Apple will probably launch refreshed iPhone and iPad fashions at its rumored occasion subsequent month, and now newly unearthed paperwork suggests they may very well be joined by Macs.

As noticed by Consomac (by way of 9to5Mac), the Cupertino tech firm registered a trio of Macs within the Eurasian regulatory database as mannequin numbers A2615, A2686, and A2681. The merchandise are described in these filings as laptops and desktops, and if rumors are correct, we may very well be a refreshed Mac mini, 27-inch iMac, and MacGuide Pro. The database has two separate entries for 3 whole merchandise.

• Personal Apple computer systems of A2615, A2686 (macOS 12 software program model) and their spare components.
• Apple moveable A2681 (macOS 12 software program model) and its components.

Apple’s first main occasion of the yr will happen on March 8, based on a Bloomberg report that additionally predicts a brand new Mac with Apple-designed chips arriving as quickly as March.

The submitting for these mysterious Macs was uncovered only a few weeks after iPhone and iPad fashions appeared in the identical database, signaling the upcoming launch of the oft-rumored next-gen iPhone SE and iPad Air. As 9to5Mac notes, these kinds of filings usually seem a couple of months earlier than they’re unveiled, so the timing right here suggests the iPhone, iPad, and Mac might debut on the identical spring occasion. We wouldn’t carve something in stone simply but contemplating some merchandise aren’t revealed till a yr after being noticed in regulatory paperwork.

Along with new telephones, tablets, and laptops, Apple is predicted to debut a high-end Mac mini, based on several reliable tipsters. It will supposedly run on the identical M1 Pro and M1 Max chips discovered within the present MacGuide Pro 14 and 16, which ought to give it a major efficiency edge over the present mannequin.

Tim Cook stated in Apple’s M1-series chip announcement that the tech big would full its transition away from Intel inside two years. It is nicely on its method towards attaining that aim, with solely three merchandise—the iMac Pro, high-end Mac mini, and the Mac Pro—standing within the away. Last yr’s spring occasion, which occurred in mid-April, noticed the launch of colourful new iMacs. Bringing a brand new high-end iMac on stage a yr after updating the iMac would proceed Apple’s usually predictable launch cadence. As for the Mac Pro, an ARM-powered mannequin in all probability gained’t arrive till later, although we might see an up to date Intel model within the meantime.

Our greatest guess is that these filings are for a brand new high-end Mac mini desktop with M1 Pro chips, a 27-inch iMac with M1-series processors, and a refreshed MacGuide Pro 14. That stated, we would not see all, and even any, of those units in March, because the spring occasion is rumored to give attention to a brand new iPhone SE and iPad Air. Also, it could make sense for Apple to carry off on revealing a brand new Mac Pro till its WWDC convention in June, and for many who are questioning: the brand new MacGuide Air with M2 processors is rumored for the second half of this yr.
