After many rumors, the confirmation: Apple’s next event will be held on March 8. The Cupertino company has in fact issued official invitations, accompanied as usual by a slogan: “Peek Performance”, pun between “peak”, peak, and “peek”, peek. However we will talk about performance, then probably at the center of attention there will be processors: those for computers and those for iPhones.
Almost certain, in fact, a new iPhone, the 5G version of the SE model, dating back to two years ago. The device will feature an identical design to the current one, but with the latest A15 Bionic chip, and therefore much higher performance.
There may be a new iPad Pro with MagSafe charging, but there will certainly be a fifth generation iPad Air with 5G connection.

I Mac
Cook said it would take two years to complete the transition of Mac computers to Apple Silicon, and by WWDC 2022 the milestone could be reached.
Apple is preparing the new Mac Pro based on the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips already seen on the MacBook Pro. According to the latest rumors, there would therefore be a smaller Mac Pro with up to 40 CPU cores and 128 graphics cores, a new Mac mini and an iMac Pro that replaces Intel’s current 27-inch model.
A deeply renewed MacBook Air is also expected within the year, not so much in the processor, which is expected a little more powerful than the current one, as in the design that should be inspired by the current iMacs: various colors and white display frame. The entry level MacBook Pro should also be updated. There is also talk of an Apple branded display, with a more affordable price than the Pro Display XDR.
What will we see on March 8, of all these Macs? Probably a basic MacBook Pro, without a touchbar, and a Mac mini.

At the next event, Apple is also expected to roll out iOS 15.4, a free update sent to the latest iPhones and iPads. The company has already announced that there will be a function to unlock Face ID even with the mask, and important changes to the anti-stalking alerts of the AirTag smart trackers.
