Redesigned iMac Pro, new AirPods Pro, and more coming this year

Apple plans to launch a third-generation iPhone SE with 5G and faster chips, a new iPad Air and at least one new Mac powered by Apple chips this spring, with an Apple Event likely in March or April.

The new iPhone SE is expected to have the same design as the current model, including a 4.7-inch display with a Touch ID home button.

Apple plans to release a fifth-generation iPad Air as early as this spring with similar features to the sixth-generation iPad mini, including an A15 Bionic chip, 12-megapixel ultrawide front-facing camera support with center stage, 5G cellular model and Quad-LED True Tone flash.

Apple is expected to launch a larger iMac this year powered by the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, which he believes will have iMac Pro branding and a similar design to the 24-inch iMac released last year. High-end Mac mini configurations powered by the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips are also expected to be released this year.

Apple plans a “big update” to AirPods Pro later this year, scheduled to launch in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Apple has tested a more compact design for the second-generation AirPods Pro that would eliminate the stems that fall under the earbuds. If this turns out to be the final design, the new AirPods Pro could look similar to the Beats Studio Buds Apple released last year.

The new AirPods Pro will feature motion sensors alongside the Apple Watch for fitness tracking. The new AirPods Pro will have a "significantly upgraded" wireless chip compared to the H1 chip in the current AirPods Pro. The chip powers audio-related features like active noise cancellation, and improvements to the technology could potentially extend battery life and therefore longer listening time per charge. Kuo also hopes the new AirPods Pro will support lossless audio available through Apple Music.

The new AirPods Pro charging case will be able to emit a sound to help users find it if they misplace it. It’s very likely that the next-generation AirPods Pro will also come with a waterproof charging case, just like the third-generation AirPods case.
