Bad News about the Price of the Next MacBook Pros

If the rumors are true (everything points to yes), next November we will see two new MacBook Pro by Apple. Numerous features have been leaking in these months about these and now one has arrived that is especially remarkable and that could be bad news for many: their price . Here are more details.

MacBooks will go up in price according to a leaker

Dylandkt is one of the Apple product leakers that has gained more prestige in recent times after having advanced device features such as the M1 chip in the 2021 iPad Pro. This has now confirmed relative information on its Twitter account to the MacBook Pro M1X, which would arrive in 14 and 16-inch versions.

He stated in a tweet that he was satisfied to see that both computers will have identical performance, although he did drop that there will be a price increase on the small model compared to what the current 13-inch MacBook Pro with M1 chip costs. He did not mention how much that increase would be transformed into or if it will also affect the 16-inch model, although from his words we could rule out that he also refers to that.

Why will the small MacBook Pro go up in price?

To put a bit of context, the current model of MacBook Pro with M1 chip starts at 1,449 euros in Spain (1,299 dollars in the United States). The new 14-inch model would precisely replace this, since it is expected that it can even maintain a similar size despite increasing its screen by 0.7 inches, something that would be achieved with a redesign of the same.

It is precisely in this new design that we find the first reason why this price could increase. Apart from this, we should add some other features already filtered such as the return of ports such as HDMI, card reader and even MagSafe. If we add to that the increase in performance thanks to the M1X chip , we can see enough arguments for the company to justify the increase.

It must be said that in a way it can even be expected. It was a surprise to find that the first Macs with M1 did not increase in price. It could even be said that in some cases they went down. And we say that it was a surprise because understanding the investment that Apple had to make in the development of its ARM chips, anyone could imagine that this would affect the price, which until now had not happened.

In any case, as we anticipated at the beginning, these computers would not be presented until the month of November. Taking into account that prices are also usually the best kept secrets until the presentation event, we still have three months ahead. Therefore, we will remain attentive to any new information that can confirm or deny the claim made by the leaker Dylan.
