Last year, Apple announced its all-new M1 chipset as a part of Apple Silicon, the company’s own lineup of processors based on ARM architecture. After that, the tech giant has launched a few Mac devices powered by the M1 chipset. Ever since that, there have been rumors about the new MacBooks powered by a new M1X chipset.
In the latest development, new MacBook models powered by the upcoming M1X chipset have appeared in Eurasian Economic Commission filings. The listing was first spotted by Consomac for two devices with model numbers A2442 and A2485.
It’s noteworthy that there are several models in the listing but most of them are simply related to the updates for the upcoming macOS coming this fall. Only two of the model numbers — A2442 and A2485 are new and don’t match existing inventory from the brand.
Mark Gurman of Bloomberg has suggested that Apple is still on track to launch new Mac devices powered by the M1X chipset in the coming months. He adds that soon after that, the Cupertino-based giant could launch a new high-end Mac Mini, followed by a new iMac and Mac Pro next year.
For those who are unaware, the upcoming Apple MacBook Pro models are expected to come with an all-new design and two display options — 14-inch and 16-inch, featuring a Mini-LED screen. They 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.
Recently, it was reported that the new MacBook devices could be officially announced in September this year and could go on sale in October. To know for sure, we will have to wait and watch for new leaks or any announcement from the company.
