The rumor mill is pointing to the Apple Mac Studio and Mac Studio Display debuting at this week’s Apple March event, but that doesn’t make any sense.
There is a lot of speculation flying right now about what Apple products we’re going to see launch at this week’s Apple March event, largely because Apple is about as leaky as a graphene sieve. At this point, pretty much any speculation from someone on Twitter is about as valid as any one else’s speculation. Really, nobody has any real data on anything, and just when you think you’ve got a good idea that the Apple M1X chip is coming, Apple throws the Apple M1 Pro and M1 Max at you instead. And trust us, we’ve been as off on our Apple speculation as anyone, so we’re not ones to throw stones in Gorilla glass houses. With the recent rumors that a Mac Studio workstation and a Mac Studio Display professional-grade monitor is on the way, there’s naturally going to be speculation about when we’re going to see it, and with the Apple March event this week, we’re bound to see expectations rise for the debut of a new workstation PC from Apple, along with its rumored 7K professional display. We definitely understand the excitement, but an announcement on pro gear this week isn’t going to happen, and it would honestly be a major misstep on Apple’s part to do so. Every indication we’ve gotten in the past month is pointing to a couple of major releases from Apple. First, we’re expecting to see a new iPhone SE 3 with 5G announced at the event, which will be a major announcement in itself. Unlike the flagship iPhone lineup, the iPhone SE is positioned for the more budget-friendly consumer side of the market, and it is expected to introduce some important new technology to the lower-end iPhones, so it won’t be something mentioned in passing. Next up, we have the iPad Air 5, which is also expected to be revealed at this week’s event.
