I want to see 2023 MacBook Pros with M2 Pro/M2 Max processors and 5G capability

Sunny Optical will become Apple’s new CCM supplier as of 2025’s M5 MacBook Pro models.

In his latest “Power On” newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says Apple has delayed the launch of the redesigned MacBook Air until later this year and probably won’t launch new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models until 2023. I think he’s probably right, and I hope the next rev of the pro laptops add 5G connectivity.

Regarding the Air, Gurman thinks it will likely launch around September. As for the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros, he predicts they’ll arrive next year with “M2 Pro” and “M2 Max” processors. Gurman forecasts that only MacBook Pro update in 20223 will be a revamped entry-level MacBook Pro with a 13-inch display and an ‌M2‌ chip.

But back to the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros: I’d love to see Apple add 5G connectivity. This would be a major step for Apple as it’s yet to introduce any sort of cellular capability for its Mac laptop line. But it’s a step worth considering. Especially since competing laptops have the capability (you can find a partial list of such laptops here.)
