March was a passably wearisome month for Apple , with just a unexampled iPhone 14 color ( sensationalistic ) and the release ofiOS 16.4andmacOS 13.3 . Of course , there were some expert Apple TV+ releases , include the return of “ Ted Lasso “ , as well as Apple Arcade games , but the lack of a leap case or newfangled ironware in March made for a relatively slow calendar month .
April could shape up to be much the same . But it could also be a handsome month . There ’s still a persistent rumor that Apple could liberate a 15 - inch MacBook Air , or even take the wraps off a fresh Mac Pro forward of WWDC in June . But an factual fountain case is start to look improbable – the only other clip Apple ever entertain an event in April was in 2021 , come off a year of COVID delay .
New hardware
Back in 2021 , Apple held a spring outcome on April 20 to announce the 24 - inch iMac and AirTag . So even with Apple announcing WWDC for June 5 , it ’s possible that we get invitation to a spring event during the first workweek of April . If we do , here ’s what we might see :
15 - inch MacBook Air : The latest rumors say we ’re on the leaflet of an all - newfangled MacBook . A15 - inch MacBook Air , to be precise , with an M2 microchip ( and potentially an M2 Pro option ) . Outside of the larger presentation size we do n’t eff what to anticipate from it , but it ’s a pretty dependable bet to expect it to be exchangeable as the 13.6 - column inch atmosphere , only lucubrate to the size of a 15.5 - inch presentation and peradventure with Wi - FI 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 . patently , aggregative production of the show is underway , which could be announced sometime in April .
Mac Pro : Apple has been expected to set in motion a newMac Prowith Apple silicon for a while now , but the late rumour suggest it wo n’t go far until WWDC . That means Apple will either release it during April or sometime later this pin . The latest rumors say it will have an M2 Ultra but no user - upgradable random-access memory or graphics .
Mac Studio : It ’s been about a year since Apple launched its new eminent - end desktop , so it ’s due to get an M2 rise , but thelatest rumorssuggest Apple might keep back off until the M3 .
AirPods : AirPods Max have been downcast in stock for months , and it ’s been more than two years since the original model landed . Several improvements could be on the elbow room , including USB - C , Adaptive Transparency , better noise cancellation , and new colors . Apple is also expect to update the AirPods Pro Charging Case to feature USB - snow instead of Lightning , andrecent rumorssuggest it could arrive sooner than later .
Apps and software updates
Near the end of March , we gotiOS 16.4andmacOS 13.3(and related OS updates ) , which brought several welcome newfangled features . Apple immediately started beta testingiOS 16.5andmacOS 13.4 , which so far have fewer obvious changes . look on the distance of examination , they could see their final button in tardy April or early May .
iOS 16.5 : In the first genus Beta , there ’s not much more than a Sports tab in the Apple News app and the ability to originate and block off screen recordings with Siri . Some under - the - lens hood code suggests thatmulti - view sports videois on the room , though there ’s no notification when .
iPadOS 16.5 : look the same change as in iOS 16.5
tvOS 16.5 : Perhaps that multi - view sports video recording stuff found in iOS 16.5 code is aimed at Apple boob tube ? Or the bruit refreshed interface do an appearance ? Otherwise , just bounteous muddle and operation updates .
macOS 13.4 : You’ll bump a novel Sports tab is in the sidebar of the Apple News app , but the first beta does n’t show much else in the means of changes .
