Apple will launch production of two new MacBooks on branded processors only in the second half of 2021
According to authoritative analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple plans to release an updated 16-inch MacBook Pro and an all-new 14-inch laptop with proprietary processors in the second half of this year. A recent report from Nikkei Asia confirms these dates.
In a report on the cut in orders for the iPhone 12, which was published on Tuesday, the publication noted that Apple had postponed the start of mass production of two new MacBook models from May or June until the second half of the year. It is reported that both new computers will use Apple’s proprietary ARM chipsets. Perhaps we are talking about an improved version of the current M1. It is unlikely that Apple will equip the 16-inch MacBook Pro, the company’s flagship laptop, with the same chip as the shareable MacBook Air.
The new MacBook Pro is expected to receive Mini-LED displays, HDMI ports, and SD card readers. Some sources also claim that the company will return the magnetic MagSafe charging connector to branded laptops and ditch the controversial Touch Bar.
