With 2021 coming to a closing , all eye are turning to Apple ’s 2022 loss schedule . While we ’ve previously heard fromMark GurmanandMing - Chi Kuo , a new report looks alone at Apple ’s display ambitions and what that could intend for the next 12 months — and beyond .
Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultantsis out with its one-year mind-set report and it include some interesting tidbit about Apple ’s potential roadmap . It starts with a pretty obvious prediction : the 27 - inch iMac . Young was one of the first analysts to predict the high - end Apple silicon iMac would stick with a 27 - inch board , and reiterates that claim here , claim that the iMac will have the same mini - head ProMotion ( 120Hz ) show as the MacBook Pro . Young says the new modelling will grade the return of the “ Pro ” cognomen when it arrives in the spring .
Of observe , Young does n’t note a standalone admonisher , which he hadteased in Octoberfollowing the “ Unleashed ” event .
Also on the horizon for 2022 is a brand new class for Apple , an AR / VR headset . Like Kuo and Gurman , Young is tracking the production of the headset display but monish that “ loudness estimates look scummy for next year ” leading him to believe that the price “ must be high . ”
run on to the iPhone , Young says Apple is indeed work on a foldable iPhone , though it ’s not arriving in 2022 . And it might not be ready for 2023 either , as Young says 2024 is “ more likely . ” By then Samsung will presumptively be on the 6th looping of its own folding telephone set , with Young reporting that “ more developments and expert progress ” on multi - fold and rollable / slidable phones will continue as well .
at long last , Young also says an OLED iPad and MacBook also are n’t due until at least 2023 as Apple stick with miniLED for a few generations . Young also suggest that other notebook computer manufacturers trade to miniLED displays in 2022 as Apple ’s strategy influences the landscape painting .
