Most of Apple's big product announcements for the year were made in September, but the company may still have some surprises up its sleeve. Last week, it announced an oddball USB-C Apple Pencil, and Bloomberg's usually well-informed Mark Gurman says that a new Apple Silicon iMac refresh could arrive as soon as next week.
The iMac was last updated in the summer of 2021, well over two years ago, when Apple replaced the 21.5-inch Intel model with a redesigned M1-powered Apple Silicon model. Aside from the M1 MacBook Air, which Apple continues to sell as its entry-level notebook, it's the only kind of Mac that hasn't gotten some kind of M2 chip.
Gurman doesn't mention them, but an updated iMac could also give Apple the opportunity to refresh its Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse, and Magic Trackpad accessories with a USB-C port to match the new iPhone 15 series and the USB-C version of the AirPods. Right now, these accessories, the older iPhones Apple still sells, the Apple TV's Siri Remote, and the low-end iPad are all still using the Lightning port.
