The newsletter hasn’t specified what exactly the new MacBook Pro is going to offer, so it remains to be seen whether this new model will be a 13-inch or a 14-inch laptop. If true, this would mean that this upcoming MacBook Pro would have the same number of cores as the M1 chip (four efficiency cores and four high-performance cores), as well as a maximum of 10 graphics cores. Gurman has previously mentioned that the next generation of entry-level MacBook Pros would likely run on the same M2 chip as the next-gen MacBook Air. They also now feature a webcam notch, which is something that the previous MacBook Pros lacked. The new MacBook Pros offered a huge revamp, bringing changes such as increased screen size, added performance through the M1 chip, the removal of the Touch Bar, and more. When the recent 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros launched, the previous entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro was rumored to simply be discontinued and replaced by the best version of the MacBook Air.
The majority of the new Macs had already been the subject of prior speculation, but one surprise snuck in: The alleged entry-level MacBook Pro. This summary of Apple’s plans for 2022 was shared by Mark Gurman of Bloomberg in his “Power On” newsletter.
The full list of upcoming Apple releases also includes a high-end iMac, a new Mac Mini, an updated MacBook Air, and a new Mac Pro, as well as a new iPhone SE, new AirPods Pro, and a VR/AR headset. Fitbit Versa 3Īpple is planning to release five new Macs in 2022, including a new entry-level version of the MacBook Pro.
I wouldn’t expect more than those colors (though the new gold will be more champagne like) plus my favorite iMac color," added Kuo in another tweet. Right now it comes in space gray, silver and gold. "The much-reported idea of the new MacBook Air coming in a range of “several colors” is probably exaggerated. " Agree with The new MacBook Air (MBA) will more likely offer three standard color options and probably plus one new color, rather than the rainbow style like the iMac as the market expects," tweeted Kuo. His view have been supported by another popular Apple analyst Min Chi Kuo. These colours will join the space gray and silver colour options that the MacBook Air comes in.
He also sees Apple introducing new colors (including a dark blue and a champagne-like gold). New MacBook Air may come in new colours Gurman says that the new Air will be the biggest revamp to the device in over a decade, bringing in a new design not dissimilar to the latest MacBook Pros. Apple had planned to launch the new laptop at this year’s conference, but the much-discussed Covid-related lockdowns in China led to shutdowns of factories that make MacBooks, leading to potential delays." He, however, adds that Apple fans may have to wait for the new MacBook Air as even if the new Air is announced at the conference, due to current component shortages there will not be an immediate release date. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, "there's even the possibility of a new MacBook Air on Monday. There has been speculations about Apple launching a new MacBook Air at the event. Since the last two years (2020, 2021) Apple has not made any hardware announcement at the WWDC event, however, this year may be different.
