Apple is reportedly planning to launch new products this week, including new iPads and MacBooks powered by the M3 chip, the successor of the M1 chip that debuted last year. The company will announce the new devices via press releases on its website, according to multiple sources.
What to expect from the new iPads
Apple is expected to update its iPad Pro lineup with two new models, featuring OLED displays, thinner bezels, and no home button. The new iPad Pros will also have the M3 chip, which will offer up to 60 percent faster performance than the M1 chip and up to 13 times faster performance than the fastest Intel-based iPad Pro. The new iPad Pros will also support Face ID, a new Apple Pencil, and a new Magic Keyboard with a larger trackpad and an aluminum finish.
Apple is also rumored to introduce two new iPad Air models, one with a 12.9-inch screen and one with a 10.5-inch screen. The new iPad Airs will have the M2 chip, which will offer up to 40 percent faster performance than the M1 chip and up to 10 times faster performance than the fastest Intel-based iPad Air. The new iPad Airs will also have OLED displays, thinner bezels, and no home button. They will support Touch ID, a new Apple Pencil, and a new Smart Keyboard.
The new iPads will come in four colors: midnight, starlight, space gray, and silver. They will also have new cases and accessories in different colors.
What to expect from the new MacBooks
Apple is also expected to update its MacBook Air lineup with two new models, one with a 13-inch screen and one with a 15-inch screen. The new MacBook Airs will have the M3 chip, which will offer up to 60 percent faster performance than the M1 chip and up to 13 times faster performance than the fastest Intel-based MacBook Air. The new MacBook Airs will also have Liquid Retina displays, up to 18 hours of battery life, and support for up to two external displays.
The new MacBooks will have a thin and light design, made from durable aluminum. They will come in four colors: midnight, starlight, space gray, and silver. They will also have MagSafe charging, a world-class camera, mics, and speakers, and a silent, fanless design.
The new MacBooks will run on macOS, the most advanced desktop operating system in the world. They will also have access to a rich ecosystem of apps, games, and services, including iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Apple Music, Apple TV, Apple Arcade, and more.
