Apple’s big WWDC showcase is coming up on June 5, which means we can probably expect May to be a pretty slow month for Apple releases. Why unveil any major new hardware or software when you have a much better opportunity in just a few weeks?
We have anticipated a new 15-inch MacBook Air in the spring, and maybe some other new gear, but now we think Apple is almost certainly going to wait until WWDC to release any of those products. The big star of WWDC is said to be the Mixed Reality headset (possibly named Reality Pro) but a few Mac updates might make an appearance, alongside all the new iOS, iPadOS, and macOS announcements.
In May we can expect the release of iOS 16.5, macOS 13.4, and the other associated OS updates, but those are rather minor. There will be some Apple TV+ releases and Apple Arcade games, but nothing that makes headlines. In fact, the conclusion of the third season of Ted Lasso–possibly the end of the entire series–might be the most notable event in Appleland this May.
