Apple potrebbe presto svelare nuove creature da aggiungere al già nutrito ventaglio delle proposte. Si tratta di due dispositivi che, finora, erano rimasti fuori dal gruppo degli aggiornamenti sostanziali avvenuti negli ultimi mesi. Now, however, MacBook Pro and Mac Mini would have all the cards in order to make their official debut in the last quarter of 2021.
To give the news of the next launch was Dylandkt, Twitter account that already in the past has spread on the web several interesting rumors then revealed congruent with reality. According to the tipster, there would be many news ready to wait for the fans of the most advanced handset of the bitten apple. Already in the month of May, the profile has anticipated some possible introductions in the incoming version of the Pro laptop, to which now are added other features related mainly to the integrated processor, the updated formula of the proprietary chip M1. Without forgetting, of course, the mini computers from Cupertino.
MacBook Pro, what changes?
The anticipations of DylanDkt had already introduced the possibility of a new design, with flat edges, narrower bezels to reduce the size while avoiding taking away space from the display and a block dedicated to the connectors larger with MagSafe, HDMI port and SD memory reader. To this, then, just in the last few hours the tipster has added the presence of M1X, which is the update of what is currently in use on the latest models of MacBook released at the end of last year.
The processor of Apple, revised and corrected, should bring nice additions, such as more Thunderbolt channels (which would mean faster data transfer), a greater number of cores for what concerns CPU and GPU and support for multiple external monitors. Clearly, he points out, this will lead to an inevitable higher power consumption.
MacBook Minis, what will they look like?
The introduction of future Mac Minis, on the other hand, would be the answer to the absence of a new edition of iMac Pro. On Twitter we read that they too could enjoy the updated chip, as well as the changes planned for the more advanced laptops. These would therefore act as definitive replacements for the high-end Mini, like the Macbook Pro 14 and 16 inches that should still remain available in the variant branded Intel.
MacBook Pro and MacBook Mini, when will they arrive?
According to the tweet published by DylanDkt, it is essential to keep an eye on the period between the end of October and early November. Only then will the devices be launched and it will be finally possible to test the capabilities of the processor.
In spite of some previous wrong prediction, the hypothesis of the profile is similar to what Mark Gurman of Bloomberg recently claimed. The journalist, in fact, had reported the presentation for the summer, then a handful of weeks from the idea of the tipster. We will have to wait for the end of the beautiful season to bring us further news waiting to see Apple’s work materialized.
