Well this HAS to be the iCar announcement right. Powered by the M1 chip. Maybe AR glasses too. Maybe they’ll announce the M1 Apple II as well.

Really hope we get a MacBook Air update. Even if it's just a simple refresh. Long overdue...
 
Spec bumps.
My first thought was this is a peek of what we got planned for 2022. You ain’t seen nothing yet analogy. But it could mean something visual that you look at, and Apple’s delayed external displays badly need to be released for people that need them. I hope this is not just about the updated iPad and iPhone models updates. :)

I wonder why they did it on a Wednesday. Probably to destroy everybody's dreams yesterday.
 
It doesn't seem likely at this event, but my late-2013 27" iMac desperately needs updating. Keeping my fingers crossed!

I wrote about this before. They are going to introduce the new smaller MP, that will only be available to sell in June, and WDDC will be all about AR/VR.

Of course not. "Peek" implies we are going to "see" new Apple Glasses.
Does it? So in your view, "peek" is a reference to the fact we will be seeing something (which would be the case for any keynote ever), rather than the fact a person sees through glasses (in which case "peek" is usually used to denote surreptitious glances and would therefore seem too close in this context to one of people's main concerns with augmented reality glasses)?

If it's a pun, it is an exceptionally bad one.
 
Okay, here’s what’s *really* on the agenda for March 8:

* A sneak peek at Lee Pace’s performance in season 2 of David Goyer’s Foundation.
* The next-generation polishing cloth for fashionistas.
* Apple AR x-ray specs.
* Apple has hired Bob Parr to head development of the Incredible Apple Car.
* Steve Wozniak and the Apple Alumni Dance Troupe.
* One more thing.
 
Hoping they update the iPad pro or announce the 27" iMac, probably they do neither.
 
A sneak peek at the future ASi Mac Pro would be sweet...



"Peek", not "peak"...

One part of me says there will be no M2 until the initial transition is complete with M1 based SoCs...

Another part of me says Apple might just go straight to the M2 Max SoCs for the ASi Mac Pro...?



Yes, M1 Pro should be faster than base M2 SoC (excepting single core)...



14 day return window...?



A release is not a "peek"...

Possible sneak peek at a M2 Max powered ASi Mac Pro, with full preview at WWDC and release before end of 2022...?



Just "peek", no "peak" was mentioned...



Latest rumors had the 27" iMac (Pro) pushed out to mid-year...?



In person makes sense for WWDC, get the devs in to talk with all the Apple engineers and such...

For product releases, virtual seems way more appealing; and really gives Apple the opportunity to use all the different "locations" the Mothership provides...!



It is "peek" both on the digital invite & on the tweet from Greg Joswiak, so I think they knew which spelling/meaning they wanted...



Nah, more likely the Pippin 2.0 is headed our way...! ;^p



Using Google is hard...
My secret hope is still that they will suprise us with like a D1 12 high performance cores and 48 gpu cores or so and decide Mx is mobile Dx is desktop.

I am going to guess that the MacBook air will be in the colors of that announcement logo.

I wish they would make the Mac Mini in colors also, but that will never happen. I really just want 32gb of RAM in a Mac Mini M1/M2.

I always wonder how much insight the marketing/graphic design team has when designing these assets. Do they already know everything that's being released?

You mean the M1 Ultra SoC...?!?

15-core CPU (12P/3E)
48-core GPU
16-core Neural Engine
256GB LPDDR5X RAM
500GB/s UMA
