MATT BOLTON gazes into his crystal HomePod mini to make some 2022 predictions for Apple’s line–up
ONLY A FOOL would try to predict what Apple will do, especially in this time of uncertain supply. Well, as Gomez Addams said in the best film of 1991: “With God as my witness, I am that fool.”
I don’t want to look at the whole range, though —I want to narrow down into some things I’m especially looking forward to, starting with the new bigger iMac. It seems obvious this iMac will feature the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips from the new MacBook Pros, and I’d bet that Apple will include the miniLED XDR display too. I think there’s a good chance Apple brings back the iMac Pro name for this one — the new bigger 24–inch size of the smaller one makes me think that’s the computer for “most people”, and the bigger screen will be for graphics pros.
