Apple’s “Peek Performance” launch event is just a day away and noted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is here with another prediction for what could be unveiled on stage. According to the long-time insider, Apple will introduce a more powerful Mac Mini which is rumored to arrive with Apple’s M1 Pro or M2 processor.
Predictions for Apple's new desktop products:
— 郭明錤 (Ming-Chi Kuo) (@mingchikuo) March 6, 2022
1. 2022: More powerful Mac mini and more affordable external display (27-inch without mini-LED).
2. 2023: Mac Pro and iMac Pro.
The other new bit is a more affordable 27-inch Apple display without mini-LED. Apple currently offers a single monitor in its lineup - the 32-inch Pro Display XDR which starts at a cool $4,999. Having a more affordable option will definitely be a welcome development. Kuo is skeptical of a new 13-inch MacBook Pro being launched at the event and also believes that Apple will leave out the rumored next-gen Mac Pro and iMac Pro for 2023.
The rest of the expected announcements at the event include a new iPhone SE model with 5G connectivity, an Apple A15 chipset and the same basic design as its predecessor from 2020. We’re also expecting a new iPad Air with updated hardware. Apple’s event starts at 10:00 AM PST on Tuesday, March 8.
Finally, a new affordable display! Apple is the only company that can design a display that looks good from every side, it seems.

Definitely eyeing the new Mac Mini. It makes better sense to launch a new model every two or three year instead of every single year, especially when it comes to ARM chipsets.
