| Apple delays new MacBook Pro until fall |
While some people hope that Apple will announce a new MacBook Pro model at WWDC, the opening speech did not comment on that.
According to the latest predictions, the device will now be available in the third quarter of 2021.
These forecasts are based on a statement from an Apple supplier that the new devices will ship in the third quarter of this year, from July to September.
However, there is no absolute clarity on whether these posts are referring to the new MacBook Pro or to the individual components of the laptop.
There are rumors that WWDC will be making more product announcements and possibly new MacBook Pro models as well.
However, after the device was not discussed at the meeting, the device has now been pushed back to the third quarter of 2021. This stems from various media reports such as DigiTimes and Nikkei Asia.
Apple is expected to release two new MacBook Pro models during 2021. Delivery starts in the third quarter.
The new MacBook Pro:
These supply chain reports of delays in mass production of Apple's new MacBook Pro models indicate that the company has plenty of time to announce the release before the end of the year.
The new MacBook Pro models are expected to change a few things. It can be equipped with a brighter mini LED display and an upgraded design that is more streamlined at the top and bottom.
More importantly, these models also offer some controls not available on the 2016 MacBook Pro models, including an HDMI port, SD card slot, and magnetic charging port.
The report also notes that physical function keys are back in place to replace the Touch Bar.
According to the news, Apple's new, redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models use the M1X chip, which is a faster version of the M1 chip.
The m1x MacBook Pro is one of Apple's brands that was featured in the main WWDC video on YouTube. Other tags are iOS 15, M1X, iOS, Developer Conference, etc.
After the release of the M1 silicon chip in November, there are theories that the M1X is a redesigned chip from Apple for the new MacBook Pro models.
