Apple may be planning a surprise product announcement next Tuesday

Could Apple have one last product announcement that we might add to our Christmas wish list? Maybe. MacRumors says it’s obtained an internal Apple memo from a “reliable source” that says the tech giant informed service providers that it has AppleCare-related changes planned for Tuesday, December 8, at approximately 5:30 a.m. Pacific Time. 

Specifically, Apple has advised technicians to prepare for new product SKUs, new/updated product descriptions, and new/updated product pricing, according to the memo. If — and that’s the key word — new hardware is coming, it will likely be announced via a press release.

So what could be announced? AirTags tracking devices. AirPod Studio over-the-ear headphones. A new Apple TV set-top box (with a gaming controller, perhaps). Less likely, IMHO, are any new Macs or iPads.
