Last year, Apple announced its own ARM-based Apple Silicon and the first chipset under this new category is M1, which is already powering devices like MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, and iMac.
The response received from the users as well as critics is quite good for the Apple M1 chipset and now the company has started the process of transitioning from Intel chips to its own Apple Silicon. This means that soon, all the computing devices from Apple will be powered by the company’s own chips.
The Cupertino-based tech giant is rumored to launch newly updated MacBook Pro laptops and now, the latest report coming from DigiTimes hint that the devices could be officially launched in September this year.
The upcoming Apple MacBook Pro models are said to come with an all-new design and two display options — 14-inch and 16-inch, featuring a Mini-LED screen. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman also recently indicated that the next few weeks will be quiet as Apple is not planning any major announcement or product reveals until the launch of its new iPhones.
The report from China adds that shipments of the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models will peak in October as the devices are expected to be available for purchase a month after its official announcement.
The new MacBook Pros are expected to feature a flat-edged design, a MagSafe charging port, and a few more ports, including HDMI and an SD-card slot reader. It is also expected to come powered by the next-generation Apple Silicon chipset — probably M1X or M2.
It could come packed with a 10-core Apple silicon chip with eight high-performance cores and two energy-efficient cores, along with 16 or 32-core GPU options and support for up to 64GB RAM. Preview reports indicate that Ruiyi Optoelectronics will be the exclusive supplier of these new Mini-LED panels while Quanta Computer will be responsible for the final assembly of the upcoming MacBook devices.
