Upcoming Apple Products Guide: Everything We Expect to See in 2021 and Beyond

The MacRumors guide to upcoming products is designed to provide an overview of everything that we’re expecting to see from Apple, both in the near and more distant future. Dates listed are not always concrete, but are based on the most recent rumors and information that we have.

We’re updating the guide on a regular basis, so it will be the go-to place to see every Apple product that’s on the horizon at a glance. For more detail on the rumors we’ve heard about each upcoming item, make sure to click on the links to visit our roundups.

First Half of 2021

Apple held an event in April 2021 and introduced AirTags, new iMac models, an updated Apple TV 4K, and refreshed versions of the 11 and 12.9-inch iPad Pro.

Apple held the Worldwide Developers Conference in June, debuting iOS 15, iPadOS 15, watchOS 8, tvOS 15, and macOS 12 Monterey. Details on everything new in these software updates can be found in our dedicated roundups.

No new hardware was introduced at WWDC, with Apple instead focusing on the new software updates that were released in the fall.

September 14 «California Streaming» Event

Apple held its annual iPhone-centric event on Tuesday, September 14. At the «California Streaming» event, Apple unveiled the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max, all of which launched on September 24.

Apple also introduced the iPad mini 6 and the ninth-generation iPad, also with a September 24 release date.

The Apple Watch Series 7 was introduced at the September event, but due to supply constraints caused by manufacturing issues, it didn’t launch until mid-October.

October 18 «Unleashed» Event

Apple held a second fall event with the tagline «Unleashed» on Monday, October 18, which focused on new high-end MacBook Pro models and third-generation AirPods, as well as some new colors for the HomePod mini. Apple also introduced a lower-cost «Voice Plan» for Apple Music.

Products Coming in 2022

• Mac mini — Apple is developing a high-end version of the Mac mini, which will feature additional ports and a more powerful Apple silicon chip. It will include an improved version of the M1 chip with a 10-core CPU that has eight high-performance cores and two energy-efficient cores, plus 16-core or 32-core GPU options. The Apple silicon chip will support up to 64GB RAM and four Thunderbolt ports. It’s supposed to use the same chip that the MacBook Pro will use, but it was not announced at Apple’s October event and so a 2022 debut appears likely.
• MacBook Air — Apple is developing a thinner and lighter version of the MacBook Air that will have thinner bezels than the current model. The bezels and the keyboard will be an off-white color, and the chassis will not have a wedge shape. The machine will feature a mini-LED display, MagSafe charging technology and USB-C ports for connecting external devices, but it won’t have an HDMI port or an SD card slot. It will include an faster version of the M1 chip with the same number of computing cores as the M1 (eight). The new Apple silicon chip will support better graphics with nine or 10 GPU cores instead of the seven or eight in the current M1 MacBook Air. The MacBook Air could see a launch in mid-2022.
• AirPods Pro — Apple is working on a new version of the AirPods Pro with a more compact design and a new wireless chip. The design is said to eliminate the short stem that sticks out from the bottom, resulting in a more rounded shape closer in design to competing wire-free earbuds from Google and Samsung.
• iPhone SE — Apple is rumored to be developing a new version of the iPhone SE with 5G and an upgraded processor, with a release expected in the first half of 2022.

Products With Unknown Release Dates

• Mac Pro — Apple is working on two versions of the Mac Pro, both of which feature a redesigned chassis that’s smaller in size. The new Mac Pro models will feature high-end Apple silicon chip options with 20 or 40 computing cores, made up of 6 high-performance or 32 high-performance cores and four or eight high-efficiency cores. These upgraded chips are also expected to include 64 or 128 core GPUs.
• Larger iMac — Apple is still developing a larger version of the iMac with more powerful Apple silicon chips, but paused work on the larger version to launch the 24-inch iMac model. There is no word on when the larger variant of the iMac might launch, but it is expected to include much more powerful Apple silicon chips.

Further in the Future

• AR/VR Headset — Apple is working on augmented/virtual reality headset that could come at some in 2022 or 2023. The headset is said to feature a dedicated display, built-in processor, and an «rOS» or reality operating system. Input will be via touch panels, voice activation, and head gestures, and it’s said to have a high price point at around $2,000. Current rumors suggest a launch at the end of 2022.
• Foldable iPhone — Apple is allegedly working on a foldable iPhone that might be between 7.5 and 8 inches, with a launch date slated for 2023 at the earliest.
• Apple Car — There have been a lot of twists and turns in the saga of Apple’s electric car development, but reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes Apple is still planning on a full autonomous vehicle rather than just an autonomous car software offering, with a launch to happen between 2023 and 2025.

We have a list of all the products that Apple has released so far in 2021.

Apple Event October 18th 2021: what to expect from AirPods 3 and new MacBook Pros

Everything you should expect from the October Apple Event, and how you can watch along

By Matthew Bolton last updated 18 October 21

The next Apple Event has just been revealed, and it’s happening today: October 18th, 2021, at 10am PDT/1pm EDT/6pm BST. Apple’s name for the event is simply ‘Unleashed’, and you’ll be able to watch along at apple.com, at Apple’s YouTube channel, or we’ll embed the stream right here when the time comes, with the video embedded just below.

We’re expecting to see new MacBook Pros at the event, along with a faster Mac mini, and perhaps AirPods 3 at long last… we’ll go into more detail on what’s been reported about the event just below.

The previous Apple event was only back in September 2021, where Apple announced the iPhone 13, Apple Watch Series 7, iPad mini 6, iPad 10.2-inch 9th Gen and more.

In this guide, we’ll tell you which products to expect from upcoming Apple Events that have been leaked and rumoured (or are just regular events that probably won’t change). We’ve also got mini recaps of all the recent events that have happened, so you know the full context.

We’ll update the list whenever we get more official or rumoured information about events, of course, and we’ll let you know whether an event actually is officially scheduled by Apple or whether it’s just expectation.

Apple Event October 2021: what to expect

1. AirPods 3

These have been rumoured as imminent for release since spring 2021, so their time must finally come soon (and just before Christmas makes total sense – they’ll be a smash hit). We’re expecting improved sound quality, an AirPods Pro-like design, and support for Apple’s cool Spatial Audio feature.

2. 14-inch MacBook Pro

The rumours say that Apple is working on a new-look MacBook Pro, with a larger 14-inch screen in the same footprint as the current 13-inch model. Even more excitingly, it’s said to have a new ‘M1X’ ultra-powerful processor, which looks set to be comically powerful – perhaps with graphics to rival the PS5.

3. 16-inch MacBook Pro

A larger version of the 14-inch model! This has the same size screen as the current big MacBook Pro, but with a more svelte body. It’ll also have the extra-powerful processor, plus is said to feature an array of useful ports, rather than just the USB-C ports of the current model.

4. More powerful Mac Mini

Rumours say that the Mac Mini will get the M1X processor as well, making it a real powerhouse for such a small machine.

5. macOS 10.12 Moneterey release date

Apple will likely unveil the date you can download the next macOS update. It might even be the same date as the event.

Apple Event 2021: what else is coming up

Spring 2022 Apple Event

There are rumours that Apple is planning an update to the iPhone SE in 2022, and the SE is traditionally updated in the Spring, giving it a nice wide berth from the high-end iPhone launch. We might also expect to see the new MacBook Air in this event – the iMac 24-inch (2021) was unveiled in this period.

June 2022 WWDC Apple Event

Apple holds its big developer conference in June every year, and we expect that to stay true in 2022. At this event, it will reveal the big features for the next updates to iOS, watchOS, macOS, iPadOS and tvOS. Recently, hardware hasn’t appeared at these events, though don’t rule it out – especially if it’s something developers will need to learn more about.

Apple Event 2021: what we’ve had recently

14 September 2021 Apple Event

Apple announced the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro, plus a redesign of the iPad mini, and update to the cheapest iPad model. The Apple Watch Series 7 also got a subtle redesign with a larger screen.

7 June 2021 WWDC Apple Event

Apple announced updates to the software for all of its products (from Mac to AirPods to iPhone to HomePod) at this event. It also discussed iCloud+, and new plan that includes cloud storage as well as innovative new privacy features for your Apple devices.

20 April 2021 Apple Event

This jam-packed Apple event included the long-awaited AirTags, the iPad Pro (2021) with Apple M1 chip, the 24-inch iMac also with the M1, the new Apple TV 4K (2021), and a fetching new purple hue for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini.

10 November 2020 Apple Event

At this event, Apple launched the first products made with its own Apple M1 processor: the MacBook Air (M1, 2020), the MacBook Pro 13-inch (M1, 2020) and Mac Mini (M1, 2020). It also revealed the release date of the latest macOS version.

13 October 2020 Apple Event

Lucky for many, this event included the launch of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro models, as well as the HomePod mini. As mentioned above, it was unusual for the iPhone to revealed in October, and we don’t expect this to repeat.

15 September 2020 Apple Event

This event was big on Apple Watch, with the Apple Watch Series 6 and Apple Watch SE both appearing for the first time. The new-look iPad Air (2020) was also unveiled.

Your work is as meaningful to us as it is to you.

Apple is where you’ll work with others who share your passion. Where business serves expertise. Where a healthy respect for courage and original thinking inspires you to bring your best to what we do together.

How We Work

Apple’s most enduring design may be Apple itself.

Apple is organized by functional specialties rather than business units — rare for a company our size. We’re experts leading experts: hardware experts lead hardware, software experts lead software, and design experts lead design. This differs from most other large companies, where general managers oversee managers. Apple is Apple because those with the most expertise in an area of work have decision rights for that area.

Leaders at Apple combine their expertise with two other important characteristics: immersion in the details and a willingness to collaboratively debate during collective decision-making. For people at every level here, it can be liberating — even exhilarating — to work with experts who offer relevant guidance and mentoring. This approach to leadership is a commitment to collaboration that leads to innovation.

To learn more about how Apple is organized for innovation,
read the Harvard Business Review article.

If you want to really understand how something is made, get into the details, and be super creative, then Apple is the place.

Collaboration

Great ideas rise to the challenge.

To see all the cross-functional work and the relationships we’ve forged come together in one product makes me incredibly proud.

At Apple, collaboration is more than simply working together — it means passionate, collaborative debate. People on retail, hardware, or marketing teams may focus on different issues, but the principles of respectful, honest discussion remain the same: We advocate ideas, contest points of view, and ultimately build on each other’s thinking to come up with the best solution.

Cross-functional collaboration is crucial, because no one team is responsible for a product or a service on its own. Dozens of specialist teams may be needed for even a single key component of a new product. Yet each team works with a shared purpose — create an extraordinary user experience.

Innovation

When experts make the decisions, they decide to innovate.

Innovation is led by those who know their stuff, whether it’s the first job of their life or the latest project in a career decades in the making. At Apple, innovation depends not only on brilliant individuals, but also on a community of specialists, each focused on what we can do instead of what’s been done. We foster this culture by giving experts the room to take bold yet informed risks that lead to breakthroughs.

Everyone here is an innovator, or an innovator-to-be — even in areas customers don’t typically notice: Consider the Siri curators and engineers who help reduce bias with continual updates and respectful neutrality in search responses. Or the teams who designed, produced, and shipped millions of COVID-19 face shields for front-line medical workers. Or the chef in one of our cafés who patented our environmentally friendly pizza box.

We have the resources to go as far as we want with ideas. And no idea is too crazy.

Areas of Work

There’s a place here for every kind of brilliant.

Your specialty or ideal role may exist across many areas at Apple. Explore a few to see which match your interests.

Students

Gain more than experience. Gain an Apple experience.

We’re always looking for new thinking, whether you’re still in school or you’re ready to start a career. Apple has hands-on opportunities for interns as well as full-time and part-time roles for undergrads and grad students.

Locations

A local presence.
A world of possibilities.

You’ll find smart, passionate people working in cities all over the world — at Apple offices, technical centers, and the Apple Store. Machine learning researchers in Seattle who collaborate with their counterparts in Beijing. Silicon designers in Bangalore who collaborate with their counterparts in San Diego. Apple Store leaders in Tokyo sharing ideas with their counterparts in Rome. Join us where you are. Or where you want to be.
