New Apple Silicon MacBooks
Probability: Very Low.
Ever since Apple showed us just how amazing its new M1 chip really is, many MacBook power users have been eagerly waiting for Apple to give the same Apple Silicon treatment to its higher-end MacBook Pro models, likely with an even more powerful “M1X” chip. After all, if an entry-level M1 MacBook Pro can already hold its own against an Intel Xeon Mac Pro, just imagine what the next-generation Apple Silicon could do in a 16-inch MacBook Pro.
While we don’t doubt that’s in the works, we don’t expect it to happen tomorrow. The new MacBooks are expected to be part of a bigger redesign — possibly ushering in a 14-inch MacBook Pro to replace the current 13-inch design — and we’d say they’re much more likely to make their debut at a fall event.
