DigiTimes: Apple to introduce MacBook Pro laptop with M2 chip next month
DigiTimes, citing its sources in the supply chain, reports that the MacBook Pro with the M2 chip will debut as early as next month, that is, in March.
What does it mean?
According to DigiTimes, a new laptop model will be presented at a spring presentation, which, expected to take place on March 8. If so, the MacBook Pro will join the iPhone SE 3 smartphone and the updated iPad Air tablet.
“According to sources, Apple will release a number of new devices in early March, including a new MacBook Pro with the latest M2 processor, a budget iPhone SE with 5G support, and an iPad. With the exception of the processor, most of the other components used in the new MacBook Pro will reportedly have nearly the same specs as the existing model with M1 chips, prompting MacBook Pro supply chain partners to support production during the week-long Chinese New Year holiday. ", the report says.
But keep in mind that DigiTimes sources often provide reliable information, but the site has a mixed reputation when it comes to interpreting this information and accurately deciphering Apple's plans, especially regarding product launch dates.
By the way, earlier about such a laptop said Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, but was expecting a later release in the second half of the year, but not in March. He also predicts that the new MacBook Pro will lose the Touch Bar.
