Apple Event Announced for March 8: 'Peek Performance'

[haincha]

I'd like an iPad Pro 11" with XDR screen and/or Mac mini with M1 Pro/Max or M2. I want to move my torrent/media box back to a Mac. My headless NUC has had some random network issues killing everything and requiring a hard restart.

I presume an M1 Pro (base version) will still be faster than the M2, or am I wrong in thinking that?

For multicore, yes, but the M2 should have a higher single core score.

The hype will be better than the event it’s only the entry level updates

Seems like that previous thread was to get everyone riled up. 😆

Street curbs are looking very tall to some posters over on that other thread!

 

[zorinlynx]

No mention of the larger Apple Silicon iMac in this post? Is there speculation that they won't be announced? We've been waiting along time here.

That said, I hope this is the last "virtual" event. Covid definitely seems to be winding down and we're moving back to normal.

And MacRumors is still reporting the same rumors as if they were absolute certainties. They haven’t learned anything from the way they embarrassed themselves this morning.

Humility? What’s that?

Yeah, their posts are frequently full of statements like “there will be no design changes” - referencing products such as iPhone SE and iPad Air - as if it’s absolute fact.

They should remember the language of a rumour site should be different to that used by Apple official channels.

Mac Mini with M1 MAX, Come to me! Come to me! Come to me!

An M1 Pro would be enough for me, I don't need the extra GPU, but that said the higher memory bandwidth is enticing. 32G of RAM at least!

the peek performance isn’t a play on words, it’s not the high end updates we all want so it wouldn’t be Peak performance

 

[KPOM]

As with the 2021 events, Apple's first event of 2022 will continue to be a digital-only gathering with no members of the media invited to attend in person due to the ongoing public health crisis.

Given that the government has done a 180 over the past week, I wonder if WWDC will return to at least a partial in-person format, and if the iPhone/Apple Watch event will be in person. The virtual events are fine for Mac and iPad updates.

"Peek" rather than "Peak"? Did Apple get the word wrong?

 

[Kylo83]

No one should get there hopes up this event isn’t gonna be exciting, im more excited about iOS 15.4 lol

 

[reyesmac]

Color matching MacBook Airs and iPads. $400 price increase to cover upping minimum ram to 16gb on base models, hopefully drive size too. The name will be changed from Air to something else to designate more power.

 

[Kylo83]

Peek Performance is all gonna be about 5G in the SE LOL​

 

[Homy]

Looks like we're going to peek at a new colorful gaming computer from Apple with peak performance.

 

[oneMadRssn]

Hope they release something we aren't expecting! I love when we get something unexpected 🤞

Apple mobile homes: the HomeBox and HomeBox mini.

Apple fracking drills and pumps: iCloud Energy.

Apple mattresses: iSleep, iSleep Pro, and iSleep Pro Max.

Apple meal replacement shakes: Apple Food™

Performance? M2.

All those colours? Regular MacBook in iMac colours.

 

[Rustyman75]

It's probably not going to happen, but here's hoping for a new 27" iMac!

 

[Kylo83]

Did apple mean peak? Peek isn’t a word is it?

 

[rui no onna]

Presumably it will be the same leap as A14 to A15. Adjusted for the number of cores.

There's like less than 10% difference between A14 and A15 for CPU. Not something that's going to be noticeable.

Maybe they’ve brought out a load of orchards and are branching out to actual fruit?

 

[RadioHedgeFund]

Did apple mean peak? Peek isn’t a word is it?

It means to look at something. It’s a clever play on words.

 

[ACDeag]

Did apple mean peak? Peek isn’t a word is it?

Peek as in look

 

[trip1ex]

AR goggles? There has to be something more coming out.

They wouldn't have an event for an SE and Air.

so it has to be a new Mac or Homepod speaker or AR googles etc. Possibly something on the exercise or software side of things.

 

[chabig]

"Peek" rather than "Peak"? Did Apple get the word wrong?

Of course not. "Peek" implies we are going to "see" new Apple Glasses.

 

[PilotWoo]

I really really hope they only announce new Apple Watch bands.
