Apple Rumored to Have Product Announcement Tomorrow

Looks like my prediction was correct that Apple would announce the M2 Pro / Max chips and machines a few months before the Mac Pro and M2 Ultra, so each chip could have its time in the spotlight.
But thankfully they’re starting that timeline sooner than expected, so a January M2 Max announcement does make a March M2 Ultra / Mac Pro announcement more likely!

A lot us wonder about the 2022 13" M2 MBP with a 720p FaceTime HD camera, and just stereo speakers?
That was like a rush job to throw that together. Comparably the 13" M2 MBA had 1080P FaceTime camera and Four-speaker sound system.
It would makes sense if that saw some changes for the 13" M2 MBP along with the Mac minis finally seeing a M2.

If there's a variant with a M2 Pro processor, I suspect these will sell like hot cakes.
AFAIK Mac Minis are one of the worst sellers in the entire Mac lineup, and I don't really get why - as it is the most affordable Mac.
Spec bump would be more RAM or SSD, for me a new CPU is a new generation.
I just got a leaked pic of the new MBP!!

New iPad mini......still not buying unless FaceID, then I may consider.
Who is the $329, $449 and $599 iPads for?
Who is the $1299 MacBook Pro for that the $1199 MacBook Air or the $1999 MacBook Pro isn’t?
You’re literally saying that apple wouldn’t add a step to the ladder of their devices… When they’ve spent the last five years literally adding as many steps to their product lineups as possible.
There’s an iPhone at pretty much every price point, an iPad at pretty much every price point, a laptop at pretty much every price point, but for the desktops, there are some massive gaps.
There’s also gonna be a laptop with the M2, M2pro and M2max… but not the same options for their desktop line? No.
There’s literally an Intel Mac Mini in the lineup right now just asking to be replaced.
Also:
“Anyone who might buy it would also buy a Studio or a MBP. Apple isn't going to lose money on those purchases just because.”
You are describing up selling, and it’s literally what Tim Cook is best at.
Making a massive latter of products.
“Why spend $699 on an M2 Mac Mini, when you can spend $1299 and get an M2 iMac.
Oh you don’t want an all in one? Well then why not spend $1500 on the M2pro Mac Mini?
Oh, it’s almost perfect, but you really need extra ports? Well check out the Mac Studio.”
It’s literally his game, and a midrange desktop isn’t a bad idea to keep their shipments going up and up and up.
I see 14 and 16 on the site with M2 available...hmmm
Something like that would deserve a live event, not just a press release! 😉
