If every time an iPhone comes out there are already rumors of the next the next day, it is not surprising that it also happens with the range of Apple computers. We have just begun to see the first Mac with Apple Silicon, the M1 specifically, and we are already talking about the next generation. Specifically, information has been known about the date and possible redesign of the MacBook, all according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, a man with sources close to the production chain. Also, incidentally, information on other precious products of the Californian brand.
New MacBooks in late 2021
Kuo had been saying for months that we would see new MacBook Pro and Air later this year and that they would do so with Apple Silicon. The guru of the Cupertino company did not fail, although there was no trace of an also rumored 12-inch MacBook. Be that as it may, the Asian has returned with new data on the models that, it indicates, would be launched in the second half of 2021.
In addition to indicating this possible date, Kuo also affirms that they will have a new design that will make it look more like the current 16-inch MacBook, which went from having 15 inches thanks to a reduction of frames in its front part while maintaining practically the same size. of the team. We understand that this would refer to the 13-inch MacBook Pro, while the ‘Air’ would maintain its design. It is not ruled out that even the 16-year-old could suffer some change in his aesthetics.
What is not known at the moment is about its new processor. We understand that being a new generation they would include an M2 chip that, as is evident, would outperform the current M1. It remains to be seen if Apple in its strategy maintains a model with M1 at a lower cost as it has traditionally done with previous generations of Intel processors.
iMac and Mac Pro also renewed
A few hours ago we reviewed the possible renewal of the 21.5-inch iMac, anticipating a new design for this as it has been rumored in recent months. Kuo has also had words for this team and states that it could come in a size of 24 inches thanks precisely to the new redesign that is yet to be seen.
In his prediction, a more than possible reduced version of the Mac Pro is also added that would meet the needs of those who require power, although not as gross as the current version. It is understood that it would come with a dedicated chip from Apple, leaving behind the Intel versions that the model launched last year.
AirPods 3, iPad Pro and a redesigned Apple Watch
On the same note, Ming-Chi Kuo has also said that it is possible that Apple has reserved the end of the second quarter for the launch of the third generation AirPods , which have already been sighted with a possible design renewal equating it in this sense to the ‘Pro’ model, although without noise cancellation. Therefore these headphones could reach the market in early summer, around June of next year.
On the other hand, it has confirmed the existence of new screen technology for the iPad Pro , specifically the already rumored mini LED that the company plans to adopt for its most powerful tablets. All this has been commented on at the same time that it has warned of a very good demand for iPad Air, the latest tablet launched by the company with a design very similar precisely to the ‘Pro’ models.
And last but not least, he has commented that the Apple Watch Series 7 will have a new design or that it will at least improve along with new improvements in the field of health. In any case, it is too early to verify if this and the rest of the information released by Kuo will be accurate or not. Only time will tell.
