Apple leaker Dylan tweets that both MacBook Pros that coming this fall will have the same chip and the same performance. In other words, both will pack the Apple-made M1X processor.
Apple suppliers have begun mass production of the upcoming 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros, according to DigiTimes. Apple wants to have 600,000-800,000 shipping monthly by November, the report adds.
The Sellers Research Group (that’s me) thinks we’ll see the revamped Mac laptops announced next month and begun shipping in late September or October.
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. Also, look for the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros to ditch the controversial Touch Bar.
