Even the Developer Transition Kit (DTK), an Apple Silicon-powered Mac mini that Apple offered to help Mac developers build their apps, actually used an A-series chip.Įven if Apple has some new Macs to show off, those could take a back seat to Apple’s most significant software announcement in years.Īpple’s “mixed-reality” AR/VR Headset is getting real enough that it was ready to be shown to Apple’s Board of Directors last month. Remember that when Apple first showcased Apple Silicon at WWDC 2020, it didn’t announce any specific Macs with the new chip. However, there is a real possibility that Apple could showcase its next-generation M-series chip, likely dubbed the “M2.” Some sources say that if Apple does this, it will have some new Macs to showcase with the M2 chip, but that’s far from a sure thing. That may have been true, but recent updates from the same sources have suggested that the new 27-inch mini LED display is still a few more months away. There were some reports that a new Apple Silicon powered Mac Pro and “Apple Studio Display Pro” could have made their debut next month. So despite some sources suggesting up to four new Macs could appear, we’d recommend not getting your hopes up. Still, hardware announcements are the exception rather than the rule. That same year also saw the arrival of a new 10.5-inch iPad Pro, the iMac Pro, and updates to the iMac and MacBook lineups. That’s especially true for developer-related things, like when the new Mac Pro debuted in 2019, but it’s not exclusive to that category.įor example, in 2017, Apple used WWDC to pre-announce the original HomePod, which was definitely not developer-related.
Since Apple is taking the stage anyway, WWDC often serves as an excellent opportunity to announce new hardware products.
However, that doesn’t mean the company won’t have a few other surprises up its sleeve.
