Apple is rumored to be gearing up to host its first launch event of the year next month and now a new report claims that the Cupertino-based technology giant will be launching the next-generation entry-level MacBook Pro at the same event.
The latest report coming from DigiTimes claims that the Apple MacBook Pro, powered by the yet unannounced M2 chipset, will go official next month. This is likely to happen at the rumored event taking place on 8th March.
The development comes just days after it was reported that the upcoming iPhone SE, which will also have 5G connectivity support, could get launched on 8th March. It’s noteworthy that the company has not yet confirmed the date of its upcoming event.
Apple M2 will mark the debut of the second-generation Apple Silicon processors after the company launched the M1 chipset a couple of years back. Apart from the MacBook Pro, the M2 chipset will power the new MacBook Air and other devices that are already powered by the current-generation M1 processor.
In terms of specifications, almost everything is expected to be the same as the M1-powered MacBook Pro. This ensures that there won’t be any major supply chain issues for the product. Apart from the iPhone SE 2022 and the MacBook Pro, the company is also expected to launch a new iPad, which is likely to be the iPad Air.
Do note that the launch of the M2-powered MacBook Pro is still a rumor and there’s a possibility that the announcement of this device could take place at a later date. Instead, the company could announce the much-awaited 27-inch iMac.
