As 2022 comes to a close, it’s no surprise that it’s been a busy year for Apple with many great hardware releases. The company debuted its Dynamic Island interactive notch, some killer new Macs, an M2 iPad Pro, and John Mayer’s new favorite smartwatch – Apple Watch Ultra.

Quick 2022 hardware recap
The first products announced in 2022 were during Apple’s Peek Performance event, where the company unveiled the new Mac Studio and Studio Display, the M1 Ultra chip with ridiculous performance and efficiency, an underwhelming iPhone SE, and a new 5th generation iPad Air.

Fast forward to June 6, WWDC22 was underway, where Apple routinely introduced its usual OS updates but, this year, also gave us the first hardware unveiling we’ve had during the developer conference in several years, with the M2 MacBook Air and the M2 13-inch MacBook Pro.
Then came the company’s September 7 Far Out event. Here, we saw Apple unveil its new iPhone lineup with the initial awe-inspiring Dynamic Island, an updated Apple Watch Series 8, Apple Watch SE, AirPods Pro 2, and the debut of the Apple Watch Ultra.
Every once in a while, Apple blesses us with a second fall product event. This year, we got the products but no event. Instead, it dropped new iPad Pro models, the 10th-generation iPad, and the third-generation Apple TV 4K via a press release.
