#APPLE WWDC 2022 DATES PRO#
New Macs = new M-series SoCs = new macOS.Īnd unless the new macOS ships in June, there isn't going to be a new M2 Mac on store shelves.Ī more interesting topic is whether Apple will follow a "tick-tock" release cadence: Mx and Mx Pro SoCs in even-numbered years (2020, 2022, 2024) and Mx Max and Mx Ultra SoCs in odd-numbered years (2021, 2023, 2025).įor sure, Apple's macOS QA has declined substantially over the past few years and I'm not convinced that they are capable of releasing a high-quality macOS to support four flavors of M-series SoCs at the same time. Things were different when Apple was still relying on Intel CPUs, Intel integrated GPUs and Radeon GPUs for their Macs but that time is passed. It's worth pointing out that there are no developer betas of the next generation macOS right now. Apple already set the dates for WWDC 2022.

If they attempt to ship new M2 Macs on Monterey, there would likely be little new functionality offered by the current macOS Monterey unless they heavily forked macOS which isn't Apple's modus operandii. Everything from iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 to watchOS 9 and macOS Ventura will be debuting this fall with tons of new features, and new hardware arrives.

It makes sense that new Macs running on new M-series SoCs will debut on the new macOS. Apple's WWDC 2022 keynote didn't disappoint. As is typical for Apple, they will unveil new version of their various operating systems (iOS, macOS, iPadOS, etc.) at WWDC which will be available to developers leading up to their official release in the fall: new iPhones running on new A-series SoCs on the new iOS.
