Apple plans to launch 5 new Macs in 2022, including a new entry-level MacBook Pro

According to reports, Apple plans to launch 5 new Macs in 2022, including a new version of the entry-level MacBook Pro.

The five new Macs include:

• A high-end iMac with Apple chips, above the 24-inch iMac in the product line
• Major upgrade of MacBook Air featuring "M2" chip and new design
• An upgraded Mac mini
• A new version of the entry-level MacBook Pro
• A new Mac Pro with Apple chips

It is reported that the launch of Apple's latest high-end MacBook Pro model brings a larger display, cancels the Touch Bar, and adds more ports.

Although there have been a lot of rumors surrounding iMac, MacBook Air, Mac mini and Mac Pro updates, this is the first time the entry-level MacBook Pro has appeared.

The whistleblower Gurman mentioned earlier that the next-generation entry-level MacBook Pro will contain the same M2 chip as the next-generation MacBook Air, with the same number of CPU cores as the M1 chip, up to 10 graphics cores, and improved performance.

According to the current situation, these five Mac single products will not appear one by one until the middle of next year or even the autumn conference at the earliest. More importantly, the higher-end iMac models and Mac Pro will be added to Apple's high-end chips to further break away. The dependence on Intel has realized the plan that Apple announced two years ago to replace Intel chips with self-developed chips within two years.

The details of the new machine are still unclear, but how the new entry-level MacBook Pro will find its position between the new M2 MacBook Air and the current high-end MacBook Pro, and whether aspects such as the Touch Bar will be retained. Still suspense.

In addition, Apple is continuing to cooperate with chip foundry partner TSMC TSMC, which is trial production of the 3nm process, which is N3. Apple's first 3nm chip may be launched in 2023, including the A17 chip on the iPhone 15 and the M3 series chip on the Mac. Of course, these names are only predictions, and it is unclear whether they will be the final names.
