In his latest Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros will debut sometime in September, October, or November.
“These new MacBooks were supposed to launch earlier, but complications around the new miniLED display have held up production,” he writes.
The Sellers Research Group (that’s me) thinks that time frame sounds about right. The upcoming laptops are expected to have a major redesign, run on Apple Silicon (M1 chips), and sport mini-LED displays. The mini-LED displays will likely use 10,000 mini-LEDs and will be comparable to OLED screens. They’ll result in good wide color gamut performance, high contrast and HDR, and local dimming.
