The ‘Peek Performance’ event by Apple has been set for March 8th
Apple said today that its first event of 2022 will take place in the Steve Jobs Theater on the Apple Park site in Cupertino, California, on Tuesday, March 8 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time. Additionally, due to the ongoing public health crisis, Apple’s first presentation in 2022 will be a digital-only event, with no members of the media invited to attend in person, as it was in 2021.
We’ve already heard a lot of speculation about what to anticipate during the March 8 event. The next-generation iPhone SE, a redesigned iPad Air, and at least one Mac with an Apple silicon processor, which may be the Mac mini, the 13-inch MacBook Pro, or both, are all likely to be announced.
What We Expect
The third-generation iPhone SE is believed to appear identical to the current second-generation device. It’ll keep thick bezels and a Touch ID Home button, but it’ll have a new A-series CPU, most likely the A15, and a quicker 5G connection. Ming-Chi Kuo, an Apple analyst, believes it will be the company’s most cheap 5G iPhone.
Apple isn’t changing the look of the next-generation iPad Air, but it will gain a faster processor and 5G connection. It might also have a new FaceTime camera that supports Center Stage, which keeps you in the frame even when you walk around the room.
In terms of Macs, Apple is reported to be working on a higher-end Mac mini with a redesigned design and M1 Pro and M1 Max CPUs. The next Mac mini might debut during Apple’s March presentation, replacing the current Intel Mac mini alternatives.
The last product anticipated for March 8 is an improved 13-inch MacBook Pro with an M2 chip, which is the successor to the M1. The MacBook Pro will be a lower-end variant of the 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M1 Pro and M1 Max CPUs and will appear identical to the present 13-inch model.
The M2 chip will have the same 8-core CPU as the M1, but performance and efficiency improvements, as well as GPU upgrades, are planned which will make running heavy apps such as photo finder a breeze. According to rumors, the M2 chip will include 9 and 10-core GPU choices, as opposed to the original M1 chip’s 7 and 8-core GPU possibilities.
When the event begins at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time on March 8, Apple expects to stream it live on its website and through the Apple TV app.
