The development and production machinery of Apple does not stop despite the fact that we can already end the year in terms of product launches. The latest has been the new computers with Apple Silicon, highlighting some models such as the Mac mini with an M1 chip or the range of 13-inch ‘Air’ and ‘Pro’ laptops. We have been talking about laptops for weeks and it is that next year they could considerably improve their performance. In the last hours, something has also been known about its possible price.
What teams would we see in 2021?
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, with sources very close to Apple’s production chain, usually releases the greatest amount of information about the devices that the company is preparing for the following year at this time. As far as laptops are concerned, he has been saying for weeks that in 2021 we would finally see the 13-inch MacBook Pro model aesthetically renewed, which would now have 14 inches and a screen with a miniLED panel that had been in the works for a long time and which would be a technology that the iPad Pro would also use.
As far as the MacBook Air is concerned, a renewal is also expected in the first half of next year, although Kuo states that they will not have miniLEDs until 2021 and even then it is not confirmed whether they will also adopt the new design or continue with 13, Current 3 inches. These new teams would come with Apple Silicon, either with an M2 or an improved version of the M1. In any case, it has already been said in the odd report that Apple would not completely leave Intel and possibly continue to offer versions with processors of this brand, at least until the transition is already well advanced.
They could keep the same prices
Not only are Apple Silicons proving to be much more efficient processors in Mac computers, but they are providing considerable cost savings for Apple in the long run. However, its development is not trivial and therefore there were doubts about whether prices would rise this year. We have finally seen that they offer even more competitive prices than with Intel. Now, with miniLED technology it will also be like this?
Kuo has also spoken about it and has confirmed that this new screen technology has a higher cost than the current ones, however he affirms that the Cupertino company could maintain prices because in the end it would end up being more profitable. This, far from being confirmed, could be excellent news for the user. At the end of the day, the price is always one of the most examined aspects in Apple products and that generate the most controversy.
Now we just have to wait for the months to pass and we can confirm or not if the Asian analyst’s reports are correct. Surely, as the weeks progress, we will continue to obtain new information that continues to give clues about these products, whether they are from Ming-Chi Kuo or any of Apple’s analysts and leakers who, luckily or unfortunately, are increasingly plus.
