In 2022 Apple event, AirPods Pro, MacBook Air expected to launch: Report

Technology giant Apple is expected to launch major redesigned products in their next year’s Apple Event, as per Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. At this year’s Apple event, the company did unveil new products but it did not have any major upgrades. According to Gurman’s latest newsletter ‘Power On’, he said that the company could launch a slew of new products next year.

In the reported launches, Apple is expected to launch redesigned AirPods Pro, a new MacBook Air, an iPad Pro, and a redesigned Mac Pro. The newsletter also mentions how the 2022 Apple Watch could have three models.

These products are highly anticipated as major updates like the AirPods 3 were not part of the California Streaming event on September 14.

Gurman, in his newsletter, also mentioned that Apple’s MR (mixed reality) glasses are also expected to be unveiled next year.
