Vratislav Holub During this year, Apple came out with a number of really interesting products, with which it was able to dazzle a wide group of apple lovers. But time goes on and the end of the year will soon be here, which raises a lot of questions in apple-growing circles. Fans are speculating about whether we will get any interesting news during this year, or what kind. In this article, we will therefore point out the possibilities with which Apple could get away with at the end of the year.

Pavel Jelic Year 2021 in the sign of Macs
But before we get into that, let's quickly point out this year's products that Apple really succeeded in. The giant was able to gain the first wave of popularity already at the spring event, when the iPad Pro was unveiled, which in its 12,9″ offers a display with Mini LED backlight technology. Thanks to this, the quality of the screen has moved several levels higher, which, among other things, is also confirmed by apple users themselves. In terms of quality, mini LED displays come close to OLED panels without suffering from their typical shortcomings in the form of burning pixels, shorter life span or higher prices. However, the 12,9″ iPad Pro was not the only candidate this spring. The redesigned 24″ iMac was also very positively received by the public, in which Apple opted for the M1 chip from the Apple Silicon series, thereby significantly advancing its capabilities. The whole thing was underlined by the new design.
New MacBook Pro
This year is a big one for Apple in terms of its Macs in general. After all, this is confirmed by the recently introduced 14″ and 16″ MacBook Pro with M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, whose performance skyrocketed to heights that Apple fans had not even dreamed of until recently. To make matters worse, it also makes excellent progress in terms of the display, which now relies on Mini LED backlighting and offers up to a 120Hz refresh rate. On the other side of the barricade of products that did not receive such excellent support, for example, is the Apple Watch Series 7. They absolutely missed the earlier leaks, according to which there should have been a total design change, which was not confirmed in the final. In a way, we could also mention the iPhone 13. Although it offers double the initial storage or advances the quality of photos and videos, it can be said that it didn't exactly bring a lot of ground-breaking news.

What else awaits us?
The end of the year is slowly approaching and there are not many opportunities left for Apple to introduce new products. At the same time, there are several candidates in the game who definitely deserve the next generation. These potential new products undoubtedly include the Mac mini (the last generation was released in 2020), the 27″ iMac (last updated in 2020) and AirPods Pro (the last and only generation was released in 2019 – although the headphones have now received an update, or a new MagSafe case) . However, there is generally information circulating about the Air, the 27″ iMac and the aforementioned headphones that we will not see their introduction until next year.
So we only have a small glimmer of hope for an updated Mac mini, which, according to some sources, could offer the same/similar changes that Apple pressed into its 14″ and 16″ MacBook Pros. In this regard, we are of course talking about professional Apple Silicon chips. However, Apple fans somehow expected that this little one would be presented alongside the "Proček" unveiled in October, which unfortunately did not happen. In conclusion, we can only say that even the arrival of a new Mac mini with significantly greater performance is in the stars for now. However, most people are leaning towards the side that we will have to wait until next year.
