New MacBook Pros with Mini-LED Displays due before the end of the year
One of Apple’s key suppliers involved in the production of Mini-LED arrays for the recently announced iPad Pro was able to solve problems with 14- and 16-inch panels for the upcoming MacBook Pros. Accordingly, the new MacBook should be released on schedule.
TSMT, a company that manufactures backlighting for Mini-LED arrays, reportedly faced limitations related to printed circuit boards and adhesives in Mini-LED panels. Sources say that after changing the supplier of these components, the company could solve existing problems and establish the production of panels that meet Apple’s quality requirements. Thus, Apple will have time to launch new mobile computers in the earlier scheduled time.
The 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros are expected to be introduced later this year. The devices are credited with using a magnetic connector for MagSafe charging, an expanded array of physical ports, including an HDMI video output and SD card slot: a brand new ARM-branded M1X or M2 chip. The new chipset is expected to boast improved performance and even better power efficiency than the current M1.
