Apple Files New Macs in Regulatory Database Ahead of Rumored Spring Event
Apple is rumored to be planning a virtual event for Tuesday, March 8, and ahead of time, the company has filed three unreleased Mac model numbers in a Eurasian regulatory database, as legally required.
Apple is expected to launch several new Macs with M1 Pro/Max and M2 chips this year, but it's unclear if any will be announced at the March event. One of the new Macs listed in the database is described as a "portable" computer, suggesting that it will be a MacBook of some kind.
Other products rumored to be announced at the event include new iPhone SE and iPad Air models, both with an A15 chip and 5G. In the latest episode of The MacRumors Show, we chatted with Andru Edwards about expectations and possibilities for the event.

According to oft-accurate display industry consultant Ross Young, a redesigned "iMac Pro" with a mini-LED ProMotion display could launch in June.
iPhone 14 Pro Rumored to Feature 8GB RAM, Matching Samsung's Galaxy S22
iPhone 14 Pro models will feature 8GB of RAM, the most memory ever offered in an iPhone, according to a rumor that surfaced out of Korea this week.
8GB of RAM would match the amount of RAM in Samsung's new Galaxy S22 models, and it would be an increase over the 6GB of RAM in iPhone 13 Pro models.
It's unclear how much RAM the standard iPhone 14 models will have, but it will likely be less than the Pro models.
