Apple cuts orders for M2 Pro & M2 Max chips for 2022 MacBook Pros due to falling demand

In a note to clients Kuo said that “Apple cuts shipment forecasts for new 14″ & 16″ MacBook Pro by 20 to 30% before mass production, and it’s a structural risk to the high end ABF & Mini LED sectors. The only major upgrade for the new 14″ and 16″ MacBook Pros is the new processor, and limited new selling points may also be the reason for the lower than expected demand.”

The daughter of the founder of the Cupertino based giant shared a meme on her Instagram handle. Here, the meme carried the caption “Me upgrading from iPhone 13 to iPhone 14 after Apple’s announcement today,” and also included an image in which a man can be seen opening presents and finding the same exact shirt as the one he’s already wearing. In other words, Eve Jobs took a jab at Apple and called out the iPhone 14 for basically being a new iPhone 13 model.

This isn’t new for the iPhone maker, since it always faces a high number of trolls on social media and other platforms after its annual smartphone launches. With the brand using the same iconic design for the iPhone for the past couple of years, the new iPhone launches every year practically look identical to one another. Meanwhile, the sole difference is typically related to the internal specifications.

However, this situation is further made worse for Apple considering it launched the base iPhone 14 model with the same A15 Bionic chipset that is found in the last year’s iPhone 13. Although, the company claims that the new model offers enhanced performance and improve power efficiency. But it seems like to many, it still feels like the same smartphone being relaunched.
