Что покажет Apple в 2022 году
Разбираемся во всех слухах о грядущих новинках компании.

Приближается 2022 год. Это означает, что пора собрать все слухи и инсайды и ответить на вопрос, что нам готовит Apple в следующие 12 месяцев.
iPhone
Начнём пока что с главного устройства компании. Судя по всему, в 2022 году Apple выпустит сразу пять новых смартфонов.
iPhone SE третьего поколения
Первым айфоном станет новая итерация SE. Если вы ожидаете дешёвый аналог mini, то охладите свои безудержные фантазии — такой смартфон дешёвым не сделать. Мы получим тот же iPhone SE (2020), но с обновлённой начинкой — на системе-на-чипе A15 Bionic.
Скорее всего, Apple будет делать акцент на работе в сетях пятого поколения. «Самый дешёвый iPhone с 5G!» И это то, что будет продавать смартфон в Китае, Японии, США и некоторых странах Европы. Свои 5 % от доли продажи всех айфонов он точно займёт, а это очень высокий показатель для смартфона, производство которого практически ничего не стоит.

До России iPhone SE третьего поколения также дойдёт, но нашему покупателю он будет интересен не очень сильно. У нас SE будут хаять из-за устаревшего дизайна с очень большими рамками и относительно высокой цены — скорее всего, она сохранится на уровне $399 за базовую версию.
Судя по всему, Apple назовёт его iPhone SE Plus. Но в размерах смартфон останется прежним. Видимо, Plus означает 5G. Логика пока не очень понятна.
Мы предполагаем, что новый iPhone SE покажут весной 2022 года. Ориентировочно — в марте.
iPhone 14
Осенью 2022 года снова выйдет сразу четыре айфона. Но на этот раз в модельном ряду будут смартфоны не трёх размеров, а двух. Преемника iPhone 13 mini в этом поколении не будет. Вместо него мы ожидаем iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro и iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Другое нововведение, на которое обратит внимание каждый второй, — айфоны лишатся «моноброви». Вместо неё в экране будет отверстие с фронтальной камерой, а система датчиков Face ID переедет под дисплей.
Ещё ходят слухи, что новые айфоны наконец-то перейдут на Type-C. Но вот верится в это с очень большим трудом. Хотя после того как айфоны научились снимать в ProRes, потребность в новом стандарте значительно усилилась.

Из неочевидных для России плюсов — устройства серии iPhone 14 будут поддерживать Wi-Fi 6E.
Скорее всего, семейство iPhone 14 покажут в первой половине сентября.
AirPods Pro
Обновлений наушников в следующем году будет не так много. Судя по всему, Apple выкатит лишь новое поколение «прошек». Из новшеств — слегка переработанный дизайн и подключение кейса к «Локатору»:
Слух: AirPods Pro 2 представят в третьем квартале 2022 года
Если инсайдеры правы, то релиз состоится в третьем квартале 2022 года, то есть наушники покажут вместе с айфонами в сентябре.

Apple Watch
Тут ожидается целый ворох новинок.
Apple Watch Series 8
Аналитик Росс Янг, который славится своими верными предсказаниями насчёт дисплеев, утверждает, что восьмое поколение выйдет сразу в трёх размерах. Помимо 41- и 45-мм будут ещё одни часы с дисплеем бóльшего размера.
Также Apple работает над внедрением датчика, способного измерять уровень сахара в крови. Часы будут делать это без проколов кожи. Ради таких технологий, которые могут быть интересны порядка 400 млн человек в мире, Apple уже заключила соответствующий контракт с Rockley Photonics. Этот стартап как раз и занимается созданием датчиков для неинвазивного измерения уровня сахара в крови.
Apple Watch получат неинвазивный глюкометр
Другие Apple Watch
Помимо восьмого поколения нас ожидает ещё две новинки — обновление SE, а также некие спортивные часы для «хардкорных спортсменов».
В чём будет суть обновления Apple Watch SE, пока неизвестно. Скорее всего, они получат дизайн в стиле Series 7 с увеличенным размером дисплея.

Интересна и версия для спортсменов. Такие часы получат прорезиненный корпус, который будет более долговечен, чем существующие сейчас варианты. Об этих часах впервые рассказал Марк Гурман из Bloomberg ещё в марте этого года. Он утверждал, что разработка часов может прекратиться в любой момент. Однако об их существовании Гурман напомнил в прошедшее воскресенье в своей колонке Power On, так что ждём:
Bloomberg: Apple готовит «защищённые» Apple Watch для хардкорных спортсменов
Не обойдётся и без обновлений планшетов. Тут Apple готовит сразу три новинки.
iPad Pro
Судя по всему, самый производительный планшет Apple получит новый дизайн. Компания тестирует прототипы со стеклянной задней панелью, чтобы добавить в «прошку»… Беспроводную зарядку! Идея очень странная, на мой взгляд.
Bloomberg: в 2022 году выйдет iPad Pro со стеклянным корпусом и MagSafe
Другие iPad
Apple обновит Air и самый простой iPad. Скорее всего, в iPad Air пятого поколения просто обновят железо.
Про iPad десятого поколения известно не очень много. Авторитетные инсайдеры пока ничего не говорили о нём. Но если смотреть на обычные слухи, то уже который год мы слышим писк о дизайне в стиле iPad Air. Каким образом в этом случае Apple будет дифференцировать начальный айпэд и Air, непонятно. Вероятно, там будет железо попроще и не будет стереозвука. Пока неясно, будет ли этого достаточно, что не увести аудиторию дорого планшета на более дешёвый.

2022 станет годом, когда Apple полностью перейдёт с Intel на собственные системы-на-чипе. В связи с этим мы ожидаем презентацию сразу нескольких компьютеров.
iMac Pro
Одним из первых, судя по всему, покажут новый iMac, который будет стоять на уровень выше 24-дюймовой версии. Вероятно, Apple назовёт его iMac Pro. Тот же Росс Янг недавно сказал, что диагональ дисплея аймака не увеличится в сравнении с предыдущей моделью и составит 27 дюймов, а частота обновления будет 120 Гц:
Слух: Apple представит iMac Pro на Apple Silicon в первой половине 2022 года
Скорее всего, начинка iMac Pro будет идентична недавно показанным MacBook Pro: M1 Pro и M1 Max.
MacBook Air
Apple изменит дизайн своего самого лёгкого макбука. Он получит несколько вариантов цветового оформления, белую клавиатуру и белые рамки вокруг дисплея.
Концепт: MacBook Air (2022) с «чёлкой», белой рамкой и зарядкой MagSafe
25 Октябрь 2021
Вероятно, MacBook Air станет одним из макбуков, которые продемонстрируют возможности Apple M2 — новой компьютерной системы-на-чипе.
Не стоит забывать и про MacBook Air с 15-дюймовым экраном. Пока об этом макбуке ничего не слышно, но было бы неплохо получить такой компьютер.
Bloomberg: в MacBook Pro вернётся слот для SD-карты, а у MacBook Air появится 15-дюймовая версия
Базовый MacBook Pro
Непонятный многим ноутбук, существование которого сложно как-то объяснить. Ходили слухи, что его снимут с производства. Но, если верить Марку Гурману, он до сих пор находится в дорожной карте Apple на следующий год.
Скорее всего, базовый MacBook Pro также получит Apple M2, а главным отличием от Air станет наличие кулеров — как и с нынешним поколением. По крайней мере, это мои предположения.
Touch Bar умрёт окончательно, а нынешний базовый MacBook Pro на M1 станет последним ноутбуком с этой штукой.
Mac mini
Неттоп также получит новый дизайн:
Инсайдер показал, как будет выглядеть продвинутый Mac mini
А вот по железу пока непонятно: либо Apple и дальше будет его продвигать как стартовый компьютер и самый дешёвый «вход» в компьютерную экосистему, либо всё-таки представит более профессиональные версии для работы. По некоторым слухам, Apple выпустит версии на M1 Pro и M1 Max.
Mac Pro
Если верить инсайдерам, нас ждёт сразу две версии Mac Pro. Первая будет идеологическим продолжением нынешний «тёрки»: дизайн будет очень похож, разве что корпус станет гораздо компактнее.
Также будет ещё некий компьютер. Судя по всему, он станет ещё компактнее, корпус будет полностью алюминиевым, а внешне он будет напоминать Power Mac G4 Cube:

А дальше странности. Один из компьютеров получит собственную систему-на-чипе, которая будет гораздо мощнее нынешнего M1 Max. У него будет до сорока ядер центрального процесса и графическая плата, которая получит до 128 ядер.
Второй компьютер будет работать на Intel Xeon Scalable третьего поколения. Наличие такой версии связано с опасением Apple, что собственная система-на-чипе может не выдержать конкуренции с профессиональными рабочими станциями на Intel. Но впоследствии компания откажется и от такой версии и оставит только собственные решения.
MR-гарнитура
Продукт из категории One more thing. Apple уже давно намекает, что за дополненной реальностью будущее. Мы не понимали, в чём соль, но теперь компания готовится ударить со всей силой и показать гарнитуру смешанной реальности.
Мощность этой гарнитуры, которая получит сразу два процессора, будет сопоставима с макбуками на M1. Согласно инсайдам Марка Гурмана, Apple хочет, чтобы гарнитура решала задачи трёх сфер — игр, потребления контента и общения:
В центре внимания гарнитуры могут быть игры. С учётом того, что она получит несколько процессоров, кулер, дисплеи с очень высоким разрешением и собственный App Store. Apple будет позиционировать устройство как мечту разработчиков игр.
Далее потребление медиа. Я ожидаю, что Apple будет работать с партнёрами над созданием контента, который можно будет смотреть в VR на этой гарнитуре.
Коммуникация. Появятся Animoji и возможности VR в FaceTime. Это может стать Zoom’ом нового поколения.
Очень интересно посмотреть на этот продукт. Особенно с учётом желания Apple сделать его одним из главных устройств компании через десять лет:

It’s difficult to believe that the original iPhone could only hold a measly 16 GB of data. Oh, how far we’ve come. There weren’t as many apps, add-ons, and gadgets as we have today—there wasn’t even an App Store yet. It was the beginning of something magnificent: a hand-held product that could browse the internet and a screen you could actually see.

If four million units sounded like a lot, Apple unloaded five million units of the iPhone 5 within a week of its release. Memory was boosted to 1 GB, but the camera remained unchanged. LTE connectivity was standard on the iPhone 5, making 3G look like child’s play. Now the internet was only a click away, no matter the location. The model also gave birth to the Lightning connector. Combined with a larger 4” screen (compared to only 3.5” on older models), the revolution was underway.

The changes and advancements from the S editions to newer models aren’t as significant as earlier iPhone improvements. Internally, the iPhone 6 is similar to the iPhone 5s, but the main improvement is the addition of the larger screen. If that wasn’t enough, the iPhone 6 Plus offered an even larger screen. The Retina display was eradicated and, instead, Apple rolled out to the HD features and a new 128 GB storage plan. The memory stayed the same, and the megapixel-level on the camera didn’t increase. Not to be deterred, customers gobbled up 10 million units within the first week of sales.

It boasts a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina display with six variations of eye-catching colors. The biggest hit comes in the form of the second camera on the back of the model. You’re not losing any quality either, as both cameras have 12 MP and multiple wide and ultra-wide lenses at your disposal.
iPhone 11 Pro, September 20, 2019: Some dedicated Apple users aren’t fans of the larger screens. If that’s the case, the iPhone 11 Pro is a breath of fresh air. The 5.8-inch Super Retina XDR display is a revolutionary, crystal clear offering to handle all your photography needs. In an insane upgrade, featuring three 12 MP HDR camera lenses, effortlessly gifting the user with wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto lenses. The color options aren’t as striking as the traditional iPhone 11, but there are plenty of decent phone cases out there waiting to spruce up the exterior.
iPhone 11 Pro Max, September 20, 2019: The largest – and priciest – model of 2019 is the iPhone 11 Pro Max. The Super Retina XDR display is stunning, gelling with its ample 6.5” size. It also includes the same three-lens camera setup featured in the iPhone 11 Pro, providing a gateway into a striking new world of photography. You can expect the same color schemes between the two models, but the main difference is the size of the screen, which might be the kicker for some die-hard Apple fans.
