. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The processor claims also date back to another leaker’s claims in October, with the same source claiming on January 23 that it could be an opportunity for Apple to introduce a fourth M1 chip<\/a> variant. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Gurman also mentions AirPods Pro<\/a> in the piece, which will allegedly receive a “big update” later in 2022. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Rumors have previously pointed to a potential “AirPods Pro 2” launch sometime in 2022, complete with a possible redesign<\/a> that could reduce or eliminate the stem entirely. Support for lossless playback has been suggested in rumors, with improved processing enabling new features including auto-switching, on-device Siri, case tracking, and health sensors<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In terms of other launches, Gurman recounts other rumors about a spring event in March or April, which could see the launch of a new iPhone SE<\/a> with 5G, an iPad Air<\/a> update, and a new Apple Silicon<\/a> Mac. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
