What to Expect From Apple's New Products as Early as This Week
Mark Gurman reports Apple will announce new products this week, including updates to the iPad Pro, Vision Pro, and likely a base 14-inch MacBook Pro. These updates will likely feature Apple's next-generation M5 chip, without a traditional launch event. Instead, Apple will reportedly use press releases and promotional videos. The new iPad Pro may have the M5 chip, increased RAM, and a minor design change removing the "iPad Pro" inscription. The Vision Pro update might include the M5 chip, a more comfortable head strap, and a Space Black color option. The 14-inch MacBook Pro will also receive an the M5 chip, with more significant changes planned for models further down the line. Rumors suggest future MacBook Pro models will have OLED displays, touchscreen capabilities, and cellular connectivity. Other potential product updates include the HomePod mini with a new chip and Siri integration and an Apple TV with a faster chip. Apple's focus currently is on smart glasses, with the development of the advanced Vision Pro and a lighter "Vision Air" model delayed.
