Later this 12 months, Gurman studies that 4 new Macs will characteristic the M2 chip. These embody a 13-inch MacBook Professional, Mac mini, a 24-inch iMac, and an overhauled MacBook Air.

Discover one thing there? That’s each macOS system that Apple at present sells with the first-generation M1 chip.

The brand new Macs are near launching. Three new entries within the Russian equal of the FCC level in direction of no less than one laptop computer. That may very well be the MacBook Air and even the 13-inch MacBook Professional. The opposite two may very well be the Mac mini and the 24-inch iMac.

With the M2 chip straight changing the M1 chip in Apple’s product stack, Gurman wonders if Apple will convey Professional and Max variations out in 2023. We expect Apple will; in any case, they did the identical with the M1 chip final 12 months with the most recent MacBook Professional fashions.

Gurman additionally expects a Mac Professional to interchange the Intel-powered one. This shall be powered by the “equal of both two or 4 M1 Max chips.”

The one M1-powered system in Apple’s product stack would be the iPad Professional after this 12 months. So will we see an M2-powered model of Apple’s greatest pill in 2023? As my 2018 11-inch iPad Professional is beginning to present its age, I hope so.
