Macs are finished for 2022
When announcing its fourth quarter 2022 financial results, Apple announced that its first quarter sales in 2023 (which is the 2022 holiday quarter) would see Mac revenue decline year over year. Then Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman announced that Apple wouldn’t release new Macs until 2023, probably in March.
So it’s a little disappointing that we have this lull in the evolution of the M2, and we have to wait for new MacBooks, a new Mac mini and a new Mac Pro.
Speaking of the Mac Pro, Mark Gurman also reported on possible specs for this workstation. It could have an M2 Ultra chip that sports 24 or 48 core CPUs, a 76 or 152 core GPU and up to 256GB of memory.

iPad Pro Rumors
Apple has updated the iPad Pro with M2 processors, so of course there are already rumors of future iPads. The Information reports that Apple may release a 16-inch iPad Pro during the 2023 holiday season. And it seems a lot of Macworld readers like the idea of an oversized iPad.

What if this gigantic new iPad Pro ran macOS? A wild rumor recently claimed that Apple might release an iPad version of macOS 14 next year.
Could macOS be heading to the iPad Pro? We are a little skeptical of this crazy rumor but also very intrigued.
iPhone Rumors
And of course, there are iPhone 15 rumors. The latest rumor is that the 15 Pro might not have actual buttons. Well, it will have buttons, but the solid-state type that doesn’t physically move and a haptic motor provides physical feedback.
We’ll end this show with an iPhone SE rumor. The latest from Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants says the next version will have a 5.7-inch screen.
