Apple Rumored to Have Product Announcement Tomorrow

Is it one of those releases tomorrow but actually pre-order at some other date? Wondering if would be getting benchmarks reviews before hand
Apple will only announce minor enhancements through press releases. If you're expecting a new Mac Pro, that won't happen. Maybe an incremental upgrade to their MBP line or something small like HomePod or AirPods; new watch bands, etc. Major hardware upgrades tend to be saved for big announcements.
If there is a new Mac mini, I wonder if it’ll ship with USB-C accessories like the new AppleTV did.
If so, that could make the iPhone 14 and AirPods Pro 2 Apple’s last Lightning products.

M2 13 "Pro" launched in July 2022. No way Apple is pushing it out of the lineup with a new machine this soon.
14" and 16" MBPs getting M2 upgrades that equate to the overall increase in performance that we saw from M1 Air to M2 Air is by far the most likely announcement. Not new designs, just M2 spec bump, better wireless radios, Bluetooth 5.3, etc.
M1 mini might also get a M2 spec bump. But no options for configuring it higher than the M2 Air. Price for lowest config will be sub $1199 so it can be better spec'ed than M2 Air.
Do you think I care if you think I'm lying or not? You can go to the Apple site yourself 🙄🙄🙄🙄

I think you have some good stuff right there to put in the "The new mac mini is certainly coming"-thread...
I think you are confused. That's the 13-inch MacBook Pro, not the 14-inch or 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M2 chips that will be announced tomorrow.
Me too!
But M2 mini base configuration will be less than $1199. So that's not going to happen.
Mac Studio is the only "Mac mini" you'll ever get that has a better SoC than the base M chips.
Mac mini is Apple's entry level Mac. The iPhone SE of Macs, if you will. Never going to change.
Im still debating to myself weather to get the M2 Pro or M2 Max 16".
Is the M2 Pro going to be more then enough for me... Most likely,
Do I need 38 or 40 GPU cores.... probably not,
Do I want 38 or 40 GPU cores... YES
This will be with me for the next 3 years though.

Dang, will I begrudgingly have to admit Max Tech was correct in their prediction last week?
Don’t worry. Really. I know it sucks having just purchased the previous model (you can return it if you’re in the 14 day window), but honestly, aside from the faster RAM and one or two more GPU cores (e.g. 8 vs 10), there’s not much improvement. The big difference lies on the efficiency of the 4 low power cores, and that’s not very relevant for the iMac and any desktop for that matter.
However, I think there won’t be a new iMac. I feel like they won’t renew the iMac until the M3 comes into production.
Apple Pencil 3. That’s all you get.
But wait, one more thing… it will come in guacamole green.

And… John Prosser.
Ok, ok, I know you don’t like him, but keep the dislikes for his videos please
I better be seeing a '23 Mac Mini. And if they want to really do me a nice one, release a 27" iMac, priced better than the Mini and Studio Display separates.
Apple will make its first product announcement of 2023 through a press release on its website tomorrow, Tuesday, January 17, according to Apple leaker Jon Prosser. MacRumors can corroborate an announcement is expected to take place this week.
The announcement could be one of several products expected in the near future, including updated MacBook Pros and Mac mini models.
The updated 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models are expected to feature the same design as the models announced in October 2021, with only updated performance thanks to the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips. An updated Mac mini is also expected to benefit from the performance of new M2 chips, but rumors suggest it will feature the same design as the current model.
MacRumors has also learned Apple will hold briefings later this week with members of the press and media on the new devices ahead of review embargoes for the new products lifting next week.

The 13" MacBookNotPro has an M2 (updated from M1) while the 14" and 16" MacBookPro have M1Pro and M1max and will go to M2Pro and M2Max at some point this year.
It's going to be M2 in a MacBook Pro and it will bore your socks off. Can we at least hope for a new colour Apple?
Yes, I thought it had said new on the 16 inch but I was wrong 😭😭
