Waiting for caller Apple products to launch, possibly astatine the company’s rumored outpouring event? Well, the full happening mightiness person been delayed and thrown into uncertainty, according to a caller study from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.

In the latest variation of his Power On newsletter, Gurman outlined the country successful outpouring 2022, during Apple’s 2nd fiscal quarter.

Although Gurman doesn’t authorities it explicitly, the accusation is either that Apple’s rumored outpouring lawsuit volition hap aboriginal than March 2023, oregon that determination volition beryllium nary outpouring lawsuit astatine all.

Apple’s 2nd fiscal 4th runs from January to March. If this 4th is arsenic quiescent arsenic Gurman predicts, it means we could person galore months to hold for caller Apple products.

That leaves a batch of products successful the lurch. Apple’s outpouring lawsuit is expected to beryllium the launchpad for its mixed-reality headset, arsenic good arsenic the Mac Pro and a slew of different products.

Right now, it looks similar determination are 2 main possibilities for the outpouring event. The archetypal is that it is delayed by a fewer weeks, astir apt to April. That script would mean it could inactive reasonably beryllium called a ‘spring’ event, portion providing capable breathing country betwixt it and Apple’s immense Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) successful June. It would besides autumn extracurricular of Apple’s 2nd fiscal quarter, arsenic alluded to by Gurman.

The different anticipation is that the outpouring lawsuit has been scrapped altogether, and that Apple volition either unveil its caller products via property releases oregon astatine WWDC. This seems little apt fixed the value of the headset and Mac Pro to Apple’s aboriginal plans.

The mixed-reality headset volition beryllium an tremendous infinitesimal for Apple pursuing years of swirling rumors, and consigning it to a elemental property merchandise is the past happening the institution volition privation to do. The Mac Pro, meanwhile, is yet to get an Apple silicon chip. The caller mentation volition beryllium a large accidental to showcase what its ain chips tin bash successful the company’s astir almighty Mac (although the beastly M2 Extreme chip reportedly won’t beryllium present).

Gurman’s newsletter besides confirmed Apple is moving connected M3 versions of the iMac and the MacBook Air aboriginal successful 2023, and that a caller MacBook Pro with “OLED screens and long-awaited interaction support” is coming successful 2025.

Those devices volition get acold excessively precocious for this spring. And if Gurman is right, adjacent the products antecedently nailed connected for a outpouring motorboat could get overmuch aboriginal than expected. If you’ve been looking guardant to them, you’ll astir apt person to beryllium choky for a portion longer.
