Apple is preparing a new MacBook Pro, which is expected to be released later this year with an M2 Pro and M2 Max chip.
A week after the (alleged) presentation of the iPhone 14, the rumors no longer revolve around one product: the MacBook Pro. Apple could release a new version of its high-end laptop in the coming weeks. According to the latest report from Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, Apple is developing the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips.
This device is expected to be a major upgrade of the two 14-inch and 16-inch models released last year. According to information from MacRumors, the brand new MacBook Pro should be entitled to better connectivity than the previous version. The device, in fact, must be equipped with an HDMI port and a MagSafe charger. Like the model released by Apple last June.
No one has set a release date for this device yet, but it looks like Apple is preparing for commercialization in early November. The Apple brand has just planned to hold a presentation conference at the end of October, aimed at the iPad and Mac.
A brand new iPhone next week
This conference leaves the field free to the iPhone and the Apple Watch, which should be the two great protagonists of the conference on September 7th. As for the next Apple phone, it should be very different from the iPhone 13. The notch may disappear on the Pro model.
The iPhone mini won’t be a part of it either. Too unpopular, the small model will not be renewed this year after two years of production. The September 7 conference should also be an opportunity to introduce a new Apple Watch. In addition to the 8 Series scheduled before the start of the school year, Apple could take advantage of the event to launch a brand new model of its connected watch. A “Pro” version of the Apple Watch whose price can exceed € 1000.
Two iPads and two Macs to end the year
This conference should also allow Apple to release the final version of iOS 16 and WatchOS 9. As for iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura, we will have to wait until the end of October and this new presentation keynote. During the latter, Apple could introduce two new tablets, the 10th generation iPad (entry-level model) and a new version of the increasingly successful iPad Pro.
For Macs, in addition to the MacBook Pro mentioned above, Apple may be introducing a new Mac mini to its lineup. According to the latest rumors about him, he is entitled to the M2 chip released by Apple in June.
