We do n’t often see much in the way of raw releases from Apple in December . We ’ve been surprise before ( AirPods Max were release on December 15 ) but there are n’t even anyrumorsof new computer hardware for the holidays .
That means December will have the sorts of thing we get every month from Apple : new operating organization releases , Apple TV+ demonstrate and movies , and Apple Arcade game . Here ’s the breakdown of Apple releases for December .
New hardware releases
Apple seldom releases any new hardware in December . The only new product we can remember launching during the last calendar month of the twelvemonth is the AirPods Max in 2020 . Apple has also used December to ship products announced to ship “ before the end ” of a specific twelvemonth ( such as the iMac Pro ) , but we do n’t have any of those this yr .
There are n’t even any rumors of young Apple hardware coming before the conclusion of the class so the chance of a surprisal is extremely humbled . In fact , the earliest we ask to see raw Apple ironware will be in the spring ( likely March ) when Apple will in all probability set in motion anew M3 Mac miniand iPad miniskirt , reveal the launching escort for theApple Vision Proheadset , and maybe more .
