M2 MacBook Air, MacBook Pro Expected To Launch Later This Year

Earlier this week, there was slightly worrying rumor by the oft-accurate analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who claimed that Apple might proceed to make use of the M1 chipset within the 2022 MacBook Air refresh.

We say that it’s worrying as a result of needless to say the M1 relies on the structure of Apple’s A14 chipset, and provided that we’re in all probability going to see the A16 this 12 months, we thought on the very least Apple might improve it to the M2 which presumably can be primarily based on newer tech.

However, there may be some excellent news as a result of a brand new report from 9to5Mac claims that Apple is predicted to launch M2 MacBook Airs and MacBook Pros this 12 months. This report contradicts the earlier one from Kuo, however seeing as they’re each nonetheless rumors it’s in all probability greatest to take it with a grain of salt.

The new MacBook Pro is predicted to be a direct substitute of the 13-inch M1 mannequin that was launched again in 2020. This means that it’ll act as a extra “entry-level” model of the newer 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros for many who need some “Pro” options however don’t essentially want all that horsepower or don’t need to spend that form of cash.
