Apple is expected to update all of the M1-powered Mac devices to the next-generation models powered by the upcoming Apple M2 chipset. Now it appears that the launch of this new processor could happen next month.
A new report coming from MacRumors, citing a source with close links to Apple’s supply chain claims that the new 13-inch MacBook Pro powered by the Apple M2 chipset will go official next month.
It is the same source that revealed last year’s last-minute Apple MacBook Pro notch for the webcam but not Face ID, which turned out to be true. This new report is in line with the preview report from DigiTimes.
It further adds that there won’t be any major changes in terms of the design for the upcoming MacBook which means that it will look exactly the same as the M1-powered 13-inch MacBook Pro. It will continue to have a Touch Bar but unlike the 14-inch and 16-inch models, there won’t be ProMotion display or a notch on top of the screen.
While the company has not yet confirmed this, rumors indicate that Apple will host its first event on this year on 8th March. At the upcoming spring event, the technology giant is expected to launch the next-generation iPhone SE with support for 5G connectivity.
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.
