All the Apple products that will arrive this April

The event peek performance that Apple held in early March was full of news. They introduced the Studio Mac, the Studio Display, the third generation iPhone SE and the green iPhone 13, and the release of iOS 15.4 and macOS 12.3 took place.

April is going to be much calmer. We don’t expect any new products to be announced until at least WWDC in June, and there aren’t any new iOS or macOS betas available (not even for developers), so there shouldn’t be any releases coming either. software remarkable.

Instead, Apple’s April releases are going to boil down to series and movie premieres on Apple TV+, the launch of the big Friday Night Baseball initiative, and some Apple Arcade games. It will be a quiet month, unless you really like baseball.

WWDC

The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference will almost certainly take place in June, most likely in the week of June 6. Apple usually announces the theme of the event in March, but as you know, this has not happened. He will at any time.

WWDC may be Apple’s first in-person event since the iPhone launch event in September 2019. So keep an eye on our website for all the news from the event, which we may know more about soon.

Rumored new products

Five new products have just arrived from hardware (3rd generation iPhone SE, Mac Studio, Studio Display, 5th generation iPad Air, and iPhone 13 Green). Everything Apple announced, hardware-wise, has already gone on sale. There are no rumors circulating about products that could launch this month. That is all.

New Mac minis, a new MacBook Air, and possibly a new mini-LED-backlit high-end display are expected to arrive. But none of that will be announced until WWDC in June, or possibly later.

App and software updates

Apple released iOS 15.4 (along with associated versions of watchOS, tvOS, and iPadOS) and macOS 12.3 in March. They’re packed with new features, including Universal Controls, Face ID with a mask, spatial audio in the Music app on Mac, notes in iCloud Keychain, and more.

iOS 15.4.1 and Monterey 12.3.1 followed.

Interestingly, iOS 15.4 was not followed by a new beta, not even for developers. In fact, the developer beta page proudly proclaims (at the time of writing) that there are no beta versions to download.

Apple products from April 2022

That doesn’t necessarily mean Apple is done with iOS 15 and macOS 12. More minor security updates are likely to arrive later in the year, and maybe even one or two more features.

But the features initially announced for iOS 15 are now available, and nothing new was announced at the spring event in March that would require an update to the operating system or the apps that Apple ships with it.

In other words, it’s highly unlikely that we’ll get a new version of the operating system in April, and maybe not even a new beta version.

Services

AppleTV+

Apple TV + has become the first service of streaming to win an Oscar for best picture thanks to the film CODA. I’m sure Apple is very proud of it (although I didn’t have a hand in making it; the company just wrote the biggest check in Sundance history).

In any case, television streaming it doesn’t stop and apple has kicked off april with a major deal with you can never catch a break, and apple is entering april with a major major league baseball deal (on friday night baseball).

These are the shows, series, and movies we expect to premiere on Apple TV+ in April. If you want to know what’s coming next, check out our full guide to this year’s releases on Apple TV+.

apple-arcade

Apple releases new games for Apple Arcade every Friday, but it’s not every Friday that a new game or major update arrives.

Many games are released unannounced, but you’ll often see a couple of projects listed in the ‘Coming Soon’ section. Some have a release date, but most seem to be released by surprise.

Games with a “+” at the end are titles that have already been released on the App Store but have just received a new version (with no ads or microtransactions) on Apple Arcade.

These are the games that arrive this April:

  • Pocket Build (+): April 1st
  • Gear.Club Stradale
