The site MacRumors explains that a critical Apple document, available internally only, has been updated. The file in question suggests future product announcements, even though the company tries as much as possible to keep such information secret. At least, until a possible keynote or official press release.
The precise list of devices that Cupertino could soon unveil is not known, for the same reasons. However, it is assumed that iPad Pros with OLED displays could see the light of day between the end of March and the beginning of May. It is also during this period that the first laptops could be released. MacBook Air equipped with M3 chips. Two sizes are expected: 14.2 inches and 15.3 inches. Against 11 inches and 12.9 inches for tablets cited previously.
What does this confidential document contain?
Still according to the information shared by our colleagues from MacRumors, Apple’s secret sheet gives indications on the answers to give to potential customers who are trying to find out more about products that are not yet official. Our source of the day adds that the document was “restructured and optimized” for the occasion. Of course, this does not mean that new products are actually on the way for the upcoming spring. But the coincidence with the multiple rumors published recently about them remains quite disturbing.
Apple regularly shares other files for its employees uniquely. Recently, for example, we are reporting on procedures dedicated to Apple Stores so that their employees know how to handle this or that device.
Apple fights against leaks
MacRumors does not specify the name of the person who reported these rumors to him. This is obviously to protect him. We know that Apple requires employees close to confidential information to sign a non-disclosure agreement. If they do not respect it, they then expose themselves to formal dismissal at best, but at worst to serious legal proceedings which could take them to court. And this is not just a simple warning, since trial of the kind have already made the front page of our columns in the past.
To go further, some even assume that Apple knowingly shares fake news to his teams. This strategy would allow it to identify the origin of the leaks. It is therefore not uncommon for certain rumors, although relayed even in the international press, to ultimately never be validated by the slightest announcement from Cupertino.
iPad Pro OLED: what we know
Coming back to tablets, the OLED iPad Pros that Apple is expected to unveil will feature a new screen. The latter would give pride of place to better contrasts. Given that these tablets are intended, as their name suggests, for professionals, this is a significant advantage. We know that many freelance imaging specialists enjoy working on this tactile format. Among these, we can notably cite the case of video editors, tattoo artists or even graphic designers of all kinds.
The new iPad Pros should be powered by the M3 chip. This was presented last year but is currently only accessible on a single model of laptop computer. This is the 14-inch MacBook Pro.
The MacBook Air M3s would also arrive in the spring
The M3 processor should therefore also arrive on MacBook Air, at spring or even at the Worldwide Developer Conference.
These laptops are the lightest that Apple markets. Few additional new features are expected for 2024, given that additional colors and a revisited design have already been presented in previous semesters. However, it would be wise to see the manufacturer offer more sockets on the edge of the chassis, because today the number of USB-C ports is quite limited. On the fifteen-inch model, there are only two of these plugs. HDMI and the SD card slot, for their part, are reserved for the most recent (or very old) MacBook Pros.
- Apple has updated an internal document which explains to its employees how to behave when faced with a customer who mentions the case of products not yet announced
- This coincides with rumors that iPad Pro OLED could be released in the spring
- At the same time, Apple could also formalize the first MacBook Air with M3 chip under the hood
