B&H Photograph, an Apple authorised reseller, has sparked some conjecture this morning about what new {hardware} we may see throughout Apple’s WWDC keynote on Monday, along with iOS 16, macOS 13, and different software program updates. The reseller has created placeholder product pages for an unreleased M2 Mac mini (the M1 Mac mini was launched in October 2020) and an ostensibly all-new ‘Mac small tower’ product, which may be a reference to Apple’s forthcoming Silicon Mac Professional.

Usually, Apple withholds details about its bulletins from third-party companions till after the occasion has concluded. Retailers have beforehand constructed placeholder web sites for quite a lot of Apple objects that by no means materialized.

Nevertheless, many individuals imagine Apple will announce the M2 processor on Monday, kicking off the subsequent stage of Apple silicon.

Essentially the most anticipated occasion on Monday is the introduction of a brand new Mac Professional. On the very least, a sneak glimpse on the new machine and a few technical specs. Certainly, Apple hinted to the existence of the brand new Mac Professional on the finish of its March presentation, saying, “That leaves just one extra product to go: Mac Professional, however that’s for one more day.” The Apple Silicon Mac Professional is not going to be accessible till the top of the yr.
